Abstract(s)
Education in values develops in the family, in schools and in society in general, through human coexistence and interpersonal relationships. The problem of education for values constitutes a transversal theme across the curricular areas of the 1st Cycle of Basic Education In the education for values in students' compulsory education is contributing to their formation as people and citizens. The study is part of the Cross-Border Project ‘Emotional Intelligence Program in students from the 1st CEB Castelo Branco region: Developing social/emotional skills 2012-2017’ (Protocol between the Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco and the Extremadura University - Faculty of Education of Badajoz). The research problem was the following: What is the hierarchy and valuation made by 1st year students (ages between 6-7 years old) of the 1st CEB of an urban basic school in the Portuguese city of Castelo Branco on the values analyzed and shown in prints/images, during the implementation of an Intervention Program to train for citizenship? The objectives underlying the problem were: knowing and identifying values; valuing values hierarchically; recognize values and countervalues through prints/images; identify the essential values to be an active citizen; assign values to others through school coexistence; promote positive attitudes and values (thoughts, habits). The investigation was qualitative in nature, with action research methodology, in a 1st year class of the 1st CEB (N=18) of a basic school belonging to the School Group (designated -AENACB), in the city of Castelo Branco, in the region from the interior of Portugal, in the 2021-22 academic year. We comply with the principles of protocol, ethical and legal standards and procedures for applying techniques. As part of action research, we developed an intervention program ‘Educating Values’ within the scope of citizenship training. In this Program we considered interpersonal and social relationships, school and community life, the right and duty to participate and live in society with others (social coexistence, civic habits and citizenship). We wanted to know the appreciation and prioritization of current values by students, the distinction between values and countervalues and the citizen's valuing attribution.
