Perception of Teacher Educators about Professional Conduct and Ethics and its Impact on Students' Academic Performance

    The present study intended to investigate the perception of teacher educators about professional conduct and ethics and its relationship with the academic performance of the students. There were 29 government colleges for elementary teachers. 90 teacher educators and 220 students were selected using a convenient sampling technique.Data was collected from teacher educators with the help of a questionnaire having five points rating scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. To investigate the perceptions of teacher educators, measures of central tendency were used. To analyze perceptions of teacher educators on a gender basis, a t-test was applied. To find out the relationship between the perception of teacher educators about professional conduct and ethics and students' academic performance, a coefficient of correlation was applied using a statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Findings demonstrated that teacher educators showed their agreement towards professional conduct and ethics. There was found significant difference between the perception of male and female teacher educators about professional conduct and ethics. The relationship between teacher educators' perception of professional conduct and ethics and students' academic performance was found statistically significant.
