Cultural Invariance and the Denial of Moral Regression: A Critique of Piaget and Kohlberg.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Partington, Geoffrey – International Journal of Social Education, 1997
Offers a trenchant critique of Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg, both of whom claimed to identify stages in moral development that are "universal, culturally invariant, and nonregressive." Explains some inadequacies in these theories, which have become so influential in education, and offers suggestions for further investigation. (MJP)
