  • Chapter
Changes in Teachers’ Moral Role

Part of the book series: Moral Development and Citizenship Education ((MORA,volume 6))

Abstract

This research aims to develop and implement a curriculum for citizenship education based on the principle that the rules that govern life in a community are the result of a path that begins with the recognition and respect of one’s self and of others. Highlighting the etymology of the term law – relationship, liaison – involves thinking about lawfulness in the context of education for coexistence, giving the educational act its original context: the community. Teaching lawfulness thus becomes civilized coexistence that creates paths for citizenship.
