Moral is the ability to understand values in a society concerning good or bad, right or wrong things, and what should or should not be done by an individual in a society. Moral development of adolescence is a time when teenagers are already more mature and knowledgeable about moral values and the concepts of morality than children. Problem solving can engage students in solving problems systematically to deal with the problem associated with the existing life in the community and surrounding environment. Problems of tidal agriculture were chosen to be the case, so that we can get the moral dilemmas and characteristics of the stages of moral development of students through problem solving. This research is aimed at describing (1) moral development stage of the students of SMP Negeri 1 Gambut concerning issues of tidal agriculture in Kabupaten Banjar through valid and reliable problem solving, (2) the characteristics of moral development stages of the students of SMP Negeri 1 Gambut concerning issues of tidal agriculture in Kabupaten Banjar through valid and reliable problem solving. The method used qualitative approach and descriptive type. The instruments of the research were in the form of initial tests of moral development using Defining Issues Test (DIT), written assignments, and interviews. The samples of the research were students of class VIII SMP Negeri 1 Gambut, Kabupaten Banjar. The results of this research showed that moral development stages of the students of SMP Negeri 1 Gambut concerning the issues of tidal agriculture in Kabupaten Banjar through problem solving were in stages 2, 3 and 4. The characteristics of the moral development stages of the students of SMP Negeri 1 Gambut concerning the issues of tidal agriculture in Kabupaten Banjar through problem solving were the characteristics of stage 2 (self-interest), the characteristics of stage 3 (environmental expectations), and the characteristics of stage 4 (understanding social rules).

The implementation of the 2013 Curriculum is to create a creative and innovative person. One of the right approaches is Problem Solving. Circulatory system material is the material that suits the problem solving approach. Less varied teaching materials will make the learning process becomes monotonous so that learners are not interested to learn. Therefore, a research aimed to produce problem-based solving module with mind map of circulatory system material for students of class VIII SMP.This research is a development research using development procedure from Plomp with three stages: initial investigation stage, development stage or prototype, and assessment phase. The object of this research is problem solving module minded mind map, and the subject of research is teachers and learners SMPN 15 Padang.Validity results obtained an average of 86.46% with valid criteria.

This study investigates the use of imaginative role-play games to sponsor positive development in young adult moral reasoning. Twelve college students participated in six approximately 4-hour gaming sessions using a customized game system based on Dungeons & Dragons™ (D&D, 1974, 4th ed.). The games contained embedded social/moral dilemmas (e.g., whether to torture a prisoner for information) that participants encountered and had to work through as a group. Significant growth in moral development, as measured with the Defining Issues Test and the Self-Understanding Interview was demonstrated in the gaming groups, but was not replicated in two control groups, who did not participate in the gaming sessions. This suggests that imaginative role-play gaming structures can function as an engaging, interactive “moral training ground,” a medium that promotes moral development, and highlights the difference between antisocial and prosocial violence.

A decline in moral is among the impacts of technological development. For this reason, Thomas Lickona and Lawrence Kohlberg developed a concept of moral development, a concept which has also been discussed in the Holy Quran. Lickona stated that moral development stages are started with the ownership of moral knowledge (moral knowing) and move to moral feeling and moral action. Kohlberg stated that there are six stages in moral development. The stages are in three phases. First phase is called pre-conventional, which consists of stage 1 and stage 2. In this phase, people are more concerned about being right and wrong and getting reward or punishment. The next phase is called conventional phase, which consists of stage 3 and stage 4. In this level, people are more driven by internal motivation and how they are perceived by society. The final phase is post conventional phase, consisting of stage 5 and stage 6. In this level, people are able to independently interpret moral values and are driven by more universal values. The Quran divided the stages into some classes which are mentioned as ulul ilm (those of knowledge), ulin nuha (those of intelligence), ulil abshar (those of vision), ulil albab (those of understanding), ulil amri (those in authority), ulil aidi (those of strength) dan ulil azmi (those of determination).

Abstract This study investigated the relationship between English teachers’ epistemological beliefs and moral dilemma. In doing so, 70 English teachers were selected from different language institutes and were included in the research sample. The instruments used to collect the data included the Schommer Epistemological Questionnaire (SEQ) and the Defining Issues Test (DIT). The collected data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation method and descriptive statistics in SPSS software. The findings revealed that the participants believed that knowledge improves with experience over time, and that there was also an innate ability to acquire knowledge. They also displayed conflicting views about the simplicity/complexity of knowledge. The analysis of different stages of moral development in the views of the English teachers showed an ascending trend in the moral development from stage 2 (the focus on personal interests) through stage 6 (appeal to intuitive moral principles/ideals). Besides, significant differences were found among different stages of moral development as assessed by the EFL teachers and also in terms of the impact of different moral reasoning schemas on the participants when making judgments about different moral dilemmas.

This study sought to determine whether or not the discussion of moral dilemmas was related to the gain scores obtained by juvenile delinquents on a test of moral development. 13 female and 16 male juvenile delinquents were assigned to a developmental group or a control group. The Defining Issues Test was administered as a pretest to determine levels of moral development. Subjects in the developmental group were then exposed to moral dilemmas which were used to stimulate group discussion moderated by the first investigator. The group discussion consisted of 6 l½-hr. sessions over a 4-wk. period. Comparison of pretest and posttest scores on the issues test showed that group membership was significantly related to gain scores. Subjects in the developmental group—but not the control group—scored substantially higher on the posttest than on the pretest. While the moral enhancement procedure used in this study may constitute a viable foundation for working with juvenile delinquents' responses on a moral judgment scale, it still remains to be seen if these procedures would interact in a similar fashion with the actual level of their moral behaviors.

ABSTRACT: This work describes ethylene and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) action on post-harvest shelf life of four development stages of nasturtium flowers. To reach this goal, we carried out three experiments. In the first and second experiments, we studied five ethylene (0; 0.1; 1; 10; 100 and 1000 μL/L) and three 1-MCP concentrations (0.25; 0.5 and 0.75 μL/L), respectively. In the third experiment, 1-MCP was followed by combined with ethylene (only 1-MCP; only ethylene; and 24 hours of exposure to 0.75 μL/L 1-MCP followed by 24 hours of exposure to 100 μL/L ethylene). All experiments had two control treatments, one keeping non-exposed flowers inside and another outside exposure chambers. Experiments were set in factorial design, in complete blocks at random, with four 10-flower replications each. Flower senescence was determined by a pre-established visual scale and by observing floral bud development. Ethylene dose above 10 μL/L induced flower wilting and premature senescence from the second floral development stage. Furthermore, higher concentrations of exogenous ethylene promoted irregular flower opening and/or morphological abnormalities in opened flowers. 1-MCP effectively extended post-harvest longevity of nasturtium flowers, independent of the concentration and even in the presence of exogenous ethylene.

This study investigated the impact of a 15-week outdoor experiential program on the moral reasoning of college students. One hundred and ninety-six university students volunteered to participate in this study, which utilized Rest's (1979) Defining Issues Test (DIT). The DIT investigates how individuals arrive at making decisions, and formulates a “P” (Principled moral reasoning) score for each subject. The groups were found to be homogeneous in moral reasoning at the pretest (outdoor experiential x = 36.07; control x = 33.08; F = 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference on the posttest scores of the outdoor experiential program participants (x = 40.98) in relation to the control group (x = 34.14) (F = 3.84). The results of this study demonstrated that the outdoor experiential program participants were significantly different from the control group at posttest. It is postulated that even though improved moral reasoning was not a stated objective, the outdoor experiential students, through front-loading, reflection, critical thinking, problem solving, and adherence to the full value contract, did enhance their level of moral reasoning. Through the combined modeling of behavior and discussion, changes in behavior can occur. The nature of outdoor experiential programs seems well suited to positively influence moral and ethical reasoning.

This study investigated the relations among ethnicity, moral reasoning, and collectivism by administering the Defining Issues Test and the Individualism-Collectivism Scale to 165 Euro-American and Asian graduate students. To the data were applied analyses of variance, correlation, t test, and regression analyses. The analysis indicated that the Asian subjects had lower P scores on the Defining Issues Test so Kohlberg's model may not incorporate the concerns and experience of Asian people. The study also showed that scores on collectivism were not necessarily associated with low P scores.
