Abstract
This study developed and validated the Moral Reasoning Questionnaire (MRQ) for elementary students within the MVP Character Education Curriculum. Seven Kohlberg-based dilemmas were piloted with 170 students, analyzed using Rasch modeling. The MRQ showed reliability (α=.70) and construct validity, providing a practical tool for assessing and improving moral reasoning instruction.
