Moral development of children of early and pre-school age in contemporary society

U okviru rada provedeno je istraživanje o razvoju moralnosti kod djece rane i predškolske dobi u suvremenom društvu. Svrha je bila dobiti odgovore na pitanja vezana za odabrane priče, a sve s ciljem da se izvuče zaključak u kojoj fazi razvoja moralnosti se trenutno nalazi svako dijete koje je bilo intervjuirano. Kao metodu koristila sam intervju i promatranje sa sudjelovanjem, jer sam smatrala da ću otvorenim tipom pitanja dobiti najiscrpnije odgovore. Prikupljene podatke sam uspoređivala s teorijskim pristupima i došla do zaključka, da dječje iskustvo svakim danom raste, a time se formiraju dječji stavovi o onome što je ispravno, a što ne, kako oni shvaćaju određene postupke i kako bi zapravo trebalo reagirati u nekim situacijama. Važno je naglasiti da je proučavanje razvoja morala veoma je kompleksan zadatak i traži detaljan i posvećen pristup, koji treba poticati i povećavati uzorke kako bi se mogli dobiti što iscrpniji odgovori što vode postavljanju još čvršćih teorija.This paper presents a research on moral development of children at early age and preschool period in modern society. The purpose of the research was to get the answers to the questions related to selected stories, with the aim to conclude in which phase of the development of morality each interviewed child currently is. I used the interview and observing through participation as basic methods of research, assuming that an open type of questions could provide me with the most detailed answers. I compared the collected data to theoretic approaches, and came to a conclusion that children's experience broadens from day to day, which helps them to adopt an attitude about what is right and what is wrong, about how they understand certain behaviour and how to react in certain situations. It is important to underline that the study of the development of morality is a very complex mission and requires a detailed and a dedicated approach, which should encourage and increase the number of samples in order to obtain more detailed answers that lead to formulating even more coherent theories
