The main aim of current research was to compare moral competence between male and female students. Among all elementary
students in Birjand, Iran; 200 students (100 boys and 100 girls) were selected as sample of the research. Both male and female
students responded to Lind's (2006) Moral Judgment Test (= 0.62). The results indicated significant difference between moral
competence in male and female students. But, none of the variables parents' education, and parents' job could significantly
predict the moral competence in students. So, it is necessary to provide relevant moral educational contents and methods
according to developmental needs of both male and female students
