Abstract

SOUZA, Luciana Karine de. Moral dilemmas debate in the university. Psicol. esc. educ. [online]. 2008, vol.12, n.1, pp.169-183. ISSN 1413-8557.

This study presents some ideas about the use of moral dilemma discussions technique and the preparation of semi-real dilemmas, in Psychology undergraduates. The use of dilemma discussion technique in an educative context, such as the university, may offer some advance as in regard to the contents studied, as well as to the students' life experiences. It is expected that this study contribute to the understanding of the application of the moral dilemma discussion technique as a didactic resource in courses about themes alike, such as moral development and ethics. Above all one expects that a new opportunity for reasoning about the practice of Psychology as a profession opens up to undergraduates.

Keywords : Moral development; Ethics; Dilemma.
