摘要:AbstractThis document summarizes the results of a research whose objective was to express some considerations about the formation in values at the mid-superior level. Some proposals about the topic such as Jean Piaget's and Kohlberg's are included extrapolating them in their application to the current times. The design of the investigation was based on a documental analysis and goes from the particular to the general, analyzing the situation in Mexico and the comments made by some international organisms in the field of education about the topic of formation in values in high school education, including also the research results obtained in Mexico. Among the principal discoveries highlighted we include the suggestion to inspect the curriculum in the high school level and to consider the inclusion of formation in values by means of the transversal axis and the integrated curriculum.
