مستخلص: This paper describes the developmental approach to moral education guided by the view that the student is an active constructor of knowledge who progresses through a succession of increasing psychologically and philosophically robust stages of moral reasoning. The developmental approach to moral education attempts to avoid the arbitrary norms of society and naturalistic fallacy by coordinating philosophical principles of human actions and values with the facts of natural stage growth. Teaching strategies used when discussing moral, ethical, and science-technology-society (STS) issues need to be consistent with the moral growth stages of their students so that meaningful learning will occur. The strategies for using moral dilemmas and STS vignettes and an illustrative sample moral dilemma are included. A table illustrating Kohlberg's Moral Stages of Reasoning is attached. (KR)
