Peran Kode Etik dalam Meningkatkan Integritas Guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen

Abstract

The code of ethics serves as a moral guideline that regulates teachers' behavior and professional responsibilities. In the context of Christian Religious Education, the code of ethics acts as a foundation for teachers to carry out their roles with high integrity, including honesty, responsibility, and exemplary conduct. This study aims to explore the role of the code of ethics in enhancing the integrity of Christian Religious Education teachers through theoretical studies and literature analysis. The findings indicate that the consistent implementation of the code of ethics helps teachers build professional character aligned with Christian faith values, create a positive learning environment, and minimize unethical professional behavior.Moreover, the code of ethics functions as a guide in decision-making that reflects moral and spiritual values taught in Christian Religious Education. Teachers who adhere to the code of ethics demonstrate transparent, fair, and responsible attitudes in performing their duties. Thus, implementing the code of ethics not only enhances teachers' professional quality but also supports the development of students' integrity and faith-based character. Therefore, educational institutions must continue to promote and monitor the application of the code of ethics to achieve quality education rooted in Christian values.
