Abstract:

The values are dynamic and historical realities, subject to changes in their ranking, hence still the same forms, modes and manifestations are different, depending on the culture and according to a particular historical moment (González Nieto, 2002, p. 24); this means that oriented and integrated into the individual based on what this one has internalized through socialization and are tied to feelings, attitudes, etc., manifested in behavior (Torrego & Moreno, 2007). This means that values are acquired and learned. The school is an ideal context to teach values, so that the student develops, assertively, moral judgment, and adopt roles and cognitive functions in social interaction (Kohlberg, 1992, Bosello, 1999 & Cortés, 2004) . This autonomy is associated as the moral condition consciousness to guide to act from "doing good by conviction and not by obligation," being acquired, thus maturity. Therefore, values education that contribute to the moral development of a person means favoring autonomous people. Teaching values is to guide the individual to choose freely, in its autonomy, those principles and rules that allow them to behave in a fair and caring towards others and himself. In this paper, the values that teachers think should be integrated into the subject of Social Sciences to be considered: Geography and History in Secondary Education in Spain, specifically in 1st, 2nd and 3rd course.The methodology used in this study is mixed (quantitative and qualitative).
