Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the moral maturity levels of the Imam Hatip High School students.

The '' Moral Maturity Scale '' developed by Şengün and Kaya (2007) and the '' personal information form '' created by the researcher were used as data collection tools in the study.

As a result of the study, it was determined that 55 % of the Imam Hatip High School students had a moral maturity level above the average. In addition, gender, class level, and place they stayed did not make a significant difference on the level of moral maturity.
