The purpose of this research is to investigate how high school teachers
from a public school in the city of Rio de Janeiro perceive and react when they are
faced with prejudice or discriminatory behavior among students. This research
also intended to grasp which conceptions of morality serve as a basis for the
teachers actions, either implicitly or explicitly. By using the connection between
regulative conceptions of justice and happiness that are present in Kant and
Aristotle s work, and considering that these concepts are usually seen in an
excluding way, this research suggests the possibility of these concepts
complementing each other ,as well as being mutually connected. As for the
methodological choices, the research involved on extensive literature review
along with fieldwork and semi- structured interviews with 17 teachers, who
volunteered. One result of the research that is important to highlight is that the
types of prejudice and discrimination that were most perceived by the teachers
were related to sexual orientation, racial and ethnic diversity. On the other hand,
the least noted were related to religion, cognitive difference, physical appearance
and place of origin. Referring to the actions taken by these teachers while facing
this discriminatory behavior, the majority mentioned that they would firmly
oppose them, however the fieldwork showed that some teachers don t notice this
behavior, or seem to ignore the suffering some students are exposed to. Maybe
due to the limits of the chosen method, the research couldn t explicit the
articulation between the concepts for justice and happiness, as well as their
conceptions of morality. However, it was observed that when the teachers were
faced with situations in which an urgent decision was required, they prioritized
justice at the expense of happiness. Finally, the research pointed out that there are
still limits in teaching education, training and formation with regard to the
prejudice and discrimination that take place at school.
