The logo of the journal is a wheel, a symbol that wants to evoke several ideas: creativity and forward motion, the wisdom eye that enters into the knowledge of reality, the sun that radiates knowledge and makes ideas shine more clearly, as well as the globe, the sign of an education that is interested in the society where it belongs. This symbol, together with some other figures, is represented in the famous picture painted by Raphael entitled “the School of Athens”, in recognition of one of the most important moments of Pedagogy.
The Home page includes a summary of the articles published in the last number of the Journal .

To have democratic and pluralistic societies we need some values,
rights and attitudes to improve our living together. We assume the
dignity of every one as human being and so that we relate our text to
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But those are not enough. We
need to be involved, to participate and have duties and
responsibilities in our society. In this context, the school system has
to take into account all these considerations to have citizens where
their rights are respected and are able to have responsibilities and
trained to assume those duties. Miquel Martínez i Martín y Elena Noguera i Pigem Key words: Human Rights, Moral education, Education in values, Tolerance, Dignity, Duties. |
