ETHICS, MORALITY, CODES AND VALUES IN HIGHER MUSIC CONSERVATORIES

Abstract

This article focuses on revealing the difference between the concepts of ethics and morality, and investigating the extent to which teachers need to agree on principles within an educational center and provide ourselves with a deontological and professional code appropriate to the teaching context in which we are integrated. The ethical-teaching relationship in general and, particularly, professional teaching ethics is reviewed, as well as the elements that characterize an ethical teaching-learning process. The professional ethical codes of teachers are the object of study, defining different types of specific ethical values ??in the field of higher music education in conservatories. It also incorporates a broad reflection on the importance of these values ??in the training of music teachers, their ethical and institutional duties, and the current situation in this matter in higher music centers in Spain.
