LINS, Maria Judith Sucupira da Costa. Maturidade ética e identidade moral: a construção na prática pedagógica. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2009, vol.09, n.28, pp.633-649. ISSN 1981-416X.
This article focuses the problem of educating a person for Ethical Maturity and Moral Identity. Ethical Maturity concerns to the point a person can understand values and act according to them. Moral Identity defines a person who knows who he or she is and acts according to this consciousness. Both Ethical Maturity and Moral Identity are not natural gifts and because of this, they must be developed through Education. Schools should think about Moral Education programs in students’ curriculum in order to provide them the opportunity to construct these two categories. It can be said that there is Moral Identity when a person rules her or his life upon moral values. Moral Identity reveals that a person has developed ethical maturity.
