PEDAGOGICAL ETHICS FOR THE FORMATION OF HAPPY STUDENTS

Abstract

The paper centers on the premise that education is conceived in relation to visions of human happiness and flourishing: we educate students to make their lives better. We believe that happiness, as the highest human value, is the emotional activity of a person, in accordance with virtues. Based on the idea that any professional activity is grounded in the ethical norms and principles that direct its organization and outcomes, this qualitative study aims to find out the most significant ethical values which would promote student happiness and well-being in education. The study also seeks to identify the conditions, directions, and strategies that would help teachers in the process of formation of their students’ emotional well-being.
