In this era of fast development and improvement, understanding learners’
characteristics and how teachers could provide a more realistic and healthy learning
environment for the learners is a very important consideration. Identifying the social, sexual
and moral characteristics is a crucial part of becoming a teacher.
Once teachers are able to understand these unique characteristics, they can provide

learners. The education sector should become more emphatic and sensitive to this advocacy
for the sake of training the younger one with the ideals of integrity and identity building.
The parents and the local community may later benefit from these since they will be
informed and trained on how to handle and deal with our learners. Once teachers are able
to recognize these distinctive qualities, they can create a healthy environment. For the sake
of educating the next generation in the values of integrity and identity formation, the
educational sector should become more attentive and emphatic to this argument.

as well as a morally advanced ethos in the family, peer group, mass media,
politics, etc., that is in the child’s environment and the society at large)
4. Cognitive conflict
