The Fable: A Pedagogical Resource for Teaching of Values

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to argue the role of reading and analyzing the fables: a pedagogical resource in the teaching of values. In order to achieve this objective, the following topics related to the fable have been designed: characteristics, types, didactic values ​​and structure. On the other hand, students are currently immersed in the Informations and Communications Technologies (ICTs) looking for distraction, entertainment, hobby, etc., in order to satisfy their trivial, negative and vulgar needs. His preference is for internet browsing rather than opening the pages of a book and educating himself. It is evident that, in addition to the lack of information, communication, education, culture and reflection, the values ​​necessary for comprehensive education are being lost. Therefore, the readings and analysis of the fables as a didactic strategy constitute a pedagogical resource for the teaching of values, in a dynamic and fun way, allowing the story to act as a mediator during the teaching-learning process.
