Essay / What is good or bad? - 953
What we consider right or wrong, in our opinion, will ethically determine how we justify the decisions we make as teachers. “Ethical questions concern questions of right and wrong: our duties and obligations, our rights and responsibilities” (Strike, 1988). According to the definition of teaching ethics, there is great room for the individuality of the teacher, but decisions are also made based on the situation of the teaching experience. As Mr. Strike alluded to in his article, each situation should be handled differently by each teacher. However, regardless of the different ethical reasons chosen by the teacher for handling each situation as he did, his individual ethics allow him to justify his decision both to himself and to others. This flaw, in some sense, makes the definition and explanation of ethics in education a somewhat difficult subject to define explicitly. Finally, in explaining the ethics of teaching, you may find more specific and concrete explanations in relation to the teaching profession itself. Instead of focusing only on the individual teacher with vague, broad and individual aspects of ethics. Teachers must be aware of the responsibility that comes from being a teacher and a profession subject to such a high level of ethics.
