A ética na formação docente nos cursos de licenciatura da UESPI – Campus de Parnaíba/PI

Abstract

Ethics in teacher education promotes the development of conduct in future teachers grounded in respect, justice and empathy. This study's main objective was to analyze the process of teacher training at UESPI/PI's undergraduate courses from a socio-historical perspective, in relation to ethics in teacher education. In order to achieve the objective, a survey was carried out on the curriculum flowcharts of UESPI's licentiate degree programs, to verify how the ethical formation of education professionals takes place. From this, it is possible to understand the importance of ethical values in shaping human behavior in educational settings. The approach used was socio-historical. The research method was qualitative and documentary analysis, which aims to analyze a specific subject and collect relevant information. The study showed that the Professor Alexandre Alves de Oliveira Campus - UESPI/Parnaíba, has 7 licentiate courses: Biological Sciences, Social Sciences, Philosophy, History, English Language, Portuguese Language and Pedagogy. Philosophy and Pedagogy are the two degree courses that have a discipline that discusses specific content related to ethics in education. In the Pedagogy course the subject is called Education and Ethics (30h), while in the Philosophy course it is called Ethics (60h), both offered in Block II of the curriculum. Although the other programs don't offer a specific discipline focused on ethics, they all have subjects related to ethical-moral recognition and virtue ethics on their syllabus. Therefore, this analysis has helped us to verify that the licentiate courses at the UESPI/PI campus in Parnaíba are concerned with training teachers based on ethical, philosophical and scientific principles.
