Abstract

T. HALL, Robert. Casuistics as pedagogy to teach Bioethics. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2017, vol.39, suppl.1, pp. 813-820. ISSN 1684-1824.

Even though most of the teaching-learning educative processes in Medicine should follow a methodology and are ruled by Didactics, this is not always right from the Bioethics point of view. The purpose of the education in bioethics is the development of taking-decisions skills, not only in the domains of knowledge and learning. Taking decisions requires practice in allowing for several considerations, not in a deductive way, but from a personal perspective. Therefore, the authors of this article consider that casuistics, as methodology of Bioethics pedagogy, is more appropriated than principialism. It is included here a brief introduction to casuistic pedagogy.

Keywords : Pedagogy; Bioethics; casuistics; decisions taking.
