The author develops his proposal by understanding the historical flaws and advances in the field of character education. The training, combining cognitive devices and communicative and dramatic skills of these experts, mediators and referents appears, in his view, to be the key element in the current fight for integrity.engGlobethics PublicationsAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/academic integritycharacter educationtheatrical techniquesdramatic skillsMoral reasoning and motivationsProfessional behaviour in the education sectorResearch ethicsBook chapter
