Abstract:
Ethics is always a fundamental issue in Psychology as a profession: it guides decisions and actions in all fields, being the core of profession itself. Teaching professional ethics in our contemporary society, incorporating the questioning of modern and permanent questions in a conscious, responsible and yet interesting approach, beyond educational fads, is a challenge we must address, implicating students from the very beginning. Using active methodologies and realistic situations help fill the gap between theories, ethical codes and everyday situations, and their critical employment prepare students to deal with daily ethical problems, helping to promote human rights consciousness.Keywords: ethics in psychology; active methodologies in teaching psychology; PBL; teaching ethics and human rights
