Abstract

This study was conducted through a literature method with a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the code of ethics significantly helps improve personal integrity, professional abilities, and interpersonal relationships between teachers, students, parents, and the community. In addition, the code of ethics plays a role in helping teachers face various challenges, such as value conflicts, social pressures, and the dynamics of changing times. Support from educational institutions, such as professional training and spiritual guidance, is an important element in optimizing its implementation. Overall, the consistent implementation of the code of ethics supports the development of Christian Religious Education teacher professionalism in forming a generation with Christian character.
