Abstract

The teacher's professional ethics should include ethical norms and values based on which the teacher will reflect his professional behavior. The moral and professional responsibility of the teacher is to provide the students with advice and instructions by which the students will be guided toward success. The teacher must constantly leave a good impression on the students, and educate and motivate them regarding good behavior to promote good behavior in the students, so the teacher must be a model of ethical behavior. The purpose of the research was to examine the professional ethics of teachers in the primary schools of North Macedonia and its impact on the success of student achievement. We examined: The attitude of teachers towards students during lessons. Are students allowed to discuss their impressions of the learning content in class? Are students reprimanded if they make omissions or mistakes or are they guided to possible solutions? Is homework checked regularly and is feedback given on the work done? For the empirical work, the following measuring instruments were used: the survey and the assessment scale, for primary school students (grades VI-IX) and subject teachers from different cities of North Macedonia. The results obtained from the research clearly show that: students are allowed to discuss in class their impressions of the learning content; students are not reprimanded if they make omissions or mistakes but are oriented towards possible solutions; and teachers regularly check homework and give students feedback for the work done.
