MORALITY
As defined by one textbook author, morality
refers to the “quality of human acts by which we call
them right or wrong, good or evil” (Paniso,1964).
Your human action is right when it conforms to the
norm, rule, or law of morality. Otherwise, it is said to
be wrong.
FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE
The word principle comes from the Latin
word “princeps” which means a beginning, a source.
A principle is that on which something is based,
founded, originated, and initiated. A foundational
moral principle is, therefore, the universal norm upon
which all other principles on the rightness or
wrongness of an action is based.
THE FOUNDATIONAL MORAL PRINCIPLE
IS CONTAINED IN THE NATURAL LAW.
 For theists, it is man’s share in the Eternal
Law of God...”
 It is the law written in the hearts of men
(Romans 2:15)
 St. Thomas defines it as “the light of natural
reason, whereby we discern
 what is good and what is evil...an imprint on
us of the divine light...”
 It is the law that says: “Do good and avoid
evil.”
The Teacher as a person of good moral character.
PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS
As laid down in the preamble of our Code of
ethics of Professional Teachers, teachers are duly
licensed professionals who possess dignity and
reputation with high moral values as well as technical
and professional competence.

WAYS OF DESCRIBING GOOD MORAL

VALUES FORMATION AND YOU
TRANSCENDENT VALUE
According to the idealist group,
Transcendent values are values that remained
unchanged amidst changing times. Transcendent
because they are beyond changing times, beyond
space and people. Examples of these are values of
love, care, and concern for our fellowmen.
VALUES ARE CAUGHT AND TAUGHT
Values are both caught and taught. We may
not be able to hear our fathers’ advice do not smoke”
because what he does (he himself smokes) speaks
louder than what he says. The living examples of
good men and women at home, school and society
have far greater influence on our value formation
than those well-prepared lectures on values
excellently delivered by experts who may sound like
“empty gongs and clanging cymbals”.
VALUE FORMATION INCLUDES
FORMATION IN THE COGNITIVE,
AFFECTIVE AND BEHAVIORAL ASPECTS
 Values have a cognitive dimension. We
must understand the value that we want to
acquire. We need to know why we must
value such.
 Values are in the affective domain of
objectives. In themselves they have an
affective dimension.
 Values also have a behavioral dimension. In
fact, living by the value this is the true acid
test if we really value like honesty.
VALUES HAVE COGNITIVE, AFFECTIVE
AND BEHAVIORAL DIMENSIONS
THEIR EFFECT ON THE WILL
In short, a virtuous life strengthens you to
live by the right values and live life of abundance and
joy while a vicious lead you to perdition and misery

who is called.

called to be a teacher and you are sent into
the world to accomplish a mission, to teach.

entrusted to you in this world. If it is your
assigned task, then you naturally have to
prepare yourself for it. You have embarked
in a mission that calls for a continuing
professional education.

Teaching as your profession

- Teaching is also a profession. It is our way
of rendering service to humanity.
THE QUALITY OF OUR PROFESSIONAL
SERVICE TO IS DETERMINED TO A VERY
GREAT EXTENT ON THE FOUR
ELEMENTS OF PROFESSION WHICH ARE
AS FOLLOWS:

1. Our long and arduous period of preparation

2. A striving for excellence
3. A dedication to the public interest, and
4. Commitment to moral and ethical values. If
we give professional quality service, then
mediocrity has no place. If we live up to our
name as a professional teacher, a meaningful
and fulfilled life will not be far behind.
