“…In the 1980s, ethics moved from its isolation in university philosophy departments and became increasingly accessible for students of medicine, business, law, communication, and many other disciplines (Christians & Lambeth, 1996). The challenge of the present day is "to ground media ethics education in the general morality, not first of all professional ethics" (Christians, 2008, p. 191).…”

“…A number of studies have examined the status of ethics instruction in U.S. university departments (Christians & Lambeth, 1996;Lee & Padgett, 2000;Lambeth et al, 2004;Canary, 2007). The present research appeared to be the first to explore the current perspectives on ethics education in the world scope.…”

“…The fact that the first factor-"moral character"-explained almost 50% of the total original variance might indicate that participants valued ethics education mainly because they believed in a close tie between general morality and professional ethics. In this regard, Christians and Lambeth (1996) remarked, "Communication ethics cut loose from general morality tends to be self-serving" (p. 237).…”

“…Definitely, a Socratic dialogue is an essential technique for the discussion of ethical dilemmas where clear-cut answers are hardly possible and where the teacher strives to avoid moralism and indoctrination (Christians & Lambeth, 1996).…”

This study examined the present state of teaching ethics in university public relations departments in the U.S. and abroad. The results indicated that public relations teachers perceived ethics instruction in public relations education to be essential, and they believed in a close tie between general morality and professional ethics. However, as the results of a quantitative survey suggested, foreign participants believed that ethics instruction helps students make right choices on the job less so than did participants who were born and teach in the U.S. A series of qualitative interviews with communication teachers in Western European universities revealed that the foreign teachers did not perceive themselves as direct contributors to the public relations industry. Instead, they saw themselves as individuals who are responsible for general liberal education of the youth, not specialized training.Multiple regression analysis of a number of respondents' demographics showed that the higher the participants' rank, the less favorable attitude they held toward the value of ethics education to students. This result is a subject of a future investigation.The majority of participants recognized ethics instruction incorporated in courses throughout the PR curriculum as the most valuable format of ethics instruction delivery. The most used pedagogies-teacher lectures, case studies, and group discussion-appeared to be the most effective approaches, whereas the most used resources in teaching ethics-textbooks, trade magazine articles, and newspaper or magazine stories-were perceived as the most effective material in teaching ethics.

“…De hecho, la bibliografía no hace sino crear nuevas interrogantes más que contestar las existentes. Resulta sumamente complicado inclinarse por un enfoque y señalarlo como el ideal, como puede comprobarse examinando los numerosos estudios sobre este asunto llevados a cabo en Estados Unidos y en Europa (Black, 1992;Braun, 1999;Callahan y Bok, 1980;Christians, 1978;Christians y Covert, 1980;Christians y Lambeth, 1996;Christians, Rotzoll y Fackler, 1998;Elliot, 1984;The Hastings Center, 1980;Lambeth, Christians y Cole, 1994;Payne, 1992;Peck, 1991;Reis, 2000;Thomas, 2000;Van Horn, 1997).…”

RESUMEN¿Cuáles son los objetivos pedagógicos básicos que debe perseguir un profesor de Ética de la Comunicación? En este artículo se analizan las respuestas más comunes dadas a esta cuestión por la bibliografía: Entender la teoría ética clásica; mejorar las habilidades para el razonamiento moral; estudiar los sistemas deontológicos (códigos, consejos, etc.); preparar a los alumnos para la vida profesional; y evaluar la actuación de los medios de comunicación. Además se revisan los resultados de una investigación llevada a cabo en 14 países miembros de la UE. En concreto, analizamos las respuestas dadas por 50 profesores de la asignatura a un cuestionario en el que, entre otras cosas, fueron preguntados sobre los objetivos pedagógicos que persiguen al impartir la asignatura.PALABRAS CLAVE: Ética de la Comunicación -Enseñanza -Educación SuperiorProfesionalismo -Razonamiento moral 1 Autor correspondiente: Jesús Díaz del Campo Lozano: Profesor asociado de la
