Abstract

Three developmental perspectives complementary to Kohlberg's cognitive theory of moral development are addressed: (a) further delineations in the stage development of young children, (b) content that includes caring and responsibility for others, and (c) links to moral behavior. The work of Damon, Selman, Gilligan, and research on prosocial education is explained in light of their contributions to a more comprehensive view of moral development. Implications of this research for moral education are discussed, and a comprehensive model for moral education research is proposed.
