Abstract
The study aimed to compare the moral development of students of two major sectors of education. It was a casual comparative retrospective research with the 3x2 factorial design. The stratified sample comprised 900 students of 5- 16 years boys and girls of urban and rural areas of District Lahore, from Private schools and Madrasahs. The Researchers used Moral Development Interview Inventory (MDII) for data collection. The data were analysed by t-test and ANOVA for finding the significant mean differences among groups. The analysis of data revealed the significant increase in the morality on every age level of students of both private and Madrasah sectors. The results showed that the students of private schools had better moral development than that of Madrasah students during three age stages of early childhood, childhood and adolescence. The study infers that the difference might have occurred due to the difference in the institutional atmosphere, socioeconomic status of students and the curricular activities in both sectors. It is concluded that Madrasah students, especially the Hifz students were not provided awareness about moral rules and norms. The sole focus was on the memorization of the content so they showed less moral development than that of Private school students. It is suggested that students of Madrasah should be provided translation of Quran and comprehension and practice of Hadith through interactive learning activities.
