Philosophy for children: A challenge for ethical and values education

Abstract

This research is based on Colombia's need to develop critical thinking, mainly in primary basic education children, in response to the growing problem of school conflicts in and out of the classroom. This can be addressed from the implementation of Philosophy for Children (FpN), because from the analysis of everyday situations, some of them turned into anecdotes, the teacher promotes thinking skills that argue them and get them through the nuance of criticism. This process can be articulated with the innovations that both Colombian legislation and contemporary education aim, generating awareness in the student of solutions by the concerted way, reaching agreements and conciliations to approach the Conflict.
