Teachers' professional ethics: Theoretical frameworks and empirical research from Finland

In our book Teachers’ Professional Ethics: Theoretical Frameworks and Empirical Research from Finland, we present the national ethical code for Finnish teachers and the values that guide their work in Finland. Finnish teachers are ethical professionals who have more freedom in their work than many of their international peers. The respected status of Finnish teachers has made Finland an exemplar country in teacher education that many countries want to learn more from. Finnish teacher education is research-based and in this book we have gathered empirical research on teachers’ ethics performed in Tirri’s research group during the last 30 years.

Abstract

In our book Teachers’ Professional Ethics: Theoretical Frameworks and Empirical Research from Finland, we present the national ethical code for Finnish teachers and the values that guide their work in Finland. Finnish teachers are ethical professionals who have more freedom in their work than many of their international peers. The respected status of Finnish teachers has made Finland an exemplar country in teacher education that many countries want to learn more from. Finnish teacher education is research-based and in this book we have gathered empirical research on teachers’ ethics performed in Tirri’s research group during the last 30 years.
