Abstract

The main idea in this article is that both education and educators should contribute to the formation of values through the generation of spaces for dialogue and consensus in order to practice critical reflection, tolerance, and respect in situations that students face every day. It is argued that the functionalist-traditional approach that characterizes education at present hinders the formation of values since it does not foster critical reflection for independent decision-making and action. Primarily based on Graham Hayon’s work, this article presents some ideas related to values and morals. Furthermore, it is proposed that values and morals should be part of the learning process through dialogue and consensus in order to deal with conflict.
