A family-centered view of socialization has dominated child development research literature. Particularly lacking is knowledge of the influences of group participation where it is available and encouraged. The investigators carried out an observational field study in group optimizing settings in Israel. Variables were age and setting and the study included 32 groups of children aged 11-31 divided among four age categories in two types of communal settlement with differing amounts of group exposure. Differences in group behaviors were primarily related to developmental level but setting effects were apparent. The implications of such early appearances of group behaviors are considered.

This chapter concerns theory and research relevant to child development and early childhood education and care (ECEC), which is a key ecology for human development. In this chapter, the authors provide an overview of the organizational features and processes important to understanding these settings. The authors then focus on describing the Nordic welfare model as it relates to ECEC settings, with an exploration of how certain ethics are reflected in the design, goals, and practice of ECEC settings in Sweden. The chapter then moves to summarizing and reflecting on the empirical research literature on how Swedish ECEC settings may support aspects of children’s moral development; finally, the authors pose several questions that may prove important to advancing future research in this area.

Abstrak: Kohlberg sangat memperdulikan perkembangan manusia, sehingga dia mengemukakan tiga tahapan perkembangan potensi manusia, sedangkan Islam sebagai agama yang rahmatan lil ‘alamiin sangat memperdulikan perkembangan manusia, sehingga mengemukakan konsep tentang perkembangan tersebut dalam hadits dan al-Qur’an. Persamaan antara kedua teori tersebut adalah sama-sama mengungkapkan tahapan-tahapan perkembangan anak dan perkembangan potensi anak. Kemudian juga mengungkapkan tahapan pendidikan yang harus dilaksanakan kepada anak supaya anak dapat berkembang sesuai dengan bakat alaminya. Perbedaannya mulai dari perbedaan epistemologi dan juga perbedaan pengembangan konsep fitrah.   Kata kunci: Potensi Anak Usia Dini, Teori Kohlberg Abstract: Kohlberg really cares about human development, so he put forward three stages of human potential development, while Islam as a religion which is rahmatan lil 'alamin really cares about human development, so he put forward the concept of this development in the hadith and the Qur'an. The similarities between the two theories are that they both reveal the stages of child development and the development of children's potential. Then also reveal the stages of education that must be carried out to children so that children can develop according to their natural talents. The differences start from differences in epistemology and also differences in the development of the concept of fitrah.   Keywords: Early Childhood Potential, Kohlberg's Theory
