DALBOSCO, Claudio Almir; CEZAR, Luciana Oltramari  e  RIZZI, Luciana Maria Schmidt. Moral education in the young Piaget: student’s active position and formative mediation of the educator. Conjectura: filos. e Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.28, e023015. ISSN 2178-4612.  https://doi.org/10.18226/21784612.v28.e023015.

This essay seeks to investigate the idea of moral education defended by Jean Piaget in his conference entitled “The procedures of moral education”, given in Paris, in the year of 1930. It focuses on reconstructing the central core presented by the author, that is, the tension between double morality and the ambiguity between heteronomy and autonomy that constitutes child morality and is based on opposing feelings of respect, one-sidedness and reciprocity. It also deals with confronting the typical procedures of traditional education with the procedures typical of progressive education that drive the student's active position to build aspects of the internalization of the law and the possibility of relations of cooperation and respect for the other in coexistence groups, especially during childhood. It highlights the necessary presence of the adult, as the one who plays the role of mediation in the relationship between him, the child and the world, especially the teacher in early childhood education through the understanding of the psychological domain of childhood, to think about why the child acts, how she acts and the way she acts. Finally, it concludes by trying to show the relevance of this reflection of the young Piaget for our days, even if almost a century has passed, revealing the importance of rereading the classics for reflection, understanding and intervention in current educational problems. It criticism of the authoritarianism inherent in the particular conception of moral education also serves as a resistance to the current authoritarian conservatism and, at the same time, to reestablish the cooperative and solidary bonds provided by the broad tradition of autonomous moral education, offering the intellectual and psychological conditions necessary for the healthy development and autonomous entry into adult society.
