Abstract

Code of Ethics and Professionalism in Christian Religious Education (PAK) In the field of Christian religious education, PAK educators are tasked with the important responsibility of shaping the character development of their students. The role of PAK educators goes beyond mere teaching duties; they also serve as exemplary moral and spiritual figures. This investigation examines the importance of adhering to codes of ethics and professionalism among PAK educators during the educational process to improve student character. The methodological approach used includes a comprehensive literature review and conceptual analysis relating to the ethical standards and professional behavior expected of religious educators. The findings of this research indicate that consistent application of ethical principles such as integrity, accountability, and empathy, alongside continuous professional improvement, can foster a conducive learning atmosphere and facilitate student character development. As a result, there is an urgent need for systematic training and supervision to ensure that Religious Education educators can carry out their responsibilities proficiently. Therefore, professional and ethical PAK educators play an important role in forming students' character based on Christian principles.
