Resumo(s)
The present investigation about bioethics in basic education, regarding the 3rd
cycle, had as main objectives to know about the current situation, regarding to
bioethics approach, in basic education and the sensibility of teachers in discussing
these issues in class.
The choice for the basic education is closely related to the importance of the
development of personal and social skills, which should be worked with students
from "early years", in order to promote their assertiveness, to improve analytical
and critical thinking.
Through a brief historical analysis, this study shows the evolution of the
importance given to the personal and social education of students, in which you
may include topics related to bioethics.
The methodology used on the empirical research was based on a questionnaire
survey addressed to teachers.
The investigation allowed us to conclude that teachers are sensible about the
importance of teaching bioethics on basic education, because they believe that it
contributes essentially to the personal and social growth of students. More than
half of respondents stated that they have already discussed bioethical issues in
their classes, even though the majority considers that the students’
knowledge/understanding of bioethics themes can be classified between very poor
and poor.
