O contributo da EMRC para o desenvolvimento das competências pessoais e sociais do PASEO

: uma análise didática e curricular da UL 1 do 8.º ano – o Amor Humano

Abstract

This work will seek to analyse the contribution of the subject of Catholic Moral and Religious Education (EMRC) to the development of personal and social skills presented in the Profile of Students Leaving Mandatory Education (PASEO). The study focuses on Teaching Unit 1 - 8th grade – Human Love – and its influence on interpersonal relationships, personal development and autonomy, as well as on awareness and knowledge of the body. The theoretical approach is based on theological anthropology and the concept of love as a central element in human development and the construction of healthy relationships, articulating it with Christian values and the objectives of PASEO. The didactic and curricular analysis of the selected Teaching Unit will seek to highlight the relevance of EMRC to the full development of students, promoting ethical, moral, social and spiritual values that favor autonomy, responsibility and empathy. The analysis of the 2014 curricula and the 2018 Essential Learning will demonstrate the evolution of the subject regarding contemporary needs. Within the scope of Supervised Teaching Practice (PES), the application of Teaching Unit 1 and its contribution to the growth of students who are more aware and committed to the common good will be examined. The study will also present some improvement proposals to strengthen the impact of the EMRC on the integral training of students.
