The Degree of Commitment of Public School Teachers in the Ramtha District to the Ethics of the Teaching Profession in Light of Post-COVID Developments From the Perspective of Principals and Teachers

This study aimed to identify the degree of commitment of public-school teachers in the Ramtha district to the ethics of the teaching profession in light of post-COVID developments, from the perspective of principals and teachers. The descriptive survey method was used, with a questionnaire as the data collection tool. It was applied to a sample of 347 principals and teachers, selected using simple random sampling. The study results showed that the degree of commitment of public-school teachers in the Ramtha district to the ethics of the teaching profession in light of post-COVID developments was high. Additionally, no statistically significant differences were found at the significance level (α=0.05) between the mean scores of the study sample’s estimates of the teachers' commitment, attributed to the variables of "years of experience" and "job title." However, statistically significant differences were found attributed to the variables of "gender" and "educational stage," with differences favoring "females" and the "primary stage," respectively. The study recommends that teachers continue to adhere to the ethics of the teaching profession in light of post-COVID developments in areas including "students, the local community and parents, colleagues, and the school."
