23. INTRODUCTION – potential
elements
Context: Something in the world, in your
life, in your profession that makes this
topic seem worth exploring
Definition / Explanation of importance of
key topic:
Preview of the structure of the essay

24. ISSUES SECTION– potential
elements
Explain what the ethical dilemma is – i.e.
what is the problem and why is this an
ethical dilemma?
Explain why the ethical dilemma is a
concern, who it affects and what the
implications are.
Refer to ethical theories and principles in
your explanations.

25. MANAGEMENT SECTION–
potential elements
Explain how one of the ethical frameworks
could be used to address each dilemma
Consider the viewpoints / interests of the
participants and their codes of ethics
If there is space, apply one or more other
ethical principle – e.g. from your reading /
knowledge of other cultures etc (still needs
referencing even if you just happen to
know it!)

26. CONCLUSION– potential
elements
Overall main point of the essay
Key lessons learnt
Implications for professional practice

27. A suitable ethical principle that applies to this scenario, is non-maleficence
(Newman & Pollnitz, 2002). This principle would support the teacher’s decision not
to enforce the ban on mobile phones in school, as the child would. However, non-
enforcement of the rule could weaken respect for the school rules in general – an
issue Kant highlighted in his principle of the categorical imperative (Anfara &
Mertens, 2008). A potential way of resolving the conflict between these two ethical
principles could be to develop a creative compromise (Kipnis, 1987). For instance,
the teacher could set aside a safe space and place for mobile phone use, based on
a relationship of trust in which commitments to the learner, his aiga and to the
broader profession and society (NZTC, 2004) can be realised. Since this ethical
dilemma revolves around the unsatisfactory consequences of applying a school rule
too harshly, the theory of Utilitarianism can usefully inform decision-making. This
involves an evaluation of the likely consequences for all parties (Kagan, 1998). This
perspective provides further support for the creative solution of relationship-
building, since the likely outcome is far more positive in relation to the interests of
the child, which must be paramount in a teacher’s decision-making (NZTC, 2004).
Evaluate this paragraph from a similar
assignment

28. • Accurate writing and referencing
• Flow – each sentence builds on the one before
• Research-based – includes 6 relevant citations
• Uses ethical principles to address the dilemma
• Acknowledges culture of the child and family
STRENGTHS
WEAKNESSES
• May be trying to say too much in one paragraph
• Does not explicitly apply an ethical framework
• Might have acknowledged the child’s and family’s
perspectives and ethical principles more explicitly
