Abstract

This article presents a bibliographical research about ethical competence in school environment. We started from the concept of ethics as wisdom towards daily interactions with oneself and with the world. We considered epistemological orientation as determinative on ethical relations and it discusses it based on two cores: the first understands human being determined by the environment; the second conceives the human being as a world and itself constructor. We conclude that beliefs in environment power promotes the ethical spirit based on standardization. On the other hand, the perspective towards the subject, ethical competence arises, as it does not belong to the universe of teaching matters, but as something that can be learned by doing it, valuing attentive look trying to see and understand the world.
