"Lawrence Kohlberg's Approach to Moral Education" presents what the late Lawrence Kohlberg regarded as the definitive statement of his educational theory. Addressing the sociology and social psychology of schooling, the authors propose that school culture become the center of moral education and research. They discuss how schools can develop as just and cohesive communities by involving students in democracy, and they focus on the moral decisions teachers and students face as they democratically resolve problems. As the authors put it: .,."we propose an educational renewal of our democratic society.... We have attempted to establish schools that do more than just teach about democratic citizenship, that are themselves democratic societies."

Not what I thought it would be,

This review is from: Lawrence Kohlberg's Approach to Moral Education (Critical Assessments of Contemporary Psychology) (Paperback)
I bought this book in hopes of getting an overview of Kohlberg's Moral Development theory. While there is a brief discussion about his initial work and theoretical basis, this book lacks content in this area. The majoity of the text explores the ways in which Kohlberg and his collegues designed a Moral Education program in a school. If this information is of interest to you than I will assume you will have a different experience with this book than me.

the Just Community Theory,
By
This review is from: Lawrence Kohlberg's Approach to Moral Education (Critical Assessments of Contemporary Psychology) (Paperback)
This book is a review of the implementation of Kohlberg's six stages of moral development and his desire to put theory into practice. The reader learns about Kohlberg's journey from a theoretical idea of the six stages to a practical usage of the idea. A new concept emerged and that is the theory of the just community. In a just community, students and teachers are equals and they use the forum of school to discuss real-life moral dilemmas in order to further the students' moral reasoning.The book itself focuses on the implementations (as done by Kohlberg and his colleagues). The other important thing to keep in mind about this book is that it is practically the only place, in print, where the reader can find information about the just community directly from Kohlberg's words.
