Özet:

The aim of this study is to identify the ethical assessments that high school math teachers do in their teaching practices in the ethical tensions they experience. The method of research is a multi-state study, which is one of the quality research methods. Three teachers of mathematics participated in the study. The data was collected through semi-configured conversations. In the interviews, questions and scenarios regarding the teachers’ recognition, teaching-related planning, application and evaluation processes were used. The data has been analyzed in a visual way. In the analyses, ethical tensions were first identified when determining the ethical approaches that teachers prefer in their teaching decisions. Then ethical assessments of the participants were determined in each case of ethical tension. According to the findings obtained from the research, participants who face ethical tensions in their teaching decisions in the assessment process with different ethical approaches (deontological, teleological, etc.) They were seen moving. As a result, it is determined that teachers apply different ethical approaches according to circumstances and conditions, and therefore have an eclectic ethical understanding. This result provides an opportunity to understand the moral background of teaching decisions.
