Teacher’s Professional Ethics : Towards a comprehensive approach

Abstract

This article starts with the discussion of the relationship between teacher's professional ethics and general or fundamental ethics, contingent on the issue of teacher's professionalism.  Further, it presents various approaches to teacher's professional ethics, resulting from different classical philosophical perspectives, centered on duty, consequence, virtue, value, and the person. Finally, it argues for an integrated, personalist approach to the subject, providing a solid ground in the cultural context of fluid modernity.
