Ética e educação: uma troca de experiências na visão de alunos do 3º ano de escola pública

Abstract

This Course Completion Work has the general objective of analyzing the different concepts of Ethics and Morals in society. Its specific objectives are: to investigate the concepts of morals, values, customs, fair and unfair, right and wrong, in the conception of students from the high school graduating class in a public school in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul; an online questionnaire was applied via Google Forms in order to raise the most varied understandings and understandings of students about the concepts that permeate ethics and morals. In this case, the subject was approached from the point of view of the narrator (narrator). Conversations and debates were held on concepts linked to Ethics and Morals. In the dialogue opportunities, the following reflections were made: What would you like to tell about the ethical and moral experience? What was the learning in these fields? What challenges did the student encounter during the development of their moral training? What did you like most and what did you least like about the questions? As a student and teacher, how would you behave in the face of ethical dilemmas presented? By seeking answers to such concerns, it was possible to raise their views on values and everyday experience. Another topic addressed on the occasion was the understanding of freedom (free will). Within the scope of everyday experiences, the concept of freedom has been understood as: possibility of self-determination; possibility of school; voluntary act; spontaneity; absence of interference; fulfillment of a need. From an early age, man gets used to conceiving all things in the form of opposition expressed in yes and no. Free will is in itself indifferent: the possibility of choosing between opposing acts manifests the perfect indifference of the will to any possible motivation. In fact, it was noticed in the conversations with the students that what matters is not the fair, precise and opportune choice between possible options, but only the possibility of choosing indifferently and contingently. The reasons and objectives of an action are, commonly, subjective. Regarding the conversation circles, we can say that they were moments of analysis of the most contexts of Ethics and Morals in society. Permeating the concepts of Morals, values, customs, fair and unfair, right and wrong, in the conception of students of a 3rd year group of High School Gaucho in a public school in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul. Thinking, above all, about how each of them implements such concepts in their daily lives. The growing social problems and the escalation of news that foment moral debates, were the basis for this research. And, consequently, the realization of this material. In this way, the class was invited to participate in the final activity of general debate and explanation of results in the school auditorium. The methodology is based on a research with a qualitative approach with a descriptive research. There are therefore some questions to be answered: What are the limits of freedom? Are right and wrongacquired or are they in the essence of the individual? To what extent is the family responsible in the process of forming the citizen's character?
