Abstract
Impelled by the problems of corruption and dishonesty experienced in our country, the intention of this paper is to discuss the reasons that lead the human being to such behavior and the possible ways to mitigate this conduct. We chose the honesty value to be the object of research and describe the contributions of this moral value in the construction of autonomy and in the formation of the Child character. We conducted an analysis based on the psychogenetic perspective, addressing the main aspects of moral development, according to Piaget (1932/1994), and other theorists who investigated how honesty can be rationally taught and built in a cooperative and democratic way. The intervention research with a qualitative approach was applied in the initial years, containing three phases: (1) Pre-test, (2) Intervention Program and (3) Post-test. The results showed that, after the intervention program, the children disapproved of dishonesty and associated their conceptions with several immoral aspects already known, such as: theft, cheating and lying.
