Abstract	Because of widespread acceptance of Kohlberg's theory of moral development other aspects of moral thinking and behavior linked with the feminine voice have not received attention. Four areas of Kohlberg's theory relevant to the gender issue are critiqued, and work by Carol Gilligan, suggesting alternative theories for thinking and behavior, is analyzed, compared, and contrasted. Historically when developing curriculum, educators have emphasized modes of thinking which are linked with masculine ideals, in a manner compatible with Kohlberg's theory of moral development. However, applications of Gilligan's model of moral development need to be developed and applied. Specifically a model of moral development that encompasses a broader view and one that includes the feminine voice is needed. A model of decision making that could be used for curricular planning contains the following components: moral sensitivity, moral judgment, moral decision making, and moral action. (APG)
