Abstract: Individuals cannot morally reason if they are not morally aware, and they will not be morally aware if they are not self-aware. Self-awareness is the conscious ability to habitually monitor one’s thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Practicing self-awareness is an intentional and conscious process—it does not just happen. Therefore, character development programs need to first focus on self-awareness and meta-cognition to improve the ability of students to morally reason.
