SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM AIMED AT DEVELOPING MORAL SELF-AWARENESS IN ADOLESCENCE

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical period for moral development, where individuals form their values, ethics, and understanding of right and wrong. This paper explores the specific features of a program designed to develop moral self-awareness in adolescents. The program emphasizes self-reflection, ethical reasoning, empathy-building exercises, and real-life scenario discussions. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study evaluates the program's effectiveness in fostering moral self-awareness among participants. The results indicate significant improvements in participants' ability to reflect on moral dilemmas, understand diverse perspectives, and make value-based decisions. The paper also delves into the long-term implications of such programs in shaping responsible and socially aware individuals. Recommendations for educators and policymakers are also provided to ensure the sustainability and scalability of moral development initiatives.
