Résumé

Moral discussion is at the heart of moral education, much of which is derived from the cognitive-developmental school of psychology. Much of the literature on moral education is based on the psychological research emanating from that theoretical model. In this paper, the relationship of that research to moral discussion will be examined. A critical review of the research as well as the educational prescriptions derived from it will highlight one particularly controversial aspect of moral discussion, i.e. , “the I" convention . Conclusions and revisions will be presented based on the foregoing analysis.
