Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Reasoning

Encyclopedia of Childhood and Adolescence, Apr 06, 2001 by Dianne K. Daeg de Mott

With all its possible flaws, however, Kohlberg's theory of moral development was the first of its kind and remains the springboard for all subsequent research into moral reasoning. Critiques of Kohlberg's theory have led, and continue to lead, to more expansive and inclusive understandings of the development of moral reasoning. Kohlberg's Just Community program also yielded significant results and led to the ongoing creation of other similar alternative education programs.
