Educação Moral e Educação para a Cidadania

A Educação Moral e a Educação para a Cidadania implicam na reflexão sobre qual é a sociedade que queremos. É somente a partir dessa definição que se torna possível discutir a contribuição da instituição escolar no processo de transformação social e, por conseguinte a organização de um ambiente pedagógico visando a formação do cidadão enquanto EU inserido num contexto universal propiciando as condições necessárias ao desenvolvimento de pessoas solidárias, fraternas, com capacidade de discutir, questionar, cooperar e transformar o meio em que vive. Ao estabelecer uma relação entre Educação Moral e Educação para a Cidadania estou priorizando, na ação pedagógica, o trabalho com a construção do conceito de cooperação, igualdade e justiça, conceitos estes que permitirão a compreensão e a construção, pelo sujeito, dos princípios éticos subjacentes aos direitos humanos e ao conceito de democracia enquanto pilares da organização de uma sociedade livre, igualitária e justa.

Violence against children and adolescents: awareness and attitudes of Brazilian dentists

Violence against children and adolescents, ranging from negligence to sexual abuse, is an imperative public health problem. The ill treatments are considered as nonaccidental traumas, actions or omissions against children, who suffer physical or emotional violence. The main perpetrators are fathers, mothers, guardians, family, friends or the children‘s primary caretaker. It is very important to identify abuse cases, because this allows proper medical and legal intervention. In Brazil, the law n. 8.069, of July 13, 1990, known as the ECA -Statute for Children and Adolescents (SCA), stipulates the obligation to report suspected or confirmed cases of ill treatment against a child or adolescent to the Guardianship Council of the respective locality. The health professionals play a crucial role with regard to identifying cases of violence, collecting information, making early diagnosis of suspect cases and reporting such cases to the authorities. The dentists can contribute significantly, as most injuries occur in the orofacial region. Bite marks, burns, bruising, among others, are easily identified during a dental consultation. The aim of this work was to verify the awareness and attitudes of Brazilian dentists concerning violence against children and adolescents. This research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Dentistry of Araraquara – São Paulo State University (FOAr – UNESP). Sixty-three dentists answered an open and closed questionnaire concerning their formation, knowledge, experience and attitudes towards ill-treated children and adolescents. Among other results, thirty-nine dentists (61.9%) affirmed to have the means to identify illtreatment cases, 13 (20.6%) reported having some experience on this matter, but only 8 reported the cases to the Council of Guardianship, as determined by Brazilian law. Twenty percent of the reasons presented for not notifying the Council were fear of reprisal, and 60.0% were uncertain concerning the ethical and legal implications. Physical violence was the most reported form of identified violence (76.9%), followed by negligence (38.5%). Among the 13 professionals that had experience with violence cases, in 10 cases the perpetrators were identified – in 70.0% of the cases, the parents were the originators of such violence. It was concluded that further formation and orientation are necessary, in order to prepare dentists to act correctly when, during their professional activities, they encounter cases of violence against children and adolescents.
