Abstract

COUTO, Leandra Lúcia Moraes  and  ALENCAR, Heloisa Moulin de. Conception of justice and injustice in Primary School Teachers. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.1, pp. 1-2. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.24879/2017001100100211.

We investigated the conception of justice of primary school teachers. We conducted interviews based on Piaget’s clinical method. We found that the thematic of rights was addressed by participants in all questions and rationale of the study. Moreover, we found few references in relation to equality and fairness. We also find quotes that talk about the opportunity for personal development, trial, and punishment, the appreciation or depreciation of life and profession, among others. Overall, the data show that the conceptions of justice have predominant features of autonomous morality. However, we draw attention to the occurrence of data that reveal the existence of heteronomous moral traits in the teachers’ conception.

Keywords : Psychology of Morality; Moral Education; Justice; Injustice.
