Education Ethics
The author of this report has been asked to find an article relating to education. Of course, that topic is very widespread and wide-ranging in nature. The author of this report decided to center on ethics in education. Specifically, the article chosen was written by Maughn Gregory. Its title reveals that ethics education should exist and manifest as philosophical practice. There is material drawn from Socratic, critical and contemplative pedagogies. The remainder of this page and the next page will serve as a summary of that article. While it is indeed possible to engage in navel-gazing and over-thought when it comes to ethics in education, the topic is extremely important…without a doubt.
Article Summary
The article starts off by quoting the words of John Dewey when he said that moral education is growth from impulsive behavior to what is known as a "reflect morality" (Gregory, 2015). Further, Dewey said that morality is a realm that is a stage of individual and collective growth in which "interests and concerns that began as impulsive or were learned as conventional have become clarified, revised and operationalized by means of rational inquiry and social intercourse (Gregory, 2015). Dewey goes on to state that young children commonly use and react to words such as naughty, nice, hate, love, anger, lie, punish, hurt, fair and help. Rather than just being mere concepts,...
The first one noted is Socratic pedagogy. Gregory notes that this educational movement is "informed by discourse theory." There is a heavy involvement with theory of dialog, critical thinking and informal logic. There is also educational psychology (e.g. social learning theory) and the overall Socratic method. Of course, Socrates was a philosopher. The raw and real meaning of philosopher is one that pursues (philo) the somatic, emotional, psychological and spiritual insights (Sophia) that enable one to live as a human being (Gregory, 2015).
There is then what is known as the critical pedagogy. It begins from the premise that the schools work of socializing kids together is a means of reproducing political and social injustices. However, schools can also be sites for democratic change. There are swaths of critical theory, liberation theology, historical/social/political campaigns and programs of popular education. Finally, there is a contemplative pedagogy. It is the newest of the three educational movements mentioned in this report. However, some of its roots are modern while some date back to the days of the early Greeks and Romans. There are also swaths of other ancient philosophies such as Hinduism, Buddhism…

Ethics Awareness Inventory The Individual Ethics Awareness Inventory examines which of four different components is the most critical in an individual's ethical position: character, obligation, results, and equity (CORE).

Ethics Awareness Inventory According to the Ethics Inventory, I fell into two categories: those who are obligation-oriented, and those who are results-oriented. In some ways, the ethical beliefs of these two categories are in conflict; for instance, usually people who base ethical decisions on obligation or duty are not as concerned with results as with principles. However, I scored high in the results-oriented category as well. I believe that my ability
The official motivation of the ruling which initially determined a two-year suspension for the students in question invoked the common good which is placed above personal interest. The practical evidence for such a concern is the "zero tolerance" policies. In theory, it tries to consider the best interest of the community by applying a predetermined punishment; Angelique Forrester points out "a zero tolerance policy for schools would create the same
