Ethical dimension and professional conduct (the foundations)

Abstract

Course Overview The Algerian University has experienced very strong growth in all its main indicators, as shown by the number of university institutions and their geographical distribution, the number of students and graduates, the diversification of training courses and scientific research activity. As a result, this densification of the university space has raised several questions. However, it is important to remember that the purpose of the university is to promote scientific knowledge on the one hand and universal values on the other. It is in this spirit that the pedagogues of recent years have proposed the opening of a student-teacher dialogue and have suggested the establishment of know-how related to ethics and deontology. Course Objectives At the student level, the main objective of this course is to facilitate an individual's immersion in student life and his or her transition into a responsible adult. At the teacher level, this course allows a reflection on the standards that define the concrete obligations to which all actors and the teacher are subject. These standards should be defined and consolidated into a code of ethics that would facilitate teachers' decision-making by putting in place rules, recommendations and procedures.
