Abstract EN
The study examined the ethical sensitivity of Finnish teachers (N=864) using a 28-item Ethical Sensitivity Scale Questionnaire (ESSQ).
The psychometric qualities of this instrument were analyzed, as were the differences in self-reported ethical sensitivity between practicing and student teachers and teachers of different subjects.
The results showed that the psychometric qualities of the ESSQ were satisfactory and enabled the use of an explorative factor analysis.
All Finnish teachers rated their level of ethical sensitivity as high, which indicates that they had internalized the ethical professionalism of teaching.
However, practicing teachers’ assessments were higher than student teachers’.
Moreover, science as a subject was associated with lower self-ratings of ethical sensitivity.
