Abstract
A series of situations of moral and conventional transgression was presented to 72 participants from grades 3 (age 7-10), 6 (age 11-13), and 9 (age 14-16), as well as to a group of teachers (age 24-65) of a public school in Bogota. For every situation of transgression, there were five possible responses, whose appropriateness was scored by the participants. The results show that inadequate responses regarding moral transgressions were given a higher score by a great number of participants. These findings suggest that there is a significant incoherence in educational responses to moral transgressions and a predominance of conventional regulations that hinder moral understanding.
