"Since 2018, moral education has changed in Japan. Specifically, the focus has shifted from emotional understanding, to thinking and deliberating. Consequently, it is important to consider the development of morality as well as the development of the ability to deliberate and think. However, in Japan, not many studies have been conducted on the development of the ability to think and deliberate among the elementary and junior high school students. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine communication skills and moral development in elementary and middle school students. The results revealed that while communication skills decreased as the students got older, their morality increased. No gender differences in moral development between males and females from the sixth grade of elementary school to the ninth grade of middle school. Based on these results, the implications for moral lessons that focus on thinking and deliberating are provided."
