An Analysis of Ethical Considerations in Classroom Interactive Decision Making of Elementary School Teachers——Based on Eye-Tracking Data
Teaching is a professional practice with great ethical significance,and the ethics in the teaching process is particularly important in primary education.However,most of the current research on the ethics of the teaching process remains at the level of"should-be".Based on the eye-tracking data obtained by teachers wearing eye-trackers in real classrooms,this paper integrates video analysis,post-class interviews with teachers,and data from scales used by teachers to assess students'performance,so as to explore the ethics of teachers'visual attention and interactive decision-making in the classrooms of elementary school.It is found that teachers'visual attention in the whole classroom teaching is fair,and their interactive decision-making has a certain correlation with students'performance characteristics,which is closely related to teachers'ethical considerations.From the perspective of the consequentialism of ethical theories,this paper develops a two-dimensional analysis framework of"Teacher's Interest-Student's Interest"and"Collective Interest-Individual Interest"to analyze the ethical considerations in the process of teachers'classroom interaction decision-making.
