WHY ETHICS IN EDUCATION?
Ethics in education helps regulate the
education system and ensures that this
practice positively contributes towards human
welfare.
Ethics in education are applicable on both the
instructors as well as the students.
 Ethics in education that are applicable on
teachers require them to show patience to
every student despite their learning abilities.
Ethics education can be
divided into four stages:
1- Ethics education in family

2- Ethics education in school

3- Ethics education in university

4- Ethics education in business

1. In family, ethics education should focus on descriptive
facts. Children observe their parents’ ethical behaviors and
they learn social facts about ethical behavior.

2. In school, students learn what is right and what is wrong.

This is a value education or character education.

3. In university, ethics should be professional ethics.

4. In business, people learn some ethical codes about their

occupations.

 SOME ISSUES TO
PONDER
In 2009, a Georgia teacher was forced to resign when a
picture of the teacher holding a drink was posted on
Facebook.

The teacher was on vacation in Europe at the time

The school felt like the teacher was promoting alcohol use

Court upheld decision because they feel that anyone who

resigns even under pressure can’t be considered
involuntary termination (Downey, 2011)
Chicago public school teacher refused to teach
kindergarten curriculum because of religious beliefs

The teacher’s religious beliefs prevented them from

promoting love of country

Court ruled that teacher’s beliefs must be respected but

that the teacher can’t force beliefs on students by
bypassing parts of curriculum (Schimmel, Stellman, &
Fischer, 2011).
Inireklamo ang isang guro sa bayan ng Lupi, Camarines
Sur dahil sa malakas umanong pamamalo sa puwet ng
isang estudyante sa kindergarten na nag-iwan pa ng pasa.

Natakot nang pumasok sa eskuwelahan ang limang taong

gulang na si "Jojo" matapos paluin noong Hunyo 28 ng
guro gamit umano ang stick na panturo sa pisara. (ABS-

Inireklamo ng isang magulang ang isang Grade 2 teacher dahil
sa mga pangungusap sa test paper ng kaniyang anak
patungkol sa extrajudicial killings (EJK) at imahe ng pulisya.

Unang nag-viral sa social media ang post ng magulang.

Kuwento ni alyas "Jacky," kung hindi pa nagtanong ang anak ay

hindi niya mapapansin ang nilalaman ng test paper.

Pang-uri sa Filipino ang paksa ng pagsusulit pero nabahala siya

sa ilang pangungusap na ginamit.
Narito ang ilang mga inilagay ng guro:

Pulang-pula ang dugo na nagkalat sa sahig.

Abusado ang mga pulis.
Matataba at malalaki ang tiyan ng mga pulis.
Masama ang extrajudicial killings.
"Sinabihan niya lang ako na 'Mommy, paano nangyari na 'yung dugo
nagkalat sa sahig?' Ano yun? Sabi ko sa movie mo ba nakita 'yan o may
nakita ka ba? 'Yun pa ang inisip ko," ayon kay Jacky.

"Tapos biglang nagtanong na naman siya na 'Mommy, bakit sabi

abusado ang mga pulis? Di ba, Mommy, ang abusado, bad 'yun?' Kasi
ang son ko, gusto niya maging pulis paglaki kaya nagulat ako," dagdag
ng ina.
Reasons For Teaching Ethics
1. Introduce students to faulty
rationalization

Unethical decisions often result from

faulty rationalization and external
pressures.

2. Expose students to opposing
viewpoints

Ethical discussions not only expose

students to contrasting ethical
opinions, they also provide an
opportunity to understand the
reasons behind the differences.

3. Allow students to develop
critical thinking skills

Students who study such first-rate

reasoning in the classroom stand a
better chance of being able to engage
in solid ethical reasoning in the
workplace.” Chris MacDonald,
