Annotation

“Moral experimentation” is presented in the article as a gradual preparation of high school students and students for possible moral selections and actions through the modeling of complex ethical situations in activating methods. Such modeling, in contrast to real ethical difficulties, allows, on the one hand, to detachedly see a difficult situation and one’s behavior in it, and on the other hand, helps to better and deeper feel those internal and external “barriers” that often prevent a person from behaving more decently. Psychological and pedagogical conditions are considered, when game and discussion procedures are more suitable for modeling moral choices, and when these procedures should be abandoned.
