ABSTRACT
School is a social context. While teacher-child interactions during school are readily apparent, the majority of children’s time in school is spent engaged with and interacting with other children. Indeed, most of the interactions (both positive and negative) that students experience during a typical school day are with peers. Peer interaction has long been theorized to play an important role in moral education, and thus, investigating peer interactions during school settings is essential for promoting and facilitating moral education of children.
