Professionalism as a Moral Code of Secondary School Teachers

Abstract

Teachers are given a moral code and expected to follow the ethics while working in institutions. Monitoring authorities are responsible for observing the school teachers’ enactment of the professional code and take action against delinquents. The present study investigates professionalism as a moral code of secondary school teachers by a survey of their perceptions. A questionnaire and observation sheet were used as data collection tools. The sample of the study was forty schools and 120 teachers from Bahawalpur District in Pakistan chosen through multistage sampling. Results through mean comparison using a paired t- test indicated that the majority of teachers had insight about professionalism but did not practice it. It is therefore recommended that education departments should utilize this aspect in their teachers and deploy special mechanisms for the practice of professionalism.

Research on the construction and practice of the evaluation system of teachers’ morality in colleges and universities based on statistical analysis method

“…Local colleges and universities are an important part of higher education, and their teachers' morality and ethics significantly influence college students' worldviews, outlook on life and values [5][6]. Therefore, with the guidance of socialist core values, it is significant to construct a perfect evaluation system of teacher morality and teacher style of local colleges and universities to promote the development of local colleges and universities, the improvement of teachers' quality and the growth and success of college students [7][8][9]. Teacher morality and teacher style is a complex theoretical and practical issue and an important basis for constructing the evaluation index system of teacher morality and style in colleges and universities.…”
