K niektorým terminologickým otázkam učiteľskej etiky

This paper is focused on terminological issues concerning the ethics of teaching. In connection with the profession of teachers we find weaknesses or even absence of theoretical modelling of professional ethics within philosophy and ethics at all (not only in Slovakia and Czech Republic); moreover, similar situation exists in pedagogy. Therefore we stress the importance of “visualising”the ethics of teaching in the context of Czech and Slovak education. The ethics of teaching becomes an important topic in Slovakia and Czech Republic. There is a growing need for theoretical modelling of ethics of teaching as well as for the ethics code of teaching in Slovakia. In my paper the opinions concerning the notions and contents of ethics of teaching are analysed; I will also discuss different attitudes to the 12 Studie – Pedagogická orientace č. 2, 2007 ethics of teaching. New definition of the ethics of teaching will be formed. Because the dynamic development of the society brings many ethical and moral problems in education (including teaching profession) the importance of including the topics of the ethics of teaching in pre-service teacher training is emphasised.
