Abstract

The context of the research issue: Education exists within limits established by applicable laws and regulations; these clearly define rights and duties. Ethics has a large part to play here. Is it necessary to add an educational code of ethics to the existing laws? Objective: The main objective of the study is to answer the question: Do education workers require an educational code of ethics? And if so, to what extent? Methodology: A literature search to analyse and compare ethical codes, as well as foreign and local examples. The empirical section of the study describes the quantitative research. The data for the research was acquired using a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire contained open and closed questions. At the end, information about the respondents was gathered. The questionnaire was carried out using snowball sampling. The evaluation was carried out by determining frequencies, comparing and correlating them, including the appropriate statistical tests. The correlation calculations were made using the Gretl programme, and the relationships were interpreted according to de Vaus, 2002. Results: Six correlations were statistically significant. The respondents demonstrated a knowledge of the legal measures in ethics, though naturally these were viewed as insufficient, which was why the creation of an educational code of ethics was considered desirable. The correlations point to a lack of definition of ethical themes, insufficient enforcement of ethics and the need to change the powers for individual participants in the education process. Discussion: One limitation of the research is the method of collecting data as the group of respondents is not sufficiently stratified. The sample can be termed as accessible in terms of time, resources and availability
