This thesis poses the research question of whether it would be desirable and feasible to articulate common ethical standards for counsel. It conducts original research into the issues arising from the nascent process of professionalisation of advocacy before international courts and tribunals. Its methodology includes: historical narration, comparison between national standards, detailed examination of the procedures and practices of international courts and analysis of international codes of conduct. Its research sources include: national and international rules and cases, published secondary sources, interviews with judges and advocates and unpublished archival materials. The thesis first sets out the theoretical and historical framework in which the research question is situated. It defines key conceptual terms such as 'advocacy', 'professionalisation' and 'procedural integrity' in placing the problem of common ethical standards within the sociological context of the wider international judicial system. It describes the historical origins of advocacy, compares the ethics of major national jurisdictions and sets out the historical evolution of international advocacy. It then examines the procedural architectures and practical experiences of the International Court of Justice, European Court of Justice and International Criminal Court in a comparative study. In seeking to determine whether the articulation of common ethical standards would be desirable, it identifies areas of commonality and difference amongst three distinct international courts. Finally, it addresses the question of whether the professionalisation of advocacy through common ethical standards would be feasible. It considers the competence of international courts to prescribe and enforce such standards as well as early efforts to articulate common ethical standards. It analyses whether an international bar of centralised regulatory authority is feasible and the potential consequences of professionalisation. In answering its research question, the thesis argues that common ethical standards are both desirable and feasible. It suggests that the rationale for such standards is the protection of the integrity of judicial proceedings. It contends that such standards are feasible through a coordinated process that involves carefully articulated principles by senior counsel with the involvement of national bar authorities and judges.

The thesis makes a distinctive contribution to the field of professional ethics; offering a more nuanced understanding of the role of a profession’s ethos in relation to its ethics. In so doing, it also offers a valuable insight into GP thinking at what proved to be a unique moment in the history of that branch of the medical profession. Using historical and empirical data, the thesis first traces the development of the medical profession’s ethos - Its belief in itself as a noble, superior profession, of special dignity and worth. It then shows the influence of that ethos in areas of professional decision-making that have had a particular impact on the provision of health care within the LJK over the past 50 years. Taking the profession’s ethos as a benchmark, the study explores the nature of the profession’s response to the creation, control and, in recent years, major reform of the NHS which reform introduced a new emphasis on management. The latter provides a case study that relates the theoretical material to an historical situation This includes a number of interviews with GPs that point to the beliefs and values influencing their decisions in relation to the reforms, as they affected general practice. The study concludes that, although a profession dependant on attracting clients may find it necessary to subscribe to a set of ethical principles that draws on outside beliefs and values, it is the ethics derived from its own internal ethos that will take precedence in guiding everyday thinking and practice

We now live in an era of experts on virtually everything, among which we have professional medical ethicists, who gained prominence in the late 60s due to dramatic advances in medical technology. Before then, medical ethics issues were not thought as separable from the warp and woof of the everyday life. Medical technology’s advancement cascades legions of moral problems in medicine and biomedical research. Series of innovative interventions in medicine raise throngs of ethical questions. In most cases that have to do with issues of life and death, there are perceived moral conflicts. Due to this swath of problematic issues that need solutions, some apologists favour medical ethics experts as fit for the job, while critics argue that no one has the knowledge or skill for dealing with moral quandaries because objective truth is not feasible in ethics and moral judgment is relative to cultures, beliefs and values. The necessity for medical ethicists to take active role in Medical Ethics Debates, either in Committees at the institutional level, or at any other decision-making mechanisms is justified in this thesis. In addition to this, the thesis also justifies medical ethicists’ role as expert consultants to clinicians and individuals alike This justification is based on complex moral problems accentuated by medical technology, which are far from being easily solved through mere appeal to individual reason, but rather by involving medical ethicists based on their specialized knowledge and high level understanding of research and practice. Although critics question the authority with which experts speak on these issues, nevertheless, the thesis unravels the roles, functions, significance and components of expert’s expertise that separate him/her from the crowd. Arguments are critically analysed and medical ethicists’ limits and professional flaws are addressed, with a view to establishing a virile foundation for the profession of medical ethics.

Published ArticleThis paper argues for a professional ethic in research and the contribution of theological ethics thereto. The author points out that although theological ethics is poor at dealing with issues related to professional ethics and its application to research, theological ethics can nevertheless make a fundamental contribution towards a professional ethic for research. It is also emphasised that although there is very limited (South African) literature on this topic, some theological ethics studies can contribute towards the understanding of such ethics. The author works with a triple helix approach to (theological) ethics. This approach to ethics is built upon the concept of responsible acts (Douma), making decisions (Fisher) and a growth ethic (Burggraeve). The article concludes with pointers for a professional ethic in research from a theological ethics perspective.

ABSTRACT
An ethics curriculum is an integral part of most health profession courses. This thesis will explore using a qualitative approach to investigate the learning and application of professional ethical practice by Flinders University speech pathology students. This work will identify factors that may influence students readiness to learn about ethics. The knowledge, skills and attitudes that underpin professional ethical practice which speech pathology students were able to demonstrate at the conclusion of their entry level course will be illustrated. Also described will be the factors, identified by students and academics and field educators, which may influence student learning of this complex area of practice.
To explore this topic, the results of The Defining Issues Test (Rest, 1979b) of moral judgement development, independent and scaffolded case studies, as well as group and individual interviews with students, and individual interviews with academic and field educators have been used.
Results from this study suggest that a significant number of the undergraduate speech pathology students involved in this study found learning and applying ethical principles difficult, as their ability to reason morally remained conventional and rule bound. At the point of graduation, the students applied clinical and ethical reasoning skills, whilst emerging, were not yet well developed. The ability of students to demonstrate the integration of ethical theory and practice appeared limited. This lack of integration may be influenced by the fact that few field educators could report being exposed to formal ethical theories and ethical reasoning approaches during their own undergraduate education. Some of the more generic ethical practice skills reported by academics as being embedded throughout the speech pathology course, such as communication, team work and the seeking of professional support, were more clearly demonstrated by students.
Results of this study suggest that exiting students and newly graduated speech pathologists require ongoing support in the area of professional ethical practice. More explicit embedding of the theoretical underpinnings of the ethics knowledge base throughout the curriculum may be required. To be able to support the integration of professional ethical practice in students and new graduates, speech pathologists currently practising in the field who did not receive formal ethics education during their own degree or since, may require ongoing professional development in the formal knowledge base pertaining to professional ethical practice.

Professional ethics often asks for a kind of behaviour which is at odds with basic moral requirements, or it imposes moral restrictions which are not to be found in ordinary everyday interactions. Therefore, the individual professional must develop a sort of 'double morality', that is, he must learn how to use different sets of moral rules depending on whether he finds himself in a professional context or not.

The construction industry is inundated with many ethical problems that have supported its negative stigma as an unethical and corrupt industry. This inundation instigates the requirements of ethics instruction by accrediting bodies of construction education with the art of teaching this secondary topic left up to construction educators. Literature offers suggestions; however, there is not much understood regarding pedagogical best practice to ensure students are ethically sensitive (aware) to ethical issues related to the construction industry. This research attempts to move toward an understanding of construction ethics education's influence on students' ethical sensitivity. Two research strands were employed. The first strand included the development of a broad collection of ethics pedagogical techniques used in construction education (independent variable), via the administration of a how ethics is taught in construction survey (HETC) to both faculty and students of purposefully selected construction programs. The second strand included the development and administration of a Test for Ethical Sensitivity in Construction (TESC) to evaluate construction students' ability to recognize ethical issues that are specific to the construction industry (dependent variable). Results of the first strand illustrate a wide range of pedagogical techniques available to teach ethics in construction programs to assist and inspire the improvement of construction ethics education. Results of the second strand illustrate various degrees of difficulty students had recognizing ethical issues of the TESC and how this related to ethical content coverage in construction programs' curricula. In addition, regarding participants of this study, there were significant differences found in student level of ethical sensitivity based on program of enrollment; however, there were no significant differences found based on student recollection of the placement of ethics in their curriculum, professional experience, age, or gender. It appears that ethics education has some influence on the professional ethical sensitivity of construction students; however, more research is necessary to confirm the degree of influence. Additional research is necessary to identify the most current and critical ethical issues of the construction industry to develop an auxiliary form of the TESC while controlling for other variables such as co-curricular and personal experiences.Ph.

Oral BiologyM.S.
The American Association of Orthodontists(AAO) adopted its Code of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct in May of 1994. This document is meant to provide guidelines for ethical behavior amongst orthodontic professionals. Its main purpose is to protect the public from ethically unsound actions that could be committed by members of the AAO. All members of the AAO agree to abide by the Code, as stated within its preamble: "By accepting membership, all members assume an obligation of self-discipline above and beyond the requirements of laws and regulations, in accordance with these Principles." This study represents a critique of the AAO Code. As the field of medical ethics evolves, so must the documents that govern ethical behavior. The last revision took place in May of 2009 and the wording of the current document can be misinterpreted or abused. The current code leans heavily towards an Agent/Commercial model of practice, where the Orthodontist's role is influenced greatly by patient request and business ambitions. The purpose of this study was to utilize accepted schools of thought in ethical literature to do the following: (1) Point out ethical flaws and weak points in the AAO Code. (2) Present corrections for the Code in order to clarify potential points of contention. These corrections will articulate rules that promote a partnership between practitioner and patient. To accomplish these goals, the Code will be analyzed, line by line, for redundancies, faults, or potential misinterpretations. Principles and Advisory Opinions which can be improved upon will be labeled as "weak." All weak statements will be reformed in a manner where the weak aspects no longer play a role in the Code. The reformed statements will promote the Partnership model of practice in favor of Agent and Commercial models. The Conclusions of the study are as follows: (1) Principle I can be improved by changing it to the following phrase: Members shall be dedicated to providing the highest possible quality orthodontic care to his/her patients within standards commensurate with the accepted science and techniques of orthodontics, the clinical aspects of the patient's condition, and with due consideration being given to the needs and desires of the doctor and patient within a relationship based on partnership. (2)Advisory Opinion IE. should be changed to the following: A second opinion should include a diagnosis and treatment plan recommended to the patient. It must be honest and focus on the facts presented. It is unethical to propound a specific technique, philosophy, training or ability as superior without presenting scientific literature, at least summarized or simplified, to the patient to support claims made. A second opinion must disclose to the patient any conflict of interest of the member providing the opinion. (3) The phrasing of Advisory Opinion IF. is made stronger with the following wording: Patients should be informed of their oral health status without disparaging comments about the patient's prior treatment.(4) The phrasing of Advisory Opinion IG. is made stronger with the following wording: Members should inform their patients of their prognosis, any proposed treatment, and any reasonable alternatives, so that the patient understands their treatment decisions.

This thesis provides a critical evaluation of a real world project involving the researcher as leader of a review and subsequent development of a new Code of Conduct for the world’s largest health and safety body, the Institution of Occupational Safety Health (IOSH, 2011). The health and safety profession in the UK has seen many changes over the last 10-years, in particular a stronger focus on degree education, continual professional development (CPD) and Chartered Practitioner status. In addition to these progressive changes the profession has also seen a rise in the negative media coverage regarding reported risk aversion in decision-making processes. In response to the negative media and at the request of the conservative party, then in opposition, Lord Young led a complete review of health and safety in Great Britain(Young, 2010). More recently, the Government requested a further independent review into health and safety legislation (Löfstedt, 2011). Since the publication of these reports there have been calls for more rigorous competence standards for consultants and a move towards more industry led self-regulation. This has seen IOSH placed in a strong influencing position, albeit with added scrutiny of its own regulation of members. The researcher led a critical review of the existing Code as part of an IOSH standing Committee, the Profession Committee (PC) that has the responsibility among other things for examining allegations of misconduct. The project was conducted as action research and was divided into 4 cycles or stages. Stage 1 involved the critical review and benchmarking of the existing Code against other Codes using an adaptation of the PARN criteria. Stage 2 involved the consultation process for the development of a new Code. This included the researcher’s role as leader of the project and an evaluation of misconduct cases reviewed by the PC. Stage 3 involved semi-structured interviews of practitioners to explore experiential accounts of ethical issues from practice to inform the guidance on the Code. Finally, Stage 4 involved the concluding consultation and consolidation of all the stages for presentation of the revised Code to IOSH Council for approval. The project reinforced the benefits of applying a systematic approach for the development of professional body documentation. It also revealed the value of applying a flexible iterative methodology in the real world environment to prevent the project from diverging from its real world objectives. The outcome of the project has been positively received by IOSH. A new Code was produced with guidance and a revised disciplinary procedure that is fit for purpose and adaptable to change through the use of robust development and broad consultation processes. It is anticipated that these changes will make a significant contribution to the wider profession and practice. An ethical decision making model was developed from the findings and includes a dissemination strategy for the profession.

Unethical behavior includes all decisions and actions counterproductive to an organization's mission and can cause irrevocable damage to the organization's professional reputation. The Securities and Exchange Commission reported 807 ethical violations in 2015. This study was underpinned by the ethical leadership theory, which emphasizes leadership decision making based on fair and just practices, for all involved parties. The purpose of this qualitative multiple-case study was to explore the ethical decision-making best practices that not-for-profit accounting managers in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area needed to strengthen the ethical decision-making process in their organizations. Data were collected through semistructured interviews from 5 participants who were accounting leaders of not-for-profit organizations. The analysis of data involved coding techniques, while member checking ensured confirmability of participant responses. Three themes emerged from the analysis of data as the most effective in fostering an ethical climate within the organizations, notably: the importance of leveraging internal controls, staff education on ethical decision making, and the role of leadership in fostering ethical leadership. The findings from this study may contribute to social change by providing leaders with strategies to reduce the occurrence of fraud within organizations. The beneficiaries of this research may include not-for-profit leaders, accounting professionals, and business practitioners. The goals of these individuals are to aid companies in furthering their missions and ensure organizations remain operational and utilize ethical decision making.

Although the practice ethics of many professions have been investigated in various empirical studies, those of the emerging environmental profession have received little research attention, notwithstanding community need for trust in ethical environmental experts, and the adversarial nature of practice. In Australasia, young professionals in environmental disciplines express concern and confusion regarding professional and environmental ethics, despite the currency of a code of ethics developed by the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand (EIANZ). As a senior environmental professional involved in certifying practitioners, I wished to contribute to the profession by researching the ‘field-tested’ ethical principles of fellow practitioners with 20 to 40 years of experience.
Fourteen (14) seasoned environmental practitioners participated in semistructured interviews to explore how they construct meaning for their practices with respect to ethical principles, using techniques appropriate for ‘insider’ research. Literature review confirmed that the appropriate theoretical basis for such an investigation is qualitative, and in particular a phenomenological / interpretivist approach (within a constructionist paradigm) and a role identity perspective.
Interpretivist phenomenological analysis indicated that the ethical principles and environmental values of seasoned practitioners are personal and largely based on childhood and early influences, adapted to meet the situations and context of their discipline, profession, type of practice and public or private sector. Coding and iterative analysis of interview transcripts by themes and sub-themes revealed patterns and general agreement on many principles, as well as outlier approaches and omissions. Ethical principles comprise one of four broad groups of interacting influences on professional environmental practice, according to a model proposed in this thesis, the others being professional identity, capabilities and contribution.
Thematic analysis revealed three broad integrity principles (professional, technical and process integrity) generally consistent with the principles of a science-based profession, with emphasis on truth, competence, rigour and impartiality. These, together with the virtue ethic of resolve (the courage to hold firm to principles under pressure) are expressed by practitioners in three ways - as important principles for their own practices, as advice they would give to juniors, and also (conversely) as criteria for judging unethical practice. Based on case studies discussed in interviews, an ethical acceptability spectrum model is proposed whereby the persuasive capacity of practitioners to achieve better environmental outcomes is critical in addressing compromises and reducing ethical dilemmas.
This study also revealed five ‘professional identity perspectives’ which correlate with individual practitioner roles, ethical priorities and decision-making. The practitioners interviewed for this research generally adopted perspectives of an objective scientist, problem-solver, balance-seeker, environmental advocate or practice manager, or adopted dual or changeable perspectives depending on the situation. Although this research has been a preliminary study, this typology suggests avenues for further research into different expressions of ethical principles among environmental practitioners, and different ways of addressing the tension between professional and environmental ethics.
Ethical principles are recommended for environmental practice which combine professional codes with the practice wisdom of seasoned practitioners. Four primary ethical obligations emerge: responsibilities to clients, to truth, to environmental harm reduction and to one’s own moral principles. This thesis also suggests, as an aspirational adaptation of Kant’s categorical principle, a ‘categorical sustainability imperative’ viz. act only according to that maxim that your actions, if adopted universally, would sustain human society and all forms of life indefinitely.
Among the implications of this research is that ethics education is inadequately addressed in environmental degree courses to date, and that professional institutes could also play a larger role in providing guidelines, moral leadership and continuing professional development, including ethical decision-making and scenario training. Another implications of this investigation, both for institutes and for environmental education, is that a ‘one size fits all’ approach to professional ethics may be inappropriate, as practitioners need a framework of principles within which they can develop ethical guidelines appropriate for their professional identity perspectives, as well as their role, situation and context.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

This study considers the way teacher professional identity and ethics come into tension with governing policies in education.
Informed by institutional ethnography, the research is a case study of a public secondary school in Sydney, Australia. This case study begins from the standpoint of five teachers, mapping outwards through significant policy texts to the ‘ruling relations’ and discourses that articulate a vision of teacher professionalism in New South Wales. A series of classroom observations contrast these governing discourses with the material reality of the classroom. In this way the design of the study mirrors the tension between neoliberal policy and the practices of teachers as they engage in policy enactment.
Through the course of this research, a mandated professional development process emerged as a significant mode of discursive governance that conceptualises professional identity in particular ways. Reflecting neoliberal accountability approaches as well as diluted goals of ‘equity and excellence’ expressed in Australian education policy, this process purports to define teachers’ work and professionalism. While teachers find the process useful, it contributes to the growth in administrative workload that is emblematic of neoliberalism. This thesis understands policy enactment as involving practices of attachment, aversion, and indifference, designed to mitigate the impacts on teacher workload of new accountability demands and frequent policy changes. However, there is also an excessive and contingent dimension to classroom practice for which teachers must also prepare: something that cannot be captured in policy and paperwork. This dimension demands a strong sense of ethical identity and professionalism; practices that are not privileged in the quantifiable, thinned-out logic of neoliberalism.
This thesis contributes to ethical and political debates about the nature of teacher professional identity under neoliberalism. It argues that teachers have a role as ‘truth speakers’ as well as an ethical duty of care to help their students prepare for the challenges of a transformed and transforming world. While professional development processes may be helpful in developing some elements of pedagogical and professional practice, this thesis shows that the attitudinal and ethical domains of teacher professional learning deserve a greater emphasis in education policymaking, and teachers deserve greater freedom to strengthen the moral and transformative capabilities of their students.

The purpose of this study is to investigate ethical dilemmas and ethical difficulties experienced by psychologists in Sweden and South Africa. The study is a replication of previous studies conducted by Colnerud (1997) and Slack and Wassenaar (1999). A sample of 295 psychologists in Sweden and 312 psychologists in South Africa were asked to describe situations that they identified as ethically difficult. 53 psychologists in Sweden described 61 incidents and 21 psychologists in South Africa described 24 situations. This corresponds to a response rate of 20% in Sweden and 8% in South Africa. The reported dilemmas were categorized according to a qualitative content analysis developed by Pope and Vetter (1992). The contribution of this study is that the results confirm that confidentiality is a prominent ethical dilemma for psychologists in Sweden and South Africa. This finding is consistent with findings in comprehensive international research. Furthermore, the results indicate that psychologists, especially in Sweden, experience ethical problems due to weakened legitimacy when conducting assessments. The results are discussed taking into consideration the different contexts in which psychologists work, the application of different ethics codes and different levels of ethical awareness. The weaknesses of the study and the method used are also discussed.

Public sector lawyers constitute a subset of the profession. However, there is no
requirement that public sector lawyers engage in continuing legal education nor
are they subject to the regulation of the professional legal bodies in Queensland.
There is an absence of analysis and critical reflection about the duties of public
sector lawyers and the means to ensure they engage in ethical conduct. This is
an issue of importance which warrants investigation due to the dual obligations
public sector lawyers owe by virtue of their roles as public servant and lawyer.
There is a gap in the knowledge about the way one section of the legal profession
is regulated and performs their duties. This paper will review and adapt existing
theoretical knowledge about the particular professional obligations of both
lawyers and administrators to construct a framework to be utilised by
Queensland public sector lawyers to guide decision making to ensure it is ethical.
Further, it purports to contribute to the areas of professional conduct and
training of lawyers working specifically for state government agencies in
Queensland by extending the knowledge about the duties of lawyers and public
servants, to formulate the duties which specifically apply to public sector
lawyers working for the Queensland public sector. Existing knowledge about
ethics education and training and adult education theories are combined to
produce the most effective ethics education and training schemes for public
sector lawyers in the Queensland public service.
The focus of the paper is on lawyers employed in the Queensland state public
service. It concerns the dual roles of lawyer and public servant and the duties
which flow from the duality of professional roles. The duties are determined by
the important function performed by the public sector lawyer. It incorporates
the duty to act in the public interest and to see, to the greatest extent possible
that justice is done.
The author proposes that the best way to enhance professional conduct of public
sector lawyers is to simultaneously improve existing regulatory mechanisms by
developing an enforceable code of conduct and establishing an ethics education
and training program for public sector lawyers, to foster a more accountable
government legal service.

This research thesis focuses on the experiences of pre-service drama teachers and considers how process drama may assist them to reflect on key aspects of professional ethics such as mandatory codes or standards, principled moral reasoning, moral character, moral agency, and moral literacy. Research from higher education provides evidence that current pedagogical approaches used to prepare pre –professionals for practice in medicine, engineering, accountancy, business, psychology, counselling, nursing and education, rarely address the more holistic or affective dimensions of professional ethics such as moral character. Process drama, a form of educational drama, is a complex improvisational group experience that invites participants to create and assume roles, and select and manage symbols in order to create a fictional world exploring human experience. Many practitioners claim that process drama offers an aesthetic space to develop a deeper understanding of self and situations, expanding the participant’s consciousness and ways of knowing. However, little research has been conducted into the potential efficacy of process drama in professional ethics education for pre-professionals. This study utilizes practitioner research and case study to explore how process drama may contribute to the development of professional ethics education and pedagogy.

This thesis is a qualitative study that examines the correlation between the activist movement #MeToo and the possible effects it had on journalists’ professional conduct with regard to ethics, through the theoretical framework of journalism culture and patriotic journalism. The analysis is based on six semi- structured interviews with journalists that were involved in publications during the height of the #MeToo movement in Sweden. The study indicates that the movement influenced the informants, several found it difficult to differentiate the personal and work-related impact it had on them at the time. Their intense coverage of the movement was fueled by the engaged public, as well as the activist movement itself, which could be interpreted as market orientation or interventionism – or both. Their expressed solidarity with the movement’s values and goals, as well as the fact that their own industry had a specific #MeToo- campaign, positioned the journalists between their solidarity to the society and their professional identity.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Professional Access Control (PAC) is a self-administrating access control model for professional users which employs a peer review process and oversight by system administrators. It is characterised by the existence of ethical controls on the relationships between the users (those accessing data or granting access privileges to others) and data owners. Investigations revealed that the issue of availability was crucial to users in the hospital domain studied, and that to minimise the administrative burden on system administrators, the users needed to take some of the load. These factors led to the development of the new Trusted Access Control (TAC) model which gives users control. TAC is a fundamental access control model, complementary to the well-known Mandatory Access Control (MAC) and Discretionary Access Control (DAC) models. PAC uses TAC at its core and also incorporates Role Based Access Control (RBAC) and Provision Based Access Control (PBAC). This gives it the flexibility and user-friendliness necessary in the hospital environment, while still providing a high degree of data confidentiality and integrity protection. The required PAC functionality has been built into an Oracle package which can be used by new and existing applications, making it a viable access control solution for complex environments such as hospitals. When enabled workflow applications use the Oracle package, access control is automatically effected behind-the-scene, providing both usability benefits and reduced administrative burden.

In an attempt to describe the nature of recent journal literature revolving around the eleven core values of librarianship, as articulated by the American Library Association, this exploratory study analyzed 114 articles from four peer-reviewed library publications over the past five years (2002-2006): College & Research Libraries, Library Trends, Library Quarterly, and portal: Libraries and the Academy. This content analysis noted the levels of complexity with which the core values were discussed, the frequencies of the eleven core values (access, confidentiality/privacy, democracy, diversity, education and lifelong learning, intellectual freedom, preservation, public good, professionalism, service, and social responsibility), and the types of library environments found in the journal literature. The results are intended as a catalyst for the library profession to examine the way it discusses core values and uses them to guide and inform professional practice.

2008 saw the implementation of a new Ethics and Religious Culture program in Québec classrooms. This program replaces the former religious and moral instruction courses and has the potential for being ground-breaking and transformative. In order to teach this program teachers are required to adopt a professional stance of objectivity and impartiality. Although a beginning exploration, this thesis demonstrates that cultural norms of Whiteness are impeding the successful implementation of the new ERC program. The majority of pre-service teachers are white, Christian and female who are unaware of privilege and who enter teaching with the objective to civilizing their students. Observations of and discussions with both pre-service and classroom teachers indicate a dialogue has begun and that more self-examination and critical reflection is necessary before this program can experience success.En 2008, dans les écoles du Québec, on a mis en œuvre un nouveau programme d'éthique et de culture religieuse. Ce programme vient remplacer les anciens cours d'instruction religieuse et morale et pourrait être innovateur et transformateur. Il est requis que les enseignants qui enseigneront ce cours adoptent une attitude d'objectivité et d'impartialité.Bien que cette thèse ne soit qu'un début d'exploration, elle prouve que les normes culturelles de la blancheur nuisent au succès de la mise en œuvre du nouveau programme ÉCR. La plupart des professeurs qui ont l'intention d'enseigner le cours sont caucasiennes, chrétiennes et des femmes, qui ne sont pas conscientes des privilèges et se lancent dans l'enseignement dans le but de civiliser leurs élèves.L'observation des enseignants et enseignantes avant qu'ils ne commencent leur carrière et en cours de route, ainsi que les discussions avec eux et elles, indiquent qu'un dialogue a été amorcé et que plus de prise de conscience de soi et de réflexion critique seront nécessaires avant que ce programme ne puisse réussir.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
This study is an inquiry into the professional identity constructions of early childhood educators, where identity is conceptualised as social and contextual. Through a genealogical analysis of narratives of four Queensland early childhood teachers, the thesis renders as problematic universal and fixed notions of what it is to be an early childhood professional. The data are the four teachers’ professional life history narratives recounted through a series of conversational interviews with each participant. As they spoke about professionalism and ethics, these teachers struggled to locate themselves as professionals, as they drew on a number of dominant discourses available to them. These dominant discourses were located and mapped through analysis of the participants’ talk about relationships with parents, colleagues and authorities. Genealogical analysis enabled multiple readings of the ways in which the participants’ talk held together certainties and uncertainties, as they recounted their experiences and spoke of early childhood expertise, relational engagement and ethics. The thesis concludes with suggestions for ways to support early childhood teachers and pre-service teachers to both engage with and resist normative processes and expectations of professional identity construction. In so doing, multiple and contextual opportunities can be made available when it comes to being professional and ‘doing’ ethics. The thesis makes an argument for new possibilities for thinking and speaking professional identities that include both certainty and uncertainty, comfort and discomfort, and these seemingly oppositional terms are held together in tension, with an insistence that both are necessary and true. The use of provocations offers tools through which pre-service teachers, teachers and teacher educators can access new positions associated with certainties and uncertainties in professional identities. These new positions call for work that supports experiences of ‘de-comfort’ – that is, experiences that encourage early childhood educators to step away from the comfort zones that can become part of expertise, professional relationships and ethics embedded within normative representations of what it is to be an early childhood professional.

Thesis (M.Sc. (Curations)) --University of Limpopo, 2015The purpose of the study was to determine the experiences of professional nurses with ethical dilemmas at the Witbank hospital Nkangala district Mpumalanga province. The objectives of the study were to describe the experiences of professional nurses with ethical dilemmas in nursing practice and to determine supportive measures to help professional nurses to deal with ethical dilemmas encountered in nursing practice. The research question was: what are the ethical dilemmas that professional nurses experience in nursing practice? Kohlberg theory of moral development was used as a theoretical framework. A qualitative exploratory, descriptive and contextual research design was used to describe the experiences of professional nurses with ethical dilemmas in nursing practice. Purposive sampling was used to sample fourteen (14) professional nurses. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews. Open-coding method of data analysis was used and four themes and sub-themes emerged. The study found that professional nurses experience ethical dilemmas related to death and dying, distribution of both human and material resources, respect of patients’ autonomy and the nurses’ rights. The study recommends continuous ethics education and the inclusion of ethics in nursing curricula, creation of a supportive working environment, knowledge and understanding of the pledge of service, Inter- disciplinary teams to discuss ethical issues, availability of ethics experts and ethics mentors in the wards.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
In January 2000, an inexperienced young psychologist was jailed in Queensland for perjuring herself1 about the sexual relationships she was having with male inmates in a Queensland prison. Several years earlier, an experienced senior psychologist in Queensland DCS was jailed for the abuse of male inmates who complied with his sexual demands in return for favourable parole reports. Colleagues incredulously shook their heads and wondered why? How did these relationships, whether abusive or not, develop? Were they a product of the types of individuals involved? Were they, as some theorists would argue, for personal gain such as sexual services, status and power? Were the non-custodial staff members poor ethical decision-makers? Were they or the inmates attempting to redress the imbalance of power? Did lack of adequate training and preparedness for the toughness and harshness of a prison environment, or the inadequacy of ethical training contribute? What role did poor management, lack of adequate supervision or inadequate or absent regulation play? Did the 'culture' of a correctional centre, similar to that observed in policing, impact on both staff and inmates to the extent that cognitive neutralisations could be developed to justify the behaviours? To answer 'why', this thesis specifically examined the nature of unacceptable relationships between inmates and non-custodial staff, whether in the form of minor professional boundary transgressions, official misconduct or outright corruption, and asked: What key factors in a correctional environment initiate misconduct, and, once facilitated, permit its continuance? Examination of the literature to locate this problem revealed multiple theoretical perspectives (individual, regulatory, organisational and situational), with little in the way of previous empirical studies. Therefore, a framework of explanation was developed from Ekblom and Tilley's Conjunction of Criminal Opportunity (2000) model, incorporating components of Tittle's (1995) balance of control theory and Tsang's (2002) notion of moral rationalisation. A multi-method research design that could triangulate quantitative and qualitative outcomes from three studies, test a case 'While under investigation by the Queensland Criminal Justice Commission' study, and sequentially build information against the model of explanation, was proposed. Subsequently, the second research question asked was: Can the factors, once identified, be applied to a model of explanation that posits that crime occurs with the conjunction of a number of situational opportunities and a well-resourced offender? The findings of the three studies contribute significantly to the field of penology and criminology, not only because they present a typology of non-custodial staff behaviours for the first time, but also because they identify a number of important processes and factors involved in the interaction between non-custodial staff and inmates. Primary amongst these was the influence of an unethical managerial culture within the correctional centre and the lack of rigorous regulation to encourage compliance with codes of conduct. The use of moral rationalisations that appealed to the higher professional good were suggested by staff as a means of neutralising minor boundary transgressions, as were the distortion of any negative consequences. Initial boundary crossings appear to be done more often than not in good faith, but represent the 'soft capture' of professional staff attempting to juggle the dual role of compassionate humanitarian with the demands of the secure good order of the prison. Equally, inmates, in their attempt to gain some control over their environment may allow staff to abuse their positions for fear of retribution or for favours. Induction or ethics training did not seem to make any difference to the perception of misconduct, and in fact, when non-custodial staff undertook the harsher, security-oriented training for custodial staff, they were more likely to be accepting of certain types of misconduct. Abuse of confidential information, and to a lesser extent negligence and deliberate indifference, were perceived by inmates as the worst forms of professional misconduct, yet non-custodial staff underestimated the power of information within a prison as negotiable currency. Equally, inmates were better able to predict the perceptions of non-custodial staff than vice-versa, indicting that they 'knew' staff, could recognise those who were vulnerable, and subsequently 'groom' them to transgress minor professional boundaries. Although some evidence existed that there were higher levels of acceptance of misconduct in rural or regional correctional centres, away from the central locus of control of the DCS head Office in Brisbane city, the mixed gender of inmates in these centres as opposed to the city-based centres may have also influenced the results. The portrayal of inmate masculinity within a system of punishment, amongst female professional staff is a more contentious issue and features in the final recommendations made in this thesis, along with others related to increasing the capacity of crime preventers and decreasing the capacity of crime promoters in the prison environment. Finally, the thesis asked whether it was possible to effectively research the sensitive topic of corruption and misconduct in the threatening world of a prison? Prisons are de-humanising environments that are traditionally defensive and aggressive, and asking about the secretive side of misconduct posed ethical dilemmas and methodological challenges, both for the researched and the researcher. However, by adopting components of Appreciative Inquiry (Liebling, Price & Elliot, 1999) and principled intimacy (D. Kennedy, 1997), it was possible to rigorously research the sensitive and sometimes dangerous topic of corruption in Queensland's correctional centres. Nonetheless, it was done so at the cost of non-custodial staff respondent identification. Although their willingness to participate might have reflected their desire to equally understand 'why', the non-custodial staff only did so if they were able to remain anonymous. This limitation of the study suggests that a culture of secrecy and fear of retribution still remains in Queensland's correctional centres despite efforts from regulatory bodies within the Qld Department of Corrective Services, and externally, to rectify the situation. The challenge therefore is for the findings of this research to be implemented into practical changes that reduce the likelihood of entrapment of non-custodial staff, that decrease the abuse of power that staff have over inmates, that recognises the adaptation that inmates must make to survive in a de-humanising environment, and that increases the ethical management of prisons.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

This portfolio and the project described therein, focus on applied professional ethics for early childhood education settings, particularly during fieldwork, for students and practising professionals. It contains the results of a four year project of research, its synthesis and its dissemination as articles, book chapters, conference presentations and papers and teaching resource materials. Specifically, the materials presented here focus on the resolution of dilemmas using the Ethical Response Cycle, a new model for responding ethically to problematic situations. The model is represented as a cyclical diagram depicting the ongoing, fluid and non-hierarchical nature of ethical judgement that is needed by professionals in any problematic situation. The model includes phases which are underpinned and supported by reflective thinking and negotiation, and are based on Western ethical positions. Suggestions for further research are made.Doctor of Education ( Ed.D.)

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
The purpose of this study was to investigate adult educators' attitudes regarding the need for a code of ethics to guide their practice. Through the use of survey methodology, three major groups of adult education practitioners in Indiana responded to various questions about ethical dilemmas they had encountered, their personal experiences with codes of ethics, and their perceptions of the need for a code, as well as their ideas regarding the creation and implementation of a code of ethics for adult education.This study produced eight major findings regarding ethics and codes of ethics for adult educators:1). The majority of Indiana adult basic educators, American Society for Training and Development members within Indiana, and the Indiana Council for Continuing Education believe there should be a code of ethics for them as adult educators.2). The majority of practitioners do not cite situations encountered that have created ethical dilemmas for them.3). The two most frequently cited ethical dilemmas involve confidentiality concerns and ownership of instructional materials.4). The overwhelming majority of Indiana adult basic educators, American Society for Training and Development members in the state of Indiana and the Indiana Council on continuing Education members have had limited experience with codes of ethics.5). Even though there appears to be a lack of experience withcodes, the majority of practitioners feel positive about the functions of codes of ethics.6). Learner-centered issues are most frequently cited as issues a code for adult education should address.7). Across the total study population, the professional association is the favored organization to create and disseminate a code of ethics.8). It is not clear to adult educators whether a code of ethics should have a regulating function.Results of this study indicate that organizations associated with adult education should seriously consider codes of ethics. However, the results do not overwhelmingly indicate a code should be adopted. Many practitioners (28%) were not sure about the need for a code, largely because of problems associated with implementation and enforcement of a code. More emphasis on providing practitioners with training and education regarding ethics and more research conducted on ethics in adult education are suggested.Department of Educational Leadership

Interpretation 101-3 of the AICPA Code of Professional Ethics provides four independence requirements for certified public accountants performing bookkeeping services. As such, these requirements are largely thought of as rules requiring compliance. The purpose of this study was to provide empirical evidence related to the question, "Can the guidelines in Interpretation 101-3 be effectively interpreted?" Accordingly, the research objectives were twofold: (1) to make an estimate of the effectiveness of independence discrimination resulting from the use of Interpretation 101-3 , and (2) to identify variables related to differences in CPAs' judgements of impairment and non-impairment of CPA independence in situations covered by Interpretation 101-3. The research methodology for this study was based on a case approach. Twelve situations developed from analysis of Interpretation 101-3 and discussions with practitioners were organized into twenty-four cases in which a CPA firm provided a variety of accounting services. These twenty-four cases were divided into two case sets of twelve cases each and then combined with two cases from a previous study by David Lavin. These cases were submitted to an expert panel for validation as to their relationship to Interpretation 101-3, and a predetermined "correct" judgement was established for use in analysis. A mail survey of the licensees of the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy was used for collecting data. The CPAs were provided with a copy of Interpretation 101-3 and asked to base their judgements exclusively on the standard. Hypothesis testing was used to determine the effectiveness of the independence discrimination resulting from the use of Interpretation 101-3. Statistical models were developed for evaluating differences in the effectiveness of independence discrimination and differences in the CPAs' judgements themselves.
