Abstract

In this paper the authors explore the development of moral reasoning as it relates to ideologies regarding social change. Guided by Kohlberg's stage theory of morality and Rawls's theory of justice the authors predict social change on the basis of ideological development and examine how moral reasoning is related to ideological awareness. Through the analysis of a specific project, funded to promote sex equity in educational administration, the authors explain their concept of ideological development, provide an example of their methodology, and discuss the implications of their framework.
