SILVA, PAULO FRAGA DA; ISHII, IONE  and  KRASILCHIK, MYRIAM. CODE OF ETHICS FOR TEACHERS: A DILEMMA. Educ. rev. [online]. 2020, vol.36, e215216.  Epub May 27, 2020. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698215216.

Teacher training courses have been prioritizing the cognitive domain at the expense of the affective domain with a strong ethical component characteristic of the academic routine. Ethical dilemmas faced in the teaching practice inspired us to bring an overview of aspects addressed by the literature and some codes of ethics for teachers. Adopting these codes or not is a controversial issue. This text aims to bring up this controversy as a contribution to the professionalization of educators, so that they are able to anticipate ethical dilemmas situation at school, in its complexity and contradiction, giving them a better forwarding. Thus, it is expected that future teachers will be prepared to face these situations in students, colleagues and institutions relationship. An analysis of the dilemmas that there are at school can result in more fair decisions which also consider, besides to academic and institutional perspectives, the human aspects. Our proposal is that this discussion shall be broadly covered in teacher training courses.

Keywords : Ethics; Teacher Training; Codes Of Ethics; Values.
