Kohlberg´s theory of moral development

Dear students, 

in teacher's practice you need to understand not only social or cognitive aspects of the child. It is also necessary to know its moral development. Only then teacher can adequately cultivate and develop the pupil's personality. One of the most influential and well-known theories in this area is the theory of Lawrence Kohlberg. We recommend study it thoroughly and master it as good as possible.
