Taking modelling beyond ‘teaching morally’ and ‘teaching morality’

ABSTRACT The central question of this paper is whether and how, from a virtue ethical perspective, teacher modelling and student emulation hang together in moral education. This matters, because philosophers have often focussed either on the moral psychology of emulation or on modelling as a moral educational method, neglecting the interplay between the two. It starts by analysing the conceptual framework underlying the influential Manner in Teaching (MiT) and Moral Work of Teaching (MWT) projects. It reconstructs how modelling is understood as ‘teaching morally’ or ‘teaching morality’. These two interpretations of modelling are developed further by drawing on additional literature on teacher education and moral education. Then, the conceptual framework is extended by focusing on how students may learn from modelling through mimicry, imitation or emulation. This results in several conceptual relations that illuminate the complex dynamics between teacher modelling and student emulation. For example, teacher modelling does not guarantee student emulation, which challenges the common advocacy for teachers as role models. At the same time, students may emulate teachers without teachers being aware of their impact. This results in a more nuanced understanding of what it takes for teachers to be moral role models.

The Role of Academic Ethics in the Professional Relationships of University Academic Staff

The subject of the research in the paper is academic ethics in the professional relationships of university teachers. The final results are presented on the basis of in-depth interviews with representatives of the academic staff of Russian universities (N=35). The purpose of the paper is to show how academic ethics as a value-normative phenomenon supports the professional relationships of academic staff at the university and forms certain values that ensure the effectiveness of the scientific and educational process. In this interpretation, the emphasis is placed on identifying the creative potential of academic ethics, its impact on the scientific and educational process at the university in terms of professional interaction of its main subjects. An assessment of the structure and content of academic ethics is given. It is established that academic ethics, being an element of academism in the higher education system, influences the formation of value-normative attitudes of respect and recognition. In addition, the importance of this phenomenon for the strategic development of the university and at the same time the preservation of academic traditions is revealed. The article also summarizes the assessments of the state of academic ethics at universities formulated by informants. In such assessments, value-semantic reflection prevails, which makes it possible to identify academic ethics as a factor of effective professional interaction between subjects of the educational process in order to achieve joint goals for the formation of their value world and professional knowledge and skills.

The effects of cyberbullying victimization on cyberbullying perpetration among Chinese college students: callous-unemotional traits and the moderating role of Internet morality.

The Internet has triggered a series of online deviant behaviors, and cyberbullying is one of them. Cyberbullying victimization as a category of frustration and the aggression triggered by it has been confirmed by many studies. Previous studies have explored the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and cyberbullying perpetration. However, the boundary conditions of the two have yet to be sufficiently explored, and this article will further explore the moderating effect in the transformation mechanism. The convenience sampling method was used to select a cumulative total of 668 students from university students of several universities in Beijing for the study, using questionnaires including Cyberbullying Victimization Questionnaire, Cyberbullying Perpetration Questionnaire, the Callous-unemotional Traits Scale, and Internet Morality Questionnaire. (1) Controlling for gender and grade, cyberbullying victimization has a positive relationship with cyberbullying perpetration. (2) Callous-unemotional traits moderated the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and perpetration. (3) Internet morality can moderate the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and perpetration. (4) Callous-unemotional traits and Internet morality can co-regulate the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and perpetration. The results indicate that cyberbullying victimization had a significant positive relationship with cyberbullying perpetration, a process moderated by callous-unemotional traits and Internet morality.

Literature Review and Theoretical Generalizations of the Ethics Role in Business and Management: Family Business as a Case Study

The article contains the results of the analysis of the world’s scientific achievements and theoretical generalizations regarding the functions of ethics in business organizations, the range of its application in management, and its role and place in ensuring the effectiveness of the company’s economic activity. This study considers ethics not as an obstacle to business development that requires additional resources but as a relationship based on trust and cooperation that determines the firm’s strategy and competitive advantages. The article summarizes approaches to integrating ethics into management practice and considers the taxonomy of management ethics in organizations. Using the example of a family business, the article identifies general mechanisms for reconciling ethical principles and economic efficiency of a company so that care about ethical responsibility has a favorable impact on fulfilling the main mission – making a profit. The ethical practices of family and non-family businesses are compared. Although family businesses do not always have a formal code of ethics, they are more likely to model ethical behaviour through their actions; family values and their transmission from generation to generation play a significant role in shaping ethical practices in this business; family businesses become more involved in social activities and feel responsible to the community; their image and reputation are an absolute priority. Based on the theory of legitimacy, the article examines the concept of socio-emotional wealth using the example of the family business, which includes values related to emotions and non-financial aspects of business that meet the emotional needs of the family (identity, ability to influence the family and perpetuate the family dynasty). The article considers ethics an integral element of a company’s social capital. It summarizes the approaches and stages of ethical policy formation, through which ethical standards are specified and implemented through formal and informal rules and procedures established by individuals and organizations. While forming an ethical policy, it is important to start from the components of the company’s context (culture, values, internal regulations), choose a business model that is consistent with values and ethical principles, and formalize the procedures for the transition from individual ethical behaviour of managers (loyalty, honesty, ethics, fidelity) to the creation of collective ethics (dissemination of these values within the company). The article provides recommendations for the successful integration of ethical policy: coordination between ethics and corporate image, between ethics and company performance, and coordination of mechanisms for formalizing ethics and corporate culture.

Multiculturalism in ‘troubled’ times: meeting diversity’s challenges with care

ABSTRACT Superdiversity now highlights the complexity of diverse societies. Celebrating and encouraging diverse populations, therefore, remains a priority to ensure fair and equitable treatment for all. Multiculturalism, once seen as part of the solution to diversity issues, is now regarded as problematic, although this is by no means new. Asian contexts have rarely been hospitable milieus for liberal multiculturalism. Although diversity and heterogeneity characterize most Asian societies only responses consistent with ‘local values’, are allowable. In the West, many scholars (and politicians) have advocated the abandonment of multiculturalism creating a contested agenda for responding to diversity. In the current context there are no commonly agreed attitudinal or behavioral norms capable of responding. Attention needs to be paid to identifying alternatives that can contribute to the development of positive relationships, irrespective of social and political contexts. This paper seeks to do this by considering the role of care ethics.

How Education Shapes Ethics in Network Marketing: The Role of Identity and Training

Network marketing’s growth is plagued by ethical concerns, emphasizing the importance of implementing training programs that prioritize integrity. This study aims to analyze how different forms of network marketing training play a role in shaping the marketing ethics of trainees with different identities. It examines how network marketing training shapes ethical proneness of the trainees. Differences in trainee identity (college students vs. incumbent marketers) and training form (college course vs. online training) are also explored. Structural equation model (SEM) is established amongst adaptability, class cooperation, motivation, self-efficacy, and ethical proneness. Through textual analysis, questionnaires, and sim-structural interview, this research conducts three studies to empirically analyze the relationship between factors of marketing training and ethical proneness. It explores the influencing mechanisms of network marketing training on marketing ethics. The relationship between network marketing training and ethical propensity is partially confirmed. The shaping mechanism of marketing ethics is different under different trainee identities and training forms. Positive learning motivation and self-efficacy do not constantly improve trainees’ marketing ethics. Informal online training plays a more significant role in shaping market ethics than college courses in network marketing. Lastly, college students are less likely to have their marketing ethics shaped by training than in-job marketers.

Beyond Exemplification and Role Modelling for the Education of Moral Character

This paper briefly explores the possible perception of inconsistency or contradiction between the author’s defence in a former 2007 essay of the importance of good or virtuous character and moral role-modelling for the professional practice of teachers and a more recent essay of 2023 which has taken a more cautious view of such exemplification. Basically, while admitting some recent significant change of ethical perspective, it is here argued that these two papers are not fundamentally at odds, and that the problem to which the later essay is addressed follows more from some serious overstatement of the moral educational role of character in more recent virtue ethical and moral educational literature.

Performance assessment of participation banks based on Maqasid al-Shari'ah framework: Evidence from Türkiye

In a dual banking system, participation banks (PBs) are expected to follow Islamic principles, morals, and ethical norms, all of which ultimately align with Maqasid al-Sharia'ah (MS). This study aimed to assess performance of PBs in Türkiye beyond traditional yardsticks to accentuate their ethical, social, and financial roles compliant with the axioms of MS. A mixed method deploying qualitative and quantitative inquiry was used. The first stage used text mining, and the second stage developed the MS Performance Index (MSPI) by adopting entropy weights based on the Ghazalian perspective. The datasets were derived from 18 reports for 2019–2021. Türkiye Finans appeared to have the highest score, whereas Ziraat received the lowest on MSPI scores. PBs achieved the highest scores for the wealth objective component and the lowest score for the intellect component because they became market-oriented and thus their disclosures did not support and promote MS.

The Moral of the Stories: Can Influencers be Moral Exemplars?

The aim of this paper is to propose a distinction between ‘morally conscious influencers’ and ‘moral influencers’ in order to explore the distinctive risks and potential advantages arising from the interaction that these two categories establish with their followers when they decide to publicly support a moral project, and so become candidates to act as a moral role model. The purpose of this analysis is to assess the value in elevating people who enjoy different degrees of influence to the status of a moral exemplar within educational setting.

Beyond Admiration: Rethinking the Nature of Emulation qua Role Modelling

This paper seeks to disambiguate the nature of emulation – the method of learning from moral role models. Within neo-Aristotelian character education, emulation is considered a primary method of virtuous character development, yet what emulation is and what it involves remains obscure. I argue that this is largely due to a category mistake: the misconceptualisation of emulation as a mere emotion, rather than a moral virtue in its own right. Predominantly composed of virtuous emotion and necessarily entailing virtuous action, I propose a componential account of the virtue of emulation, which I synthesise with Aristotle’s theory of ‘four causes’. I then make visible the importance of phronesis to the emulative process and accordingly introduce a new concept – entangled phronesis – as the psycho-moral mechanism which underpins it. Subsequently, I highlight the developmentally sensitive nature of emulation by dividing it into two main types: pre-phronetic habituated emulation and phronetically-informed complete emulation.

La ética de la inteligencia artificial en el campo educativo.

Abstract The ethics of artificial intelligence is a dynamic for the evaluation and regulatory orientation of artificial intelligence technologies, the objective of which is to analyze the ethics of artificial intelligence in the educational field. Furthermore, artificial intelligence has taken a crucial role in research ethics, as it poses ethical challenges and dilemmas that must be carefully addressed, massive data collection and people’s privacy are topics of great relevance. At the same time, it is essential to consider algorithmic bias and automated decision-making that may affect specific groups in society. On the other hand, it is essential to guarantee the privacy and security of student data, as well as address equity in access to technology and avoid exclusion or discrimination based on algorithms. Likewise, artificial intelligence is revolutionizing education by providing tools and resources that transform the way we teach and learn. Finally, personalization of learning, virtual tutoring, automated assessment, and intelligent educational resources are just some of the applications of AI that are improving the quality and accessibility of education. However, it is important to address the ethical and social challenges associated with its implementation. Keywords: Ethics, artificial intelligence, education

Nostalgia and Stories of Early Arrival Amongst the Turkish Diaspora in Broadmeadows

This article discusses how Turkish people in the suburb of Broadmeadows in Melbourne, Australia, construct nostalgia for their earlier days as migrants. Furthermore, it highlights the didactic and ethical role this nostalgia plays within the Turkish community. Turkish migrants began to manifest nostalgia for the earlier days in Australia after the dream of returning to the homeland began to wane. This nostalgia presents an image of the ideal Turk to the younger generations in Australia and therefore helps to preserve the Turkish identity. This nostalgia also enables Turks to distance themselves from negative images of the contemporary homeland, allowing them to present themselves as authentic Turks; it also helps Turkish Australians to cope with their economic marginality in Australia. Nostalgia for the early days in Australia therefore has many purposes for Turkish Australians today.

Delving into sustainability reporting literature: The role of ethics

Research background: After major scandals in apparently reputable and solvent companies, added to the great economic crises of recent decades, accounting and finance have become a fundamental discipline for the correct study of these events from an ethical point of view. Philosophers, economists and even religious people have wanted to contribute their grain of sand to the study of the ethical behaviour of companies and make it go beyond mere administration. In recent years, non-financial reporting has been gaining ground, to the point that the legal system now makes it compulsory in most Western countries. Purpose of the article: This study aims to review and summarize the role of ethics in the sustainability reporting so as to develop a holistic framework of ethics in the sustainability reporting; review the evolution of the research field; and identify the most significant research tendencies enabling the proposal of several future research directions. Methods: Using the Scopus and Web of Science databases, a bibliometric analysis has been carried out in the field of accounting on this topic from its formal origins in the 1980s to the present day, in addition to highlighting the importance of sustainability. 271 articles have been used as a basis for developing the main trends at bibliographic, geographical and institutional levels. Findings & value added: This study highlights the importance of incorporating ethics in non-financial information as a field of research, through two very different lines of research that have gained importance in recent years: ethics in business and the growing relevance of non-financial information. It also incorporates a bibliometric analysis with information obtained from two major databases: Scopus and Web of Science. The use of both databases makes it possible to broaden the body of articles covered, compared to other bibliometric analyses previously carried out on similar topics, and allows for the inclusion of more relevant articles on this subject.

PERSAMI MI Nurussalam: Strategies for increasing students' spiritual intelligence based on natural activities

Spiritual intelligence is an important dimension in the holistic development of students. Although intellectual intelligence (IQ) is often the main focus in education, spiritual intelligence also has a significant role in shaping character, morality, and emotional well-being. Islamic Religious subject is one way to develop spiritual intelligence, a phenomenon that occurs at MI Nurussalam. Islamic Religious subject is given at a percentage of 10% of the general subjects’ hours so that religious subject study hours only last for three meetings a week. Universitas Darussalam (UNIDA) Gontor Women’s Campus Postgraduate Community Service Team organized PERSAMI at MI Nurussalam which aimed at increasing student's spiritual intelligence through fun natural activities, namely Saturday and Sunday Camps (Saturday and Sunday Camps – PERSAMI). The method used is PAR (Participatory Action Research), in partnership with MI Nurussalam teachers and students. This community service has succeeded in carrying out a series of activities which generally includes camps, cross country, and happy bonfires with a series of religious subjects in each activity. PERSAMI of MI Nurussalam activities succeeded in increasing students' spiritual enthusiasm and increasing their understanding of religion through fun nature camp activities.
