Twenty-two preservice social studies teachers were given background information on Kohlberg's theory of and education program for moral development. Next, the preservice teachers were trained to use one of the rater guides (Heinz Dilemma) in Kohlberg's new Issue Stage Scoring system. Afterwards, the preservice teachers intuitively stage scored 40 moral thought statements and then rater guide stage scored the same 40 moral thought statements. Results of analysis of variance tests indicated no overall differences between intuitive and rater guide stage scoring. These analyses also indicated, however, that the preservice teachers were invalidly stage scoring on the basis of content rather than structure of moral thought. Finally, neither logical nor moral reasoning ability correlated with either intuitive or rater guide stage scoring ability. The major implication of the findings is that teachers should not try to stage score moral thought statements because training programs, scoring systems, and rater guides thus far developed are ineffective for teachers
