PUIG ROVIRA, Josep María  y  GARCIA, Xus Martín. Towards a Curriculum Based on the Education of Values. Folios [online]. 2015, n.41, pp.7-22. ISSN 0123-4870.

Education on values looks for a certain and secure foundation from which to guide, explain and justify the intervention of educators. The critique of modernity questions the superiority that has been given to the theory about educational practice, and poses a new scenario for thinking about education. The article defends the desirability of abandoning securities and absolute truths for the benefit of an education in values starting with the questions of reality, an education that is concerned about helping people to learn how to live. In order to achieve these objectives, we propose a curriculum that is away from fixed contents. Instead, we propose a curriculum that offers a set of moral practices that allow young people to face reality and decide what aspects should be kept and which one will be their contribution to the current situation of society.

Palabras clave : Education; moral practices; citizenship education; moral deliberation; civic virtues.
