Description
Summary:New ideas and methodologies need to be developed to advance our knowledge in the understanding of moral development. The intertwined nature of human activities, communication processes, and the numerous aspects of morality pose a challenge to researchers to construct a methodology that takes into account cognition, affect, sociocultural processes and characteristics, as well as the active role of individuals in their own development. In this paper we aim at suggesting fresh theoretical ideas and a micro genetic methodology to study moral development, particularly within educational contexts. === Se parte de la importancia del desarrollo de nueva ideas y metodologías que posibiliten elavance en la interpretación científica del desarrollo moral. La relación entre la ctividad humana, los procesos de comunicación y las cuestiones de moralidad, colocan a los investigadores frente al desafío de desarrollar un abordaje metodológico del desarrollo moral a partir de un enfoque que considere los aspectos cognitivos, afectivos y socioculturales, así como el papel activo de la persona en su proceso de desarrollo. A partir de esas ideas, nuestro objetivo es proponer el análisis microgenético para el estudio del desarrollo moral, tanto desde el punto de vista teórico como metodológico, en el contexto educacional.
