Overview
This collaborative module for outcomes-based and flexible learning in the
Professional Conduct and Ethical Standards (CCRF4 22) is particularly designed for
use by students via independent learning strategies. The lessons are delivered every
meeting for 18 weeks or equal to 54 hours, as recommended by the Commission on
Higher Education (CHED). The topics are clearly defined using questions that include
the goals, objectives, methods to be used, tasks to be done, problems to be solved,
related questions for board examinations, and others.
This module contains different lessons. There's Self-Test (Pre-Test and Post-
Test) in this section, exercises, task sheets that need to be completed. Self-check
activities and assessments will be answered by students and these should be directly
sent to the professor online. After each lesson, students are provided with resources for
further readings.
In case there is a chance to meet during Face-to-Face session, groupings can
be made and discussions can be carried over by students. In this session, a team or
panel will lead the presentation, analysis, and examination of the main concepts. It is
recommended that each student should set out readings and share experiences. The
interaction can affect the learning progressively.

PHASES OF STUDY
METHOD/PHASE SUMMARY OF CONTENT/TEACHING AND EXPECTED
LEARNING ACTIVITIES (TLA) OUTCOME
1. Introduction Lesson Starter:

Motivation:

“A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon

this world.”
Brainstormed
Ideas
Albert Camus
2. Presentation Content/Discussion:

Ethics – the branch of knowledge that deals with the

moral principles.
- Science of the morality of man
- Study of human motivation. And ultimately of
human rational behavior

The word "ethics" is derived from the Greek

word ethos (character), and from the Latin word mores
(customs). Together, they combine to define how
individuals choose to interact with one another. In Answered Q &
philosophy, ethics defines what is good for the A
individual and for society and establishes the nature of
duties that people owe themselves and one another.
The English word "ethics" is derived from the Ancient
Greek word ēthikós (ἠθικός), meaning "relating to
one's character", which itself comes from the root
word êthos (ἦθος) meaning "character, moral
nature". This word was transferred
into Latin as ethica and then into French as éthique,
from which it was transferred into English.
Ethics outlines theories of right or wrong,
morality translate these theories into action. Therefore,
morality is nothing else but is a doing of ethics.

IMPORTANCE OF ETHICS
- Indispensable knowledge
- Without moral perception, man is only an
animal
- Without morality, man as rational being is a
failure
Moral integrity is the only true measure of what
man ought to be. The most successful professional, is
nothing unless he too is morally upright. Thus, the
philosophers speak of ethics as the “only necessary
knowledge”.
Morality is the foundation of every human
society. Without civic morality, communities perish;
without personal morality their survival has no value.
Every Culture admits the importance of morality as
standard of behavior. When the moral foundations of a
nation are threatened, society itself is threatened.
Ethics Law
Study of human Concerned with what we
motivation do, not what we feel
Study of external Concerned with the
actions. It explores externality of the act.
thoughts and feelings
Requires that man Requires that we
desires that of which is perform the required
good and act in action regardless of the
accordance with that desire.
desire

Morality, therefore, has a wider implication than

law because law can either be moral or immoral. Thus,
what is legal is not necessarily moral; but what is
moral is worth legalizing.
Ethics is not simply a body of do`s and don’ts in
the manner laws are.

Ethics is a personal commitment to uphold what is

true and good. Ethics aims to develop “right
disposition and inner spirit” for accepting what is
lawful.
