Actitudes de los Docentes de educación básica media, frente al desarrollo moral de sus estudiantes: Análisis comparativo entre la escuela fiscal Emiliano Ortega Espinoza y la escuela católica Nuestra Señora del Rosario en la ciudad de Catamayo provincia de Loja

Abstract

The present investigation shows the attitudes of two groups of teachers of different school context, compared to the moral development of students of basic secondary education, to analyze if there is a greater predisposition to moral development in a school environment than in another. For this, a descriptive type research was carried out. The first group of participants consisted of fourteen teachers from a fiscal educational institution, and; the second group was represented by sixteen teachers from a fiscomisional educational institution. A questionnaire of thirty-three affirmations with criteria on moral development and on a Likert scale was used, which were organized into three levels: Cognitive, Affective and Motivational. The results obtained show that the group of teachers of the Catholic school obtain a higher level of positive attitudes towards the moral development of their students, than the group of teachers of the fiscal school. From In Situ observation, the school environment of the Catholic school suggests an important formative effect in the moral-evaluative component.
