Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present a reflection on the teaching of bioethics and its evaluation in degree and post-graduate courses in the area of health, considering the possible educational objectives of such teaching. The contents, methods, and techniques of teaching must be suitable for the educational stage in which the student is inserted. Theoretical content, the so-called “toolbox” of bioethics, is of particular importance, and should be suitable for the level and objectives of the training. Attention is drawn to the distinction between competence in ethics and moral competence. The study discusses the role of the teacher and the teaching environment in the formation of critical and dialogical thinking.
