ABSTRACT Study derived from the research Avaliando valores em escolares e seus professores: uma proposta de construção de uma escala. It intends to evaluate teachers’ professional identity insofar as the values they set as prioritary are concerned. The methodology comprises both a values form and a profile form filled in by approximately 300 working teachers of junior high schools and high schools, in public and private schools of Sao Paulo, in order to evaluate the level of presence and commitment to values of justice, respect, solidarity and democratic coexistence, thus involving teachers’ identity variables and proposing possible interventions. The results show teachers to be committed to values at a level equivalent to the post-conventional stage of the Kohlbergian theory, possibly demonstrating that values are central constructs in their professional practice.

Keywords : Moral Values; Faculty Professionalization; Kohlberg; Professional Identity.
