Abstract

In today's society, there are researchers in the area of ethics and moral education who consider that the crisis in ethical values has worsened. One hears in the media that these values have been lost, bringing with them an altered coexistence. This situation, in some educational scenarios, is not far from reality. However, it is necessary to clarify that it is not about a loss of values, but about the lack of an education that guides their appropriation and implementation. The purpose of this study is to re-signify the teaching of ethics education in a group of sixth-grade elementary school students through the use of an innovative school environment oriented from the use of educational multimedia. This is a mixed type of research, with descriptive orientation and framed in pre-experimental research or hypothesis testing, in which a collaborative learning website was implemented in which different multimedia resources were used and through the comparison of knowledge about some social, family and school ethical values. It could be demonstrated that the use of multimedia allowed students to achieve significant improvements in their knowledge of these values.
