摘要:AbstractEnhancing ethics concerning teaching practice is one of the most important issues in teacher education. All teachers need to improve their ethical sense for maintaining professional standards in teaching and doing research as well as monitoring and guiding students’ ethical behaviours. It is crucial for pre-service teachers to develop their ethical sense during learning in teacher institutions. The purpose of this study is to investigate pre-service teachers’ responses to ethical situations. The responses were collected from seventy-four third-year pre-service physical and health education teachers who enrolled in the Ethics and Codes for Teachers Course in 2014. Six ethical situations with open-ended questions relating to student plagiarisms, teacher-teacher conflicts, and parent-teacher conflicts were used to gather the pre-service teachers’ views. The pre-service teachers were grouped into five to seven, discussed with the group members to come up with the best answers for the six ethical situations. A constant comparative method was employed to analyze the data. The results revealed multiple compromising solutions for the ethical situations. Details of responses are presented and discussed.
