Predictor of professional ethics among teacher eduators

Abstract

Professional ethics is a set of guidelines designed to help professionals do their work with complete dedication, sincerity, honesty, and integrity. The code of professional ethics for teacher educators establishes a set of principles to guide and motivate students at the B.Ed and M.Ed levels. In order to fulfil their tasks with inspiration, enthusiasm, and friendliness toward students, parents, colleagues, community, and society, the teacher educator should have developed into a role model with distinguished attributes. Educator educators' professional ethics may be influenced by a variety of educational, personal, and institutional variables. Using normative survey methodology and stratified sampling approach, the investigator investigated a study on predictor or most influencing element of professional ethics of teacher educators. Five hundred and ninety-nine teacher educators were chosen as a sample from forty different institutes of education in five distinct districts across Tamilnadu. Professional ethics, as well as a number of institutional, personal, and familial characteristics, were chosen for further analysis. The investigator designed and validated Professional Ethics Scale (2018), which was based on Likert's five-point research scale based on opinion as a scale of measurement that was used to measure professional ethics among teacher educators.
