Ethical and Values Education to Strengthen School Coexistence Processes

Abstract

This research is based on reflection in the field of ethics in order to identify what considerations should be taken into account in this area to strengthen coexistence processes in school educational environments. For this purpose, an analysis is proposed that resorts to theoretical references, normative or prescriptive perspectives and pedagogical narratives.For the development of this research, a qualitative approach is proposed and within the framework of the same type of narrative research from a hermeneutic perspective that involves the collection of information through narratives that have representations of different members of the school academic community about their experiences and educational perceptions related to the subject of ethics and values education, school coexistence and the curriculum in school environments. For this purpose, individual structured interviews will be used as inputs for the development of the research.Among the findings, the relevance of teachers and principals as pedagogical mediators and managers of strategies that favor not only ethics and values education but also school coexistence is highlighted. Likewise, the role of parents is highlighted as fundamental and necessary to achieve a real and greater impact of the pedagogical strategies developed at school. Finally, it is identified that curricular configurations should promote dynamics of transversalization, linkage of the academic community in a broad sense, intentional educational projects and uses and adaptations of the legal and prescriptive tools offered by the State.
