Values and Education

It is essential to highlight the school as a space for human development, without disregarding other formative spaces in society. Therefore, it is necessary that values be rethought in pedagogical proposals and educational practices, as schools are characterised as institutions where human relationships are developed. Values are revealed in educational processes, in the actions of individuals, in culture, and in everyday school life. Given this whole scenario, i.e., the configuration of society as it stands, cultural and social transformations, and the analysis of a Pedagogical Political Project that reveals a commitment to the integral formation of human beings, it is correct to say that the school institution is a space that should educate for values, with the purpose, according to Scheler, of discovering them in the experience lived in the socio-cultural context. Similarly, it should value them as essential to life in society.
