In this chapter, we will first provide background information on how ethics were introduced in the field of school administration and then present two emerging trends in Canada. Next, we will make connections between our views on ethics and applied ethics to argue in favor of a major concept in ethics: ethical sensitivity. In light of this context, we suggest furthering this ongoing development jointly with educational leaders by showing that ethical sensitivity is a potential driver of social change.

Self-Interest, Self-Deception and the Ethics of Commerce

June 2004 · Journal of Business Ethics

Mohammed Ali Khan

On taking the common distinction between the legal and the ethical as a point of departure, and in an effort to understand Marshall's approach to self-interest, and thereby to his conception of an ethics of commerce, I read three of his essays in the light of some non-technical writings of Frank Hahn and three other Cambridge intellectuals. My larger project connects self-interest and ...

The pedagogical and ethical legacy of a “successful” educational reform: The Citizen School Project

February 2016 · International Review of Education

The Citizen School Project (Escola Cidadã) was implemented from 1993 to 2004 in Porto Alegre, capital of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. This article presents the conception behind the Citizen School Project, the basic mechanisms created to implement and evaluate its strengths and weaknesses, and some of its contradictions. After contextualising the educational reforms in Brazil during ... [Show full abstract] the 1980s and 1990s, the authors demonstrate how the Citizen School Project’s emphasis on participation and democratisation was a radical departure from Brazil’s traditional public education system. Next, they present the three main goals and structures of the Citizen School Project – democratisation of access to schools, democratisation of schools’ administration, and democratisation of access to knowledge. They conclude by discussing some pedagogic, social and political dynamics which appear to be strong legacies of this pedagogical project. The authors also argue that the Citizen School Project has both improved the quality of education in Porto Alegre and is an important contribution to our collective thinking about the politics of “successful” educational policies.

Ethical theory and practice: Is there a gap?

August 1984 · Journal of Business Ethics

John Hoaglund

Archie Bahm argued recently that there is a gap between theoretical and applied ethics, and that those working in applied ethics must assume the burden of bridging it. Evidence of a gap is considerable, but it seems also partly due to much ethical theory having relatively little to offer to those grappling with practical moral problems. Some aspects of utilitarian theory are examined in this ... [Show full abstract] connection. Finally it is suggested that other areas of theory developing new models of man may partly bridge the gap and aid those dealing with problems of moral decision-making.

Real-world pedagogical ethics: Mission impossible?

July 2003 · Teacher Development

Jukka Husu

The article presents three different reference points in teachers' ethical reflections on ‘the best interests of students’. The theoretical framework is built both on teachers' implied meta-ethics and their applied ethical interpretations of these premises. The focus is on the ethics of background beliefs, ethics of guiding rules and principles, and ethics of dilemma managing, together with ... [Show full abstract] practical and philosophical perspectives. The data present a narrative interview from a secondary school teacher. The study has applied a qualitative reading guide method to analyse a case from different ethical reference points. The goal is to show how teachers' ethical judgement can be translated into real-world ethics in education and how these reference points can help teachers in their professional development.

Thomas A. Regelski

This article discusses key aspects of ethics that merit being acknowledged if teaching music in schools is to be most fully ethical. Ethics is a complex and highly contested philosophical discipline. The article sums up three formal ethical theories-duty, consequentialist, and virtue ethics-and common grounds that have been identified between or among them which can contribute to an applied, ...

Cultural Dimensions, Ethical Sensitivity, and Corporate Governance

September 2012 · Journal of Business Ethics

The economic globalization process has integrated different competitive markets and pushes firms in different countries to improve their managerial and operational efficiencies. Given the recent empirical evidence for the benefits to firms and stakeholders of good corporate governance (CG) practice, it is expected that good CG practice would be a common strategy for firms in different countries ... [Show full abstract] to meet the increasingly intense competition; however, this is not the case. This study examines the differences in CG practices in firms across different countries using the concept of ethical sensitivity. Through the regression analysis of 271 firms in 12 countries and regions, it is found that Hofstede’s cultural dimensions can explain the differences in CG practices. Furthermore, the results demonstrate the influence of culture on ethical sensitivity, which eventually determines the CG practices in different regions.
