Curricular Effectiveness in Moral/Values Education: A Review of Research.

Leming, James S.

Journal of Moral Education, v10 n3 p147-64 May 1981

A total of 59 studies were reviewed, 33 focusing on values clarification and 26 on moral development. The research on values clarification indicated that little or no confidence is warranted regarding its potential curricular effectiveness. However, the research base for the moral development approach indicated that cautious optimism is appropriate. (Author/SJL)
