PROFESSIONALISM AND ETHICS IN TEACHING

PROFESSIONALISM AND ETHICS IN TEACHING Professionalism and Ethics in Teaching examines the ethical issues in teaching. After discussing the moral implications of professionalism, the author explores the relationship of education theory to teaching practice and the impact of this relationship on professional expertise. He then identifies and examines some central ethical and moral issues in education and teaching. Finally, David Carr gives a detailed analysis of a range of issues concerning the role of the teacher and the management of educational institutions. Professionalism and Ethics in Teaching presents a thought-provoking and stimulating study of the moral dimensions of the teaching profession. David Carr is Professor of Philosophy of Education in the Faculty of Education at the University of Edinburgh. He is the author of Educating the Virtues (1991) and editor of Education, Knowledge and Truth (1998). ii PROFESSIONAL ETHICS Editor: Ruth Chadwick Centre for Professional Ethics, University of Central Lancashire Professionalism is a subject of interest to academics, the general public and would-be professional groups. Traditional ideas of professions and professional conduct have been challenged by recent social, political and technological changes. One result has been the development for almost every profession of an ethical code of conduct which attempts to formalise its values and standards. These codes of conduct raise a number of questions about the status of a ‘profession’ and the consequent moral implications for behaviour. This series seeks to examine these questions both critically and constructively. Individual volumes will consider issues relevant to particular professions, including nursing, genetic counselling, journalism, business, the food industry and law. Other volumes will address issues relevant to all professional groups such as the function and value of a code of ethics and the demands of confidentiality.
