Literacy and ethics: a interdisciplinary work of teachers and students training

Abstract

Working about the theme of Ethics proposed by the National Curriculum Standards (1997) is essential for the development of autonomy of children and adolescents. However, learning difficulties especially in the public education system, impose educational practices focused on reading, writing and basic calculations at the expense of the reality of the problems of school communities. When schools decide to develop projects on the relations of disrespect and the type of image that children build themselves and the "other", the History area now takes on the job training. This paper discusses an experience lived by teachers and students of the early years of elementary school, in which literacy and ethics were constituted as axes for the development of a project training/teaching activities and students.
