The European Conference on Educational Research 2008 took place in Gothenburg, Sweden from 8-9 September 2008 (Pre-conference) and 10-12 September 2008 (Main Conference).This paper aims to present a collaborative action-research which we are developing in the realm of a PhD project about The Ethic of Responsibility in Citizenship Education. This study is taking place in an Integrated School of the Azores Archipelago, through the active involvement of elementary school teachers of all areas of learning. Considering the needs of this particular educational context, the working out process aims at promoting: - the conceptualization and the re-conceptualization in the domain of Ethics and of Citizenship Education; - the learning to learn of teachers, based in a dynamic of research, in which these professionals critically think their educational practices over and diagnose the main problems and needs; - the innovation of the teaching guides centred in chained intervention plans, meaningful and integrated, and where citizenship becomes an effective experience and a transversal area of the curriculum. Throughout this paper we will discuss the data gathered in this process, analysing and reflecting upon the way the objectives were achieved, and presenting the conceptual information that was being built during the whole process
