VALBUENA-ESPINOSA, Juan Camilo. Criteria for the analysis and evaluation of cases in moral education. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.2, pp.685-694. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.16203.

The central objective of the article is to propose different criteria for the analysis and evaluation of cases in moral education. The article proposes four criteria: 1) the identification of moral dilemmas that are identified in the narration of the case; 2) the analysis of facts and circumstances; 3) argumentative consistency and 4) the moral justification of the alternatives for moral decisions that students identify. These criteria serve to guide pedagogical processes in the classroom through cases with dilemmas that strengthen the development of students’ moral judgment. Teachers can adopt these criteria for use in their classrooms and to evaluate the performance of their students. The proposed criteria can be implemented in both secondary and higher education.

Keywords : Ethics; method of teaching; case studies; moral education; moral development; moral dilemmas (Thesaurus Unesco).
