From this finding, the interest in knowing how its teaching occurs and assists the professional education of undergraduate students in Public Administration in Brazil emerged. For that, we developed a document research in the Pedagogical Projects of Courses (PPC) of the Public Field. Based on selection criteria, 15 PPC were included in the study. The undergraduate programs of the Public Field, guided by the republican and democratic ethos, should reproduce this fundamental principle in all teaching-learning processes and this was observed when analyzing the PPC, through the analysis categories of the curricular matrix, syllabuses of the courses and graduate profile. We verified that in most projects there is a search for the insertion of the discussion of ethical, critical and reflexive action both during the program and in the professional practice. Regarding ethics teaching, we believe that as the theme gains strength in the analysis of organizations, it might lead administrators to develop/adopt a more reflexive, critical and socially responsible position.<p> </p>}, journal={Education Policy Analysis Archives}, author={Santos, Laís Silveira and Serafim, Mauricio C. and Zappellini, Marcello Beckert and Zappellini, Silvia Maria Knabben Corrêa and Borges, Martha Kaschny}, year={2018}, month={Feb.}, pages={18} }
