Abstract

The development of an applied ethics theory to social education in the Spanish context is one of the challenges of social pedagogy. From this premise, the purpose of the study is to analyse some theoretical foundations taken from relevant authors in order to develop the basis of an ethical dimension applicable to socio-educational practices. The Capabilities Approach Theory proposed by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum is analysed throughout this work. Three original works of Sen and Nussbaum and reviews from ethics and education fields of other authors that address the Capabilities Approach were analysed through an inductive coding process using Atlas.ti software. The main results highlight some key elements and helped us to establish some socio-educational principles based on integral development, agency, participation, diversity, and freedom as some basic central axis that assure an ethical socio-educational relationship in compliance with human dignity.
