Abstract

The purpose of this project was to design a curriculum for teaching moral education in the United States Recruit Training Command. During their eight weeks of training, eighty recruits were exposed to four sessions with the chaplain in which a modified approach to Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of cognitive moral education was used as the educational structure and method. The recruits were pre-tested and post-tested with the Defining Issues Test developed by James R. Rest. Stage levels of moral development were determined in the pre-test and used by the chaplain in lesson preparation. The stage levels were compared with the post-test in an attempt to determine moral development during recruit training. The project has been recommended as an alternative to the present program for character education in the Recruit Training Command, San Diego, California.
