Abstract:

Education and training activities are of great importance for the future direction of a society. Teachers have great responsibility and role in this respect. The importance of teachers is great especially for the personal and social development of primary school students. Primary school teachers guide them with their ethical behaviours so they can affect them deeply, because the teachers are always role models for children. Affected by the ethical behaviours of their teachers, students will acquire guidance of these ethical behaviours throughout their lives and base ethics in all their relations. Professional ethics will be able to guide the teachers in terms of ethical behaviours, so professional ethics training should be given to primary school teacher candidates. This study aims to reveal the importance of professional ethics for primary school teacher candidates, so it is important to emphasize a neglected subject in faculties of education.
