How Can We Decide Whether Moral Education Works?
Emler, Nicholas
Journal of Moral Education, v25 n1 p117-26 Mar 1996
Recommends broadening the scope of evaluation in moral education. Argues that past research has relied too heavily on indirect evidence (for example, gains in moral reasoning) rather than changes in behavior. Recommends further emphasis on the relationships among self-control, social control, and moral education. (MJP)
