Abstract
This study, conducted in Korean classrooms, investigated kindergarten children's reasoning during group moral discussions of problematic situations. The children were presented with pictures depicting problem situations distributed by the Korean Ministry of Education and were invited to: (a) reason about others' perspectives, (b) grasp the causes of the problems, and (c) seek ways to solve the problems. The study's findings suggest that young children be provided with more opportunities to engage in discussions of problem situations. Additionally, the researcher recommends further study of moral reasoning processes in preschoolers.
