Conclusion
The aim of this chapter was to foster insight into the importance that ethics can have on teaching and learning. Throughout this chapter, we discussed the importance that ethics can have in education along with teaching and learning.
These are the learning outcomes for this chapter:
- The democratic concept comes from understanding the normative ethics of justice, utilitarianism, deontology, and human rights in order to create a framework for democratic education.
- Developing educational programs by conceptualizing freedom through a guide, such as the six ethical pillars, and continually self-assessing moral objectives supports the achievement of moral development in schools.
- Moral development takes on many different forms, from divergent methods to interdisciplinary methods. Although these are many, one size does not fit all and brings into question how to teach it.
- Problems can develop through conceptual ambiguity, contextual pressures, and disparities between values and procedures of schooling. The important takeaway with ethics is there are no winners or losers, just conclusions from the conversations.
