The professional development of teachers in relation to reflective competence in teaching and educational practices appears to be an increasingly pressing concern, particularly when considering the implicit aspects inherent in educational professions. Specifically, focus has been directed towards the teacher’s reflective competence in relation to educational context, particularly in terms of the school moral atmosphere. To achieve this, three distinct teaching methodologies were implemented. These paper aims to present the training tools utilized and the findings of an exploratory investigation designed to assess the level of motivation and engagement expressed by three groups of teachers in training. These groups participated in laboratory experiences guided by different pedagogical approaches: peer discussion (Power et al., 1989), experiential learning (Kolb, 1984; Beard, 2022), and Philosophy for Community (Lipman, 2015).
