Improving Education in Values in a Spanish Primary Education Center

Abstract

Society is suffering from a crisis of values, and, through the education of children, it is possible to change the course of this crisis. Moreover, during the primary education stage, pupils are in the most sensitive period for internalising and acquiring values. For these reasons, this project presents a proposal for educational intervention, which aims to improve education in values at school, specifically in pupils in the 4th year of primary school. For its preparation, a study of the material published by relevant authors and experts on the subject has been conducted. The opinion of teachers and the predisposition of pupils was also analysed by means of a questionnaire and an observation form. The values addressed in this project are order, work and effort, respect, and solidarity.
