> this ethical behaviour is informed by each students value system.
There are several aspects which we look at in order to truly grasp the concept of "ethical behaviour"
Ethics :
- relates to our values we are brought up on.
- being unethical, does not necessarily mean breaking the law.
- is "my school" ethically appropriate in representing schools? can these statistics be used unethically?
Morals:
- right / wrong
- behaviour that could transgress the law
- society/communal beliefs
- a teacher upholds certain values of our society. Some actions can be ethically wrong. ie. posting naked pics for a magazine.
Values:
- we get from our parents
- from our school
- from our community
- depends on our ethnic background
- we take values into our ethical decisions
Law:
- copyright
- plagiarism
Incorporating technology into education, it is important as the teacher to insist to students the concept of 'ethical behaviour' not is it appropriate for using computers, but it is an aspect of life, which may arise in many different instances. As a result teachers need to emphasise the importance of it.
