Moral Development

Stages of Moral Development

In-depth article exploring and evaluating Lawrence Kohlberg’s groundbreaking model in the context of Integrated SocioPsychology

These pages address the application of Integrated SocioPsychology to the processes of learning and developmental issues such as intelligence, cognitive development and moral development. The effects of Day Care on child development are considered and the purposes and systems of formal education outlined and investigated from various perspectives. More immediately-topical observations can be found in the Blog.

An integrated approach to schools and other learning establishments is necessary if they are to be safe environments conducive to learning and where all the needs of all learners are met.

The ‘Features’ contain material that is explicitly developed from the Integrated SocioPsychology concept. Material in the other sections is based on standard Psychology and Sociology academic specifications and has an Integrated SocioPsychology elaboration applied where appropriate.

Those who support the Integrated approach and are interested in such matters are invited to submit pieces for publication here as 'guest features' or 'guest reports'. Please get in touch with your ideas via the Contact page.
