Can Moral Behavior Be Taught through Cognitive Means?--No
Wallen, Norman E.
Social Education, 41, 4, 329-31, Apr 77
The author argues that moral behavior cannot be developed by instructional strategies that are primarily cognitive in nature. Encouraging students to (1) analyze and clarify their own values and behavior and those of others and (2) evaluate different values and/or solutions to moral problems will not make anyone more moral. (Author/RM)
