Abstract
This article presents a theoretical and comparative analysis of the contributions of Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, Lawrence Kohlberg, and Peter Senge, with the aim of understanding the formation of moral values and attitudes from a holistic education perspective within educational contexts. Based on a literature review and conceptual analysis, the article examines the convergences and divergences between cognitive-developmental, sociocultural, and organizational approaches, highlighting their complementarity in interpreting moral learning in schools. The results of the analysis show that the construction of values cannot be understood solely as an individual process, but rather as a progressive phenomenon that develops through social interaction, pedagogical mediation, and institutional coherence. Within this framework, Kohlberg's theory of moral development acts as a bridge between Piaget and Vygotsky, while Senge's organizational learning theory broadens the analysis to include school culture and leadership. It is concluded that the articulation of these approaches provides a robust theoretical framework for strengthening values and attitudes education, especially within the context of the Integral Human and Religious Formation promoted by the Dominican Republic's educational curriculum.
