Principios de justicia distributiva en trabajos experimentales con niños
Principles of Distributive Justice in Experimental Work with Children
Princípios de justiça distributiva no trabalho experimental com crianças
Abstract (en)
Experimental work aimed at examining principles of distributive justice in children can be interpreted as an effort to present methodologies that confirm the recognition and practice of these principles at increasingly early ages. The critical reading of sources implied by the review of specialized literature showed the possibility of classifying experimental studies with children into four periods. The first one corresponds to the contributions made by Piaget, Kohlberg, and Damon. Subsequently, findings in middle childhood are examined. Regarding early childhood, it has been observed that studies are divided into those examining preschool-aged children and those involving two-year-old infants. The overview shows that the discussion of experimental studies with the works of precursors is focused on identifying the principles at earlier ages.
Abstract (es)
Los trabajos experimentales que tienen por objeto examinar principios de justicia distributiva en niños pueden ser leídos como el esfuerzo por presentar metodologías en las que se constata el reconocimiento y la práctica de los principios a edades cada vez más tempranas. La lectura crítica de fuentes implicada por la revisión de la literatura especializada mostró la posibilidad de clasificar los estudios experimentales con niños en cuatro periodos. El primero asiste a las contribuciones efectuadas por Piaget, Kohlberg y Damon. Posteriormente, se examinan los hallazgos en la infancia media. Con respecto a la primera infancia, se ha detectado que los estudios se dividen en los que examinan niños de edad preescolar y los que cuentan con participantes bebés de dos años de vida. El recorrido muestra que la discusión de los estudios experimentales con los trabajos de los precursores está centrado en identificar los principios a edades más tempranas.
Abstract (pt)
O trabalho experimental com o objetivo de examinar os princípios de justiça distributiva com crianças pode ser lido como um esforço para apresentar metodologias em que se observam o reconhecimento e a prática dos princípios em idades cada vez menores. A leitura crítica das fontes implicada pela revisão da literatura especializada mostrou a possibilidade de classificar os estudos experimentais com crianças em quatro períodos. O primeiro diz respeito às contribuições feitas por Piaget, Kohlberg e Damon. Em seguida, são examinadas as descobertas na meia infância. Com relação à primeira infância, verificou-se que os estudos estão divididos entre aqueles que examinam crianças em idade pré-escolar e aqueles com participantes de dois anos de idade. O panorama mostra que a discussão de estudos experimentais com trabalhos precursores se concentra na identificação de princípios em idades mais precoces.
