Thomson, George O. B. – Viewpoints in Teaching and Learning, 1981
An outline of Kohlberg's formulation of moral development is presented. The development of empathy is considered central to moral development since it is the basis for the motivation to help others. A value-centered curriculum is suggested, but it is argued that moral development is not merely a matter of education. (JN)
