Ethics in Teaching :: Education Philosophy

Ethics in TeachingEthics should be a main concern when a instructor is deciding how to teach and what he/she plans on teaching. Ethics are the morals that a person believes in. A fundamental concern is a main idea. I looked up training in the dictionary and its definition is the state or art of teaching. Therefore, when I hear the phrase, Ethics must be seen as a central concern of critical pedagogy, said by Henry A. Giroux, I believe that he means morals used in teaching motive to be looked upon with high regards and also very carefully when a teacher is teaching.Ethics in teaching can have both substantiative and negative effects for the learners. I believe that teachers in elementary give lessons and middle school should set an example for their students. They can do this by cosmos responsible, treating people fairly, and respecting their elders. When a students sees his/her teacher doing this, the student will then want to be like the teacher and follow the teachers exa mple. Several students do not have very positive environments at their homes. The teachers may be the students only image of a good citizen.Once a student gets into high school, he/she has already developed his/her own morals and values. This is a time when a teacher can get into a dish up of trouble when giving his/her opinion on certain subjects such as religion, race, and abortion. The teacher should try to avoid talking about these topics if at totally possible. The teachers should still act as an example of good human being for the children by treating people fairly, being courteous, and being responsible. In Freires commandment of the Oppressed, Freire often talks about two contrasting teaching styles. wholeness involves a banking concept where the teacher lectures all of the time and tries to put the tuition into the students head as if he/she was a robot.
