Tackling the Dilemmas of Teachers'Ethics:Focusing on the Cultivation of Their Belief in Education
The essential moral attribute of education adds a strong ethical color to teachers'work.Ethical challenges and dilemmas are inevitable in their practice of education by preaching,teaching and resolving doubts.The ethical dilemmas of teachers stem from the institutional framework and the continuous reform of modem educational institutions,and become more complicated with the evolution of the contemporary education system.In the practice-based scene where educational institutions,students(parents)and peers interact with each other,teachers are troubled in their ethical decision-making by the balance between public and private interests,and the conflicts between justice and interests.In their work,teachers need to use institutionalized public strategies to address the difficulties;in their life,they need to adjust themselves with corresponding hidden strategies.Frequent decision-making dilemmas and dissimilated ethical practices diminish the vitality of educational institutions and undermine the internal force of teachers'growth.To tackle the dilemmas of teachers'ethics,we need to consolidate the intellectual foundation for the cultivation of their belief in education,make up for their poor competence to cope with ethical dilemmas,create a community for their spiritual empowerment,build a good ecological environment for their teaching at ease,and help them to make steady progress in their ethical practice of carrying forward the spirit of distinguished educators.
