Abstract
Research into the critical period of Chinese pupils’ moral development is one of the most important parts in the field of moral psychological study. This paper reviews 20-year literature available on the critical period of pupils’ moral development and its instruments to measure it. It also gives details of its inadequate research into pupils’ moral development and then concludes with some conjectures about the future of this field of study.
