As the area of artificial intelligence (AI) evolves and reaches new spaces, showing itself capable of promoting real changes in the way people interact, solve problems and make decisions, it becomes more urgent to make it predictable, responsible, and reliable. Thus, solutions for the values alignment (VA) in AI have been proposed in recent years. The present study proposes a model of artificial moral pedagogical agents (AMPA), adopting a top-down approach and the classic BDI model. In this article, we describe why the top-down approach is the best approach to educational grounds. Next, we explain in more detail the internal structure of the proposed model. Finally, we present some discussions on the topic and a possible situation in which such an agent could be applicable.
