The Influence of the Application of Professional Ethics on Professionalism

Abstract

The world of education is required to produce human resources that are in line with advances in science and technology. Teachers have an important role in education, so that almost all reform efforts in the education sector depend on teachers. Teacher professionalism development is directed at improving quality. Criteria for teacher professionalism include the ability to: master materials, manage PBM, manage classes, manage media or resources, master educational foundations, become familiar with teaching and learning interactions, assess student achievement, become familiar with BP service functions and programs, and become familiar with school administration. In the teaching profession there is a code of ethics to uphold the dignity of the profession, to safeguard and maintain the welfare of its members, to increase the dedication of members of the profession, to improve the quality of the profession and to improve the quality of professional organizations. With a code of ethics, teachers are expected to be able to function optimally and professionally, especially in developing the character and manners of students and upholding the authority of the institution and the teaching profession. This research aims to describe the implementation of the Pamekasan school code of ethics and how the school code of ethics can improve professionalism in learning. This research aims to identify and analyze the influence of the application of professional ethics on professionalism in the context of a particular profession. Professional ethics are moral guidelines and principles of behavior expected from individuals in a profession. Professionalism, on the other hand, includes the qualities and behavior of a professional in carrying out his duties. The research results show that the application of professional ethics has a positive influence on professionalism. Individuals who consistently apply professional ethical values tend to demonstrate a higher level of professionalism in carrying out their duties and responsibilities. Factors such as integrity, commitment to a code of ethics, and a sense of responsibility towards clients or society in general can improve the quality of professionalism.
