This empirical study aimed at determining any significant difference in level of moral judgment between behaviourally handicapped adolescent clinic school pupils of normal intelligence (experimental group) and a matched sample of non-behaviourally handicapped pupils (control group). Moral judgment level was measured in terms of Global stage Scores and Weighted Average Scores using Kohlberg's Moral Judgment Interviews and standard Issue scoring. Secondary aims were to determine whether the data obtained indicated significant sex differences in level of moral judgment and to compare the mean level of moral judgment of the experimental and control groups with existing research. A statement and motivation of the problem and clarification of concepts were followed by an evaluation of applicable pre-Kohlbergian research, the philosophical foundations of Kohlberg’s theory and the theory itself. This was followed by an examination of the methods of research and the empirical study. The data generated indicated a significant difference in mean level of moral judgment between the research groups in favour of the control group when controlling for age, gender and socio-economic status. This difference was highlighted by comparisons with existing research. No significant gender differences in moral judgment were found. Important conclusions reached were: - Experimental group pupils were retarded in level of' moral judgment and, unlike the pupils in the control group, most had not yet reached stage 3 moral reasoning. - Sex differences in moral judgment were not found as is predicted in Kohlbergian theory (Colby & Kohlberg, 1987: 130). - Sub-group comparisons indicated chronological age to be an important factor in the measurement of moral judgment. The research findings imply that: - Attempts should be made to raise the level of moral judgment of pupils like those in the experimental group specifically, but also that of all pupils. - Planned moral education programmes can ignore sex differences, but not chronological age. - Varied research into moral judgment is necessary. / Dissertation (MEd)--PU for CHO, 1990

The base reference theory for the search is the Moral Development theory of Lawrence Kohlberg (1927-1987). The empirics investigation is performed in a Centro Universitário La Salle – Unilasalle – Canoas, Rio Grande do Sul State/Brasil. The aim subjects are Graduation professors in age between 33-65 years old, with teaching experience between 6-30 years in teaching, searching, extension and university administration areas, working in 17 graduation courses in the 28 which are offered by the institution. The methodology is the discussion of moral dilemmas of Kohlberg, using three of them: Heinz’s Dilemma, Joe’s Dilemma and Dr. Jeferson’s Dilemma (APENDICIS E). Each dilemma contains a succession of situations which the searched subjects answered, presenting their justification for each of them. A semi-structured interview with each one of the professors completed the evaluation of moral dilemma. The assay of collected data was done using the Bardin’s methodology, considering the identification categories, the moral development levels and stages of Kohlberg. The 17 subjects were identified in 11 (64,70%) in Conventional Level – 5 (29,40%) in Stage 3 – Expecting, Relations and Interpersonal Conformities and 6 (35,30%) in Stage 4 – Preservation of Social System and the Conscience; and 6 (35,30%) subjects in Post Conventional level, all of them in stage – The Social Contracts or the Utility and Individual Rights.The results and conclusions of the search discuss the interface of the subjects’ answers related to the moral development level, their educative experience and the reflexes in education; they also sum up what they think and how they act in moral education in the graduation level. It presents a proposal of moral education from Kohlberg’s moral development theory as possibility and potentiality in the perspective of moral formation of teachers. / Esta tese em educação tem por objetivo identificar o nível e o estágio de desenvolvimento moral, em um Estudo de Caso, de um grupo de professores da Educação Superior. O referencial teórico que fundamenta a pesquisa é a teoria do Desenvolvimento Moral de Lawrence Kohlberg (1927-1987). A investigação empírica se realiza no Centro Universitário La Salle – Unilasalle – Canoas, Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil. Os sujeitos da pesquisa são professores de Educação Superior com idade que varia de 33 a 65 anos, com tempo de magistério de 6 a 30 anos de experiência nas áreas de ensino, pesquisa, extensão e administração universitária, atuam em 17 cursos de graduação dos 28 oferecidos pela Instituição. A metodologia usada é a discussão de dilemas morais de Kohlberg, sendo usados três deles: o Dilema de Heinz, o Dilema de Joe e o Dilema do Dr. Jeferson (APÊNDICE E). Cada dilema compreende uma sucessão de situações às quais o pesquisado respondeu, apresentando sua justificativa para cada uma delas. Uma entrevista semiestruturada com cada um dos professores completou a avaliação dos dilemas morais. A análise dos dados coletados foi realizada com base na metodologia de Bardin, considerando-se as categorias de identificação, os níveis e estágios de desenvolvimento moral de Kohlberg. Os 17 sujeitos foram identificados, sendo 11 (64,70%) no Nível Convencional – 5 (29,40%) no estágio 3 – Das Expectativas, Relações e Conformidades Interpessoais e 6 (35,30%) no Estágio 4 – Da Preservação do Sistema Social e da Consciência; e 6 (35,30%) sujeitos no Nível Pós-convencional, todos no estágio 5 – Do Contrato Social ou da Utilidade e Direitos Individuais.Os resultados e as conclusões da pesquisa discutem as interfaces das respostas dos sujeitos relativas ao estágio de desenvolvimento moral, à sua vivência educativa e aos reflexos na educação, além de realizar uma síntese do que pensam e como atuam em relação à educação moral na educação superior. Apresenta-se, também, uma proposta de educação moral a partir da teoria do desenvolvimento moral de Kohlberg como possibilidade e potencialidade na perspectiva da formação moral de educadores.

Jugeant désuète la transmission autoritaire des valeurs et insatisfaisante la clarification des valeurs, Kohlberg propose comme alternative le développement cognitif : pour éviter le dogmatisme et le relativisme éthiques et mesurer le degré de maturité de l'individu, il faut axer la formation sur le processus de production des jugements moraux et non sur les comportements ou le contenu des décisions morales. Notre étude porte sur les fondements philosophiques du formalisme éthique sous-jacent à cette théorie des stades et ses implications sur la formation morale. L'examen de ces questions révèle que si Kohlberg dégage bien le rôle actif du sujet et les conditions de possibilité du raisonnement moral, une formation réduite à l'affinement du sens de la justice ne suffit toutefois pas pour préparer l'individu à agir moralement. Aussi soutenons-nous, en revanche, la nécessité d'une formation intégrale de la personne humaine, seule apte à en faire un agent attentif aux intérêts d'autrui.

Afrikaans text / Die vlak van morele ontwikkeling van wit A:frikaanssprekende, wit Engelssprekende, swart Sotbosprekende, swart Xhosasprekende en swart Zoeloesprekende adolessente seuns en meisies in vroee, middel- en laatadolessensie (12-19 jaar) in Suid-Afrika is afsonderlik, tussenkultureel en vir geslagsverskille asook ouderdomsverskille ondersoek. Moontlike verbande tussen genoemde groepe se vlak van morele ontwikkeling, stedelike/plattelandse woonomgewing, vlak: van identiteitsontwikkeling en lokus van kontrole-orientasie is ondersoek vir kultuur- en geslagsverskille. Wit en swart adolessente redeneer nie in dieselfde mate op die verskillende stadia van morele ontwikkeling nie en bulle openbaar oak verskillende morele ontwikkelingspatrone. Swart adolessente funksioneer betekenisvol meer as wit adolessente op laer stadia van morele redenering terwyl wit adolessente betekenisvol meer as swart adolessente op boer stadia van morele redenering funksioneer. Wit adolessente toon 'n morele ontwikkelings­ patroon ooreenkomstig Westerse waardes en norme wat ooreenstem met Kohlberg se teorie. Swart adolessente toon 'n andersoortige morele ontwikkelingpatroon wat nie ooreenstem met Kohlberg se teorie nie. Met betrekking tot die wit adolessente groep bereik meisies betekenisvolle boer stadia van morele ontwikkeling as seuns. Wat swart adolessente seuns en meisies betreis geen betekenisvolle geslagsverskille ten opsigte van vlak van morele redenering gevind nie. Morele ontwikkeling verloop ooreenkomstig ouderdom in stadia volgens 'n spesifieke patroon. Jonger adolessente funksioneer in 'n grater mate op laer stadia van morele redenering as ouer adolessente terwyl ouer adolessente meer tekens van boer stadia van morele redenering as jonger adolessente toon. Verskille in die morele ontwikkeling van adolessente seuns wat uit 'n stedelike omgewing kom en die wat op die platteland woon bet nie voorgekom nie. Stedelike adolessente meisies funksioneer in 'n grater mate as plattelandse adolessente meisies op boer vlakke van morele ontwikkeling. Ten opsigte van wit adolessente het 'n betekenisvolle verband tussen vlak van morele ontwikkeling en vlak van identiteitsontwikkeling voorgekom. By swart adolessente is sodanige verband nie gevind nie. Geen verband tussen vlak van morele ontwikkeling en lokus van kontrole-orientasie vir wit en swart adolessente in Suid-Afrika is aangetoon nie. Die bevindings is verklaar aan die hand van verskillende tipes sosialisering, sosiokulturele faktore, kultuur-historiese aspekte en adolessente se ontwikkelingkenmerke. / The level of moral development of white Afrikaans speaking, white English speaking, black Sotho speaking, black Xhosa speaking and black Zulu speaking adolescent boys and girls in early, middle and late adolescence {12-19 years) in South Africa was investigated separately, cross-culturally and with regard to gender differences and age differences. Possible relationships between level of moral development and urban/country living environments, level of identity development and locus of control orientation for the above­ mentioned groups were also investigated for cultural and gender differences. White and black adolescents do not reason to the same extent at different stages of moral development and they exhibit different moral developmental patterns. Black adolescents function significantly more than white adolescents at lower stages of moral reasoning while white adolescents function significantly more than black adolescents at higher stages of moral reasoning. White adolescents reveal a moral developmental pattern in line with Western values and norms which corresponds with Kohlberg's theory. Black adolescents reveal a different moral developmental pattern which does not correspond with Kohlberg's theory. With regard to the white adolescent group, girls reach significantly higher stages of moral development than boys. With regard to black adolescent boys and girls, no significant gender differences in level of moral reasoning were found. Moral development takes place in accordance with age in stages according to a specific pattern. Younger adolescents function more at lower moral reasoning stages than older adolescents while older adolescents display more signs of higher moral reasoning stages than younger adolescents. No differences in the moral development of adolescent boys who come from urban environments and those from country districts were found. Girls from urban environments function significantly more than girls from country districts at higher levels of moral development. A significant relationship was found between level of moral development and level of identity development for white adolesceJJtS. No such relationship was found for black adolescents. No relationship between level of moral development and locus of control orientation for white and black adolescents in South Africa was found. The findings were considered in relation to different types of socialisation, socio-cultural factors, culture-historical aspects and adolescent developmental characteristics. / Psychology / D.Litt. et Phil.

This thesis evaluates tragic characters from three representative tragedies, Macbeth, Antigone, and Death of a Salesman, in terms of Lawrence Kohlberg's six stage theory of moral development. A tragic character's moral judgment is described as being founded on universal values and principles which determine stage placement. The tragic situation is precipitated by conflict experienced by a character between his present stage form of evaluation and the more preferred, differentiated and integrated form of the next higher stage. Since Kohlberg's theory is cognitive-developmental with the moral principle of justice emerging autonomously at the stage six level, its application aids in supporting a view of tragedy based on a moral order having justice as its highest principle and on a continuity independent of historical and cultural influence.
