MENIN, Maria Suzana de Stefano; BATAGLIA, Patrícia Unger Raphael  and  MOR, Adriano. Adesão ao valor justiça em crianças e adolescentes. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.56, pp.18-47. ISSN 0103-6831.

This search is part of a larger study conducted at the Carlos Chagas Foundation (SP-Brazil), which aims to build a scale to assess adhesion to moral values by basic education students and their teachers. This text addresses only the value of justice. The responses of 111 10-13 year old children and 121 teenagers between 14 and 17 years of age at public and private schools in the city of São Paulo (SP-Brazil) were compared. Among the various topics addressed, some issues of distributive, retributive and commutative justice were selected. In the questionnaire, the alternatives offered were built in increasing stages of decentration from a social perspective inspired by Kohlberg. The results confirmed the two hypotheses that had been raised: there was a progression in the choice of the answers concerning the stages between children and teenagers and there were differences between the three forms of justice considered, in relation to the achievement of higher levels.

Keywords : Justice; Moral; Values; Rating; Scale; Kohlberg.
