In this module students (grades 7-9) examine some of the many issues related to transportation and consider how different problems impact upon their lives and the lives of others. Student material consists of readings, dilemmas, and activities. These are presented in four sections focusing on land transportation, water transportation, air transportation, and future perspectives. In addition to role playing and simulation exercises, dilemma/discussion formats are utilized to highlight and heighten the underlying issues. Dilemmas are brief stories posing a critical decision to be made by a main character. This decision revolves around conflicts between two or more moral/ethical issues (as identified by Kohlberg) presented in the situation, and it is the moral/ethical implication that provides the thrust for later student discussions. Preceding each dilemma are readings/case studies providing background information regarding issues in the dilemma. Questions are also provided to stimulate thinking about the issues and generate discussions. The module may be used as a separate unit of study, as a mini-course, or incorporated in such subject areas as social studies, language arts, or science. (JN)
