This paper argues that the way future teachers are being initiated into the ethical dimensions of their future profession is largely out of step with the movement to professionalize teaching. After recalling the role that codes of professional conduct play in the ecology of professional self-regulation, and arguing that familiarizing students with their local code of ethics should be considered is the bare minimum of an adequate ethics education for professionals, the paper presents research findings indicating that education students are not leaving colleges and universities with a clear understanding of what is expected of them by society, their peers and the profession. The paper concludes with three suggestions about how to begin bringing ethics education for teachers more into line with teaching’s aspiration to professional status.

Self-governance of the legal profession, and the promulgation and enforcement of a code of professional conduct are usually justified by arguments from principle, practicality and past practice. None of these can be sustained. However, if professional self-governance were replaced by governmental or judicial regulation, the operational norms of professional conduct

The current study aims to understand the development of students’ professional self-regulation during pedagogical practice. Fifty participants of this study were fourth-year students of the Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University, Ukraine. The following questions were considered: Has any certain level of professional self-regulation been formed before practice? Will it increase during the pedagogical practice? Is it possible to influence the process of formation of future teachers’ professional self-regulation during the pedagogical practice by offering them specific tasks? To diagnose the formation of self-regulatory mechanisms of students during pedagogical practice, we propose to use the phenomenon of readiness (namely, how to determine, characterize, and measure it). The research was carried out using the methods of questionnaires, conceptual dictionary, and expert evaluation. The level of readiness for professional self-regulation in most respondents has increased from the “lower” to the “upper” limit within the Medium level. The results contribute to the conclusion that professional self-regulation of a teacher as a necessary component of future professional activity is developed effectively during pedagogical practice; moreover, this process is intensified by the implementation of assignments aimed at understanding self-regulatory mechanisms.

Professional self-regulation is often conceptualised as involving the delegation of state powers to professional groups.  An examination of four groups in the United Kingdom provides examples of self-regulation that have developed, with one partial exception, without the support of any statutory framework. Some common aspects of self-regulation are identified along with some differences that relate to how the professions have evolved, and to their operating contexts. Significant influences include how the profession is situated among adjacent groups, the degree of demand from clients and employers for qualified practitioners, and potentially whether the occupation is suitable as an initial career or requires  a measure of maturity and prior experience. An argument is made for greater recognition, both through practical examples and in academic discourse of self-regulation that is initiated and furthered voluntarily through negotiation between professions, their members and their clients rather than via legislative powers.

Physicians have been subject to increasing external control to improve their medical practice, and scholars have theorized extensively about their opposition to such control. However, little empirical attention has been paid to the views and reasoning that lie behind this opposition. An in-depth understanding is necessary for enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of external controls, and continuous deep sedation until death (CDS) is an interesting case in this regard. This study aims to explore how physicians frame control measures for CDS. We conducted 47 semi-structured interviews with Belgian physicians in 2019. A qualitative framing analysis was performed to analyze their views and reasoning. This study reveals that physicians approach CDS practice and control measures with different emphases. Controlling by mechanisms of professional self-regulation and state governance are put forward as appropriate means to improve CDS practice. Policymakers should take into consideration physicians’ frames to develop sound control measures.
