Abstract

At the 2010 RSHI annual meeting, I presented “The Axiological Process for Making Good Students in the University Context” (Carrasco, 2011), in which I showed, among other things, how to disseminate successful and rapidly the foundations of formal axiology applied to human development and quality to a whole generation of freshmen at a university. One of the critical success factors was the training of teachers. Another challenge was to extend this experience to elementary schools in order to impact more teachers, more children, and younger teens with Hartmanian ideas of Goodness. In this paper, I share our experience in teaching Formal Axiology to Federal Junior High School directors and Special Education directors, teachers, psychologists and social workers in Morelos, México.
