Abstract

In this paper, we explore the teaching of ethics in computing related fields. The article intends to share ideas on moral development and the nature of morality, specifically as it relates to changes that educators may be trying to elicit within students when teaching ethics. The paper then addresses educational theories that are better suited to enabling moral development with suggestions on how these theories might shape classroom climate and instructional approaches.
