中间概念测量的历史嬗变与开新

History and Development of Intermediate Concept Measure

20世纪80年代以来,后科尔伯格道德认知发展理论如雨后春笋般涌现,其中以莱斯特为代表的道德发展理论对科尔伯格的阶段理论提出挑战,用四成分模型取代了科氏的单一模型,并提出了中间概念测量(ICM),将道德认知研究的出发点从抽象道德原则的测量,演变为对从事特定职业群体的具体道德原则的测量,弥补了科尔伯格阶段理论中缺乏对人们具体道德认知、情绪和行为进行测验和指导的不足。借鉴和思考西方道德教育的新理论、新方法,对推动我国道德教育的实效性和生态合理性具有重要的学术价值。

Ever since 1980s, there have been a lot of Post-Kohlbergian cognitive theories, among which Rest’s developmental theory stands out. It challenges Kohlberg’s stage theory by putting forward Four Component Model and ICM. It not only overcomes the shortcomings of Kohlbergian theory which lacks specific instructions in one’s moral behaviors, but also changes the starting point of moral cognition research from the assessment of abstract moral principles to that of specific assessment of the moral principles of particular occupational groups. Introducing and learning the new findings in Western moral education is of great academic value in promoting the efficacy and ecological reasonability of moral education in modern China.
