LEARNER ETHICS-4

 LEARNER ETHICS-4    

 [A silent process of shaping-3].

In my basic understanding ‘ethics’ gets infused into minds from day-to-day happenings/ observation.  That means teachers can set ready examples as practitioners of ethical principles instead of just tendering advice now and then. 

With a certain level of conviction I can say that “practice what you preach” works like a panacea while oral suggestions quickly fall by the wayside. Young minds simply assess the veracity of utterance for its relevance as a practice and are not keen to abide by any advocacy.

A variety of functional traditions lay bare before our students to see ‘how much of it do we ourselves subscribe to' by adherence. The total scores that a teacher manages to win by physical adherence makes the person n a ‘role model’.

It is significant to remember for every teacher that [s]he ought to be a practitioner instead of being a mere preacher.  

It all begins with ‘Punctuality’. It is the foremost signal that the person is serious about what [s]he does. Sticking to punctuality places secondary demands on the observer. 

Having come on time, it is illogical not to while away the time. Having enforced punctuality, the teacher has to transact business. Otherwise observance of punctuality would just be a ritual. Ritualistic observances fail to convince   anyone of any value.

Dedicated approach

 While at work, the natural expectation is-- the teacher would take pains to thoroughly appraise the wards of the innate intricacies in a subject domain. Only high level precision in explaining concepts can satisfy the learners of the ‘much demanded’ punctuality.

Neutral stance

A teacher ought to be equally concerned of the welfare of members of either gender. Impartial outlook in educating members of either gender is a basic demand on any educator. After all, one is a teacher for ‘all’.

The attitude of neutrality must reflect itself in any reward or reprimand. Merits of equal calibre deserve identical appreciation. Likewise offences too deserve same reprimand irrespective of gender. Neutral attitudes must be clear during sessions of teaching and evaluation as well.
