Abstract

This thesis aimed to analyze teaching practices in ethics education in the early years of elementary education in public schools, specifically characterizing the conceptions of ethics that guide the teaching practices in elementary school, as well as checking the practices that mediate teaching ethics from the perspective of teachers and identifying the main challenges in the ethics of teaching in the school context. For this, the research was conducted in two public schools in the public education network in the city of Barro - CE, with five teachers in the early years of elementary school. Research with qualitative approach, had as a tool for development a semi-structured interview, counting an average of six questions, so in order to reach the proposed goals. From the data analysis, it was found that ethics is conceived as a value, that is, ethics is related to human values, and respect is the value associated with ethics more effectively. This design makes the most of the teaching practices that mediate the ethical teaching is constituted with work in promoting respect. In a perspective of ethics more normative and moral character, pedagogical practices are carried out seeking to regulate the conduct of students to try to ensure the proper functioning of the school space. The effectiveness of these practices happen in a comprehensive and interdisciplinary manner, with a view that ethics is present in all subjects and in all situations in the classroom. However, the proposal of Transversal themes contained in the National Curriculum Parameters does not exercise effective power orientation to pedagogical practices with the didactic work with the ethical issue of education. As for the prospects and challenges with this teaching in the school context are made, for example, the growth of the student in terms of respect, unity and behavior as well as the professional and personal growth of the teacher himself. Lack of family support is emphasized on the need to strengthen the teaching practices, and that conceives the school education act only as a part or complement the student's education. The experience of individualism in the present day is also highlighted and seen as challenging factor in teaching on the subject of ethics. In this context, we consider that ethics is present in all human activities and all social spaces in which the subject is inserted. The school as a social institution is one of those formative spaces of the human being, and that can and should significantly effect by teaching action an educational work covering ethics didactically in everyday classrooms.
