Ethics

The overall background of the participants of the project

Name of the School (where the action research was conducted):

School Name

The overall background of the participants of the project; area / Area: (socio-economic status, occupation/profession – earning trends of majority of the parents, literacy rate, academic quality, and any other special trait of the community where the Area is situated).

This action research was conducted in School Name

School Background:

In general, the structure of the school was huge and lovely. The school had a lovely playground and parking. Classes are better in condition. The environment of the school was great, better for learning and secure for children.

Participants Background:

The participants of the study were secondary (10th) grade children and their teachers who were enrolled in School Name…... I selected secondary (10th) grade children and their teachers which are considered in total of 32 members.

Socio Economic Status:

Socioeconomic status is the social standing or class of an individual or group. It is often measured as a combination of education, income and occupation. Examinations of socioeconomic status often reveal inequities in access to resources, plus issues related to privilege, power and control. Most of peoples from this area are Govt. employee but some of them are shopkeeper or work in a private offices. Most of parents do not afford children education due to their family expenses and their low income but some parents support their children at higher level in well reputed universities. But due to the lack of higher educational institute and low income of their parents, more than 60% children stop their education after matriculation. Overall the financial status of this area is not good.

Occupation & Earning Trend:

Parents with Govt. jobs and small businessman are in a better condition to help and support their children educationally, mentally and profoundly. However, Parents with low income because of expenses and low salaries issues can’t give satisfactory to up level their children education. The control of the Parents in this research from this area is normal. A part of the Parents are not monetarily so good. The children who Parents with government jobs are more verified and their family finds a sense of contentment moderately contrasted with the individuals who work in private association. They are consistently in dissatisfaction. Due to low earning trend of this area, the children face a great deal of difficulties both at home and school, which block them from taking an interest completely in classroom exercises. In present some parents drop their children at different shop for learning work and for earning but today due to free education in Pakistan more than 80% children go to school till then matriculation.

Literacy Rate:

In 2019, City Name’s literacy rate of 66% for females was noticeably lower than the 79% for males.

Why did you select this specific sub-theme and topic? Relate it to your experience/problem in your classroom/institution.

I am a trainee teacher by Aiou and I selected school Name for my research project. As action research was totally based on local level. I choose School Name for my action research I choose my research topic “Develop ethics among student of grade 8” Researcher being a teacher lot of experience about different school and collages level but research analyses one problem of lack of ethics development of a child at 10th level, By understanding and implementing scientific attitude among students for ethics development of students at High class can perform better in their classroom and its positive impact in their socio-emotional development and educational career.

I selected this topic and sub theme topic to point out and investigate that ethics development among students through teaching scientific attitude is ignored in our school system, teachers are not paying practical attention to address this issue , Although it is an important and an integral part of the learning process. Ethics development is an essential part of any student-centered classroom.

Etymologically, “ethics” is derived from the Greek word “ethos” which means “character” or “conduct”. Ethics is not limited to the actions or behaviors of an individual but includes practices of a profession, an organization, a government agency or a corporation. Philosophers and moral ethicists have historically fallen into two camps when considering the topic of ethics in relation to the individual and society. I state that one of the principal goal of teacher’s work is to help remove the hurdles that teachers face every day in order to do their jobs. When I stress the importance of ethics in education, it constitutes the repository of their social and cultural values, and the medium of their historical memory. In common usage multicultural education generally refers to education about different ethnic groups. Educators around the world are faced with new challenges of balancing local, national, and global norms and moral as well as ethical values in the process of educating children. While fostering a sense of citizenship remains an important function of mass schooling, it is becoming less and less viable to do so at the expense of socializing children for their futures in a global society. When deliberating the definition of the term “ethics”, individual teachers, parents, and administrators each have a unique view according to their own lived experiences and positioning. Some rely on words such as “right”, “moral”, “values”; others have been more inclined towards “policy”, “code of conduct”, and “professionalism”. But all generally seem to agree that educators need to be ethical and that educators should have access to training in understanding the ethical issues involved in decision making. Education is a “powerful catalyst, which provides mental, physical, ideological and moral training to individuals, to enable them to have full consciousness of their purpose in life and equip them to achieve that purpose. It is an instrument for spiritual development as well as the material fulfilment of human needs. Within the context of Islamic perception, education is an instrument for developing the attitudes of individuals in accordance with the values of righteousness to help build a sound Islamic society”. The environment is the totality of the natural and social factors, events, phenomena and occurrences that directly or indirectly affect the students’ achievement. Teachers play a key role in renovating the economy of any state.

Personality and ethical grooming are defined as “the characteristics which determine the unique adjustment individuals make to the environment including thoughts, feelings and behaviours which distinguish individuals from others” The term personalization is the “schooling that emphasizes the needs of students as individual human beings and to personalize learning, a teacher must be able to adapt to students particular interests and style”. The institutions have the responsibility to the inclusion of ethical grooming of students and personalization by adopting new methodology and strategies.

What was your discussion with your colleague/friend / senior teacher or supervisor regarding the problem?

After choosing this theme, I discussed this topic with my teachers, friends and supervisor.

Discussion with Supervisor:

My supervisor pointed out that Schools are the best place after the home environment which develops ethics and personality skills among students. The better the school environment, teaching staff, supporting staff, administration and management, better the personality qualities and ethical or life skills bloomed in the students which put a better impact on society as well as on country development. Different pieces of training and seminars conducted in the schools for teaching staff and management for uplifting ethical grooming among students. Different motivational speakers were called for trainings and seminars. In the school level curriculum different topics, history, story and titles like Quaid Azam, Allama Iqbal and Sir Syed Ahmed Khan life are present for flourishing the students’ personality. The students read and learn the life history of different important individuals who participate and uplift human beings. After passing the life of important men, the students enable and live their life according to their parameters.

Discussion with Teacher:

My teacher told me that Personality and ethical grooming are defined as “the characteristics which determine the unique adjustment individuals make to the environment including thoughts, feelings and behaviours which distinguish individuals from others” The term personalization is the “schooling that emphasizes the needs of students as individual human beings and to personalize learning, a teacher must be able to adapt to students particular interests and style”. The institutions have the responsibility to the inclusion of ethical grooming of students and personalization by adopting new methodology and strategies. Ethical grooming is a meaningful change flourished in the students. There are five personality factors like neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness comprised the major focus of ethical grooming system.

Discussion with Friends:

One of my friend pointed about this subtheme that Ethical grooming of the students starts from homes. When the child is born in a healthy grooming environment, feels well and behaves like a good citizen. If the children groomed in lees advantages environment feels upset and badly attitude develops. So, it was the environment and home climate, which update and develop the ethics in the children. Similarly, when children took to enter schools for learning purpose and growth with full confidence. The school does not give education only, but it made a student’s a good citizen of society. It means schools a learning place put a positive influence on the personality development of the students. The institutional climate changes the life of the learners and gives confident, well-disciplined and well-mannered individuals to the society. These individuals work with ethics and enable the society to approach future horizons. Ethical grooming is a compulsory and essential component to live which is developed in schools only.

What did you find about the problem in the existing literature (books/articles/websites)?

Education is a “powerful catalyst, which provides mental, physical, ideological and moral training to individuals, to enable them to have full consciousness of their purpose in life and equip them to achieve that purpose. It is an instrument for spiritual development as well as the material fulfilment of human needs. Within the context of Islamic perception, education is an instrument for developing the attitudes of individuals in accordance with the values of righteousness to help build a sound Islamic society” (Govt. of Pakistan, 1998-2010).

The environment is the totality of the natural and social factors, events, phenomena and occurrences that directly or indirectly affect the students’ achievement (Nayak, 2002). Teachers play a key role in renovating the economy of any state. (Dresser, Rocio, 2013), (Robins, Fraley, Roberts, & Trzesniewski, 2001).

The institutions have the responsibility to the inclusion of ethical grooming of students and personalization by adopting new methodology and strategies (Kan, Sosin & Avin, 2004), (Banin, 2010), (Owitt, 2009), (Calphin, 2009), (Kreitner & kinicki, 2001), (Creemer and Reezigt, 2009).

Ethical grooming is a meaningful change that flourished in the students pointed out by (Heaven, Lesson & Ciarrochi, 2009). John, Robins & Pervin (2008) described five personality factors like neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness comprised the major focus of ethical grooming system (Roberts & Walton, 2006), (Marzano, Pickering & Pollock, 2001), (Vivekananda, 2009), (Larner, 2004). Blatt (2008) defined psychological development as “it is a lifelong personal negotiation between two fundamental dimensions in human affairs and occurs from youth to old age as a synergistic interaction between anaclitic and interjective.

Schools are the best place after the home environment which develops ethics and personality skills among students. The better the school environment, teaching staff, supporting staff, administration and management, better the personality qualities and ethical or life skills bloomed in the students which put a better impact on society as well as on country development. Different pieces of training and seminars conducted in the schools for teaching staff and management for uplifting ethical grooming among students. Different motivational speakers were called for trainings and seminars. In the school level curriculum different topics, history, story and titles like Quaid Azam, Allama Iqbal and Sir Syed Ahmed Khan life are present for flourishing the students’ personality. The students read and learn the life history of different important individuals who participate and uplift human beings. After passing the life of important men, the students enable and live their life according to their parameters (Arshad, Ahmed, Noreen & Shams, 2019), (Rehman & Naz, 2019).

Structure for the governance of adaptation and managing the risk of climate change often lack legitimacy and meaningful representation and are likely to be further stretched given the resource scarcity and potential conflicts caused by climate change impacts. The impacts of climate change are affecting peoples’ lives, livelihood and their opinions are often adopted the shape narrowed (O’ Brien, St. Clair, & Kristoffersen, 2010), (Vasquez, 2011).

The dimensions of personality development must be developed in the students of modern society (Arshad & Qamar, 2018), (Schunk, Meece & Pintrich, 2012). The statement of the problem was “Effect of Institutional Climate on Students Ethical Grooming: A Secondary School Level Study” announced the researcher.

How do you feel about this practice? What have you learned?

I am feeling very satisfied and glad after my research. It was quite interesting and Conflict management experience. Now I am confident after this research. Now I am able to do these all sorts of such tasks.im feeling myself as confident, glad and learnt person. I learnt a lot of new things which I never learnt in my previous life. For example when I talked with senior Teachers and expert people I learnt a lot of skills of writing. When i taught the children then me counsel dictionary and great writers, businessmen and novels .These all things increased my Conflict management also showed them video lesson of some expert and critical writers to teach them. It also helped me to learn new things. This practice also improved my writing skills too.

I also learnt how to write effectively and accurately I have improved my English grimmer. My work has been improved. I learnt new methods of improving writing. I learnt how to write stories in appropriate way. Overall it helped me to develop new writing skills, new way of teaching writing skills. So I am glad to say that it was unforgettable experience of my life. First of all most of us numb the uncomfortable emotions, but unknowingly when we do this research we can also end up numbing our other emotions like joy, peace, happiness, and pleasure. We can’t fully have one without the other.

The first step is always awareness, because once we have awareness we can start to do something about it. Awareness alone won’t help us stop using Conflict management. Awareness after the fact is what I’m talking about here. Starting anything new and trying to create a habit out of it takes work and time. This is one of the reasons I love researching and attending classes as it’s basically a scheduled time in the day, where I have no other distractions, to just be in my routine and notice how I’m feeling. That being said I rarely make it to a class once a week these days, so I do have to find simple and quick ways to connect.

What has it added to your professional skills as a teacher?

It added a lot of new skills to my teaching. It improved my way of teaching. For example, when I talked with senior Teachers and expert people I learnt a lot of skills.

Professional Development:

In this modern, digital age, Teachers need to be flexible and be able to adapt to whatever is thrown their way. New technologies are developed every day that can change the way students learn, and the way Teachers teach. Likewise, administrators are changing and updating expectations and learning standards. Being able to adapt is a skill that every modern teacher must have. If it’s being able to adapt to the way students learn, the behavior their classroom exhibits, or their lesson plans, it is a definitely a trait that is a must-have.

Patience

This is likely the single most important skill. Kids these days are stubborn, and many lack the inherent respect for authority that we were taught at a young age. Spending a single day in a room full of raucous teenagers is enough to send any human being to the Looney bin, which is why every good teacher needs patience in order to find a way to work with his students and earn their respect.

Adaptability

Different kids learn in different ways, and some lessons need unique teaching tools. Good Teachers know how to adapt their lesson plans to their students so that all the kids learn optimally. This trait can take some experience and practice in a classroom setting, so give it time.

Imagination

Whether you teach high Area chemistry or kindergarten, nothing is a more effective tool than using your imagination to create new and motivating ways for your students to learn. You may be inspired by the work of another teacher, mentor or a TV commercial – it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you take the initiative to find new ways for your kids to learn the material.

Teamwork

Teachers could have a hard time without a wide variety of support staff around them. If you feel alone, your Area principal, administrative staff, parent-teacher committee, and more are often available to provide you with help. By working as a team, you may have an easier time increasing your students’ ability to learn and have fun.

Risk Taking

Sometimes to get the big reward, you may need to take a risk. Being a teacher is about finding a way to get kids to learn, and sometimes these new learning methods can be risky. Stick to it and you’ll soon find that others are following your teaching example.
