This study investigated the direct and indirect effects of learning styles, ethics education, and ethical climate on student's ethical behavior. 273 students were surveyed using questionnaires measuring their learning styles, exposure to ethics education, perceptions of ethical climate, and self-reported ethical behavior. Path analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that learning styles and ethics education had a direct influence on ethical behavior, but ethical climate did not have a direct influence. Additionally, ethical climate did not mediate the effects of learning styles or ethics education on ethical behavior. In other words, learning styles and ethics education significantly contributed to developing good behavior and character in students.

This article surveys three approaches to improving school discipline: ecological approaches to classroom management, schoolwide positive behavioral supports, and social and emotional learning. It describes how classroom management focuses on improving student engagement and participation, while ecological approaches aim to strengthen classroom activities and foster student development. The article also discusses how schoolwide positive behavioral support and social emotional learning programs have been shown to reduce problematic behaviors. The implications are that the approaches studied, such as schoolwide positive behavioral supports and social emotional learning, could help improve school discipline by developing student self-discipline and establishing clear behavioral expectations.
This study aims to identify factors that influence student behavior in educational contexts through a comprehensive mixed-methods analysis. The study will survey, observe, and interview students, educators, parents, and administrators to understand academic and non-academic influences on student conduct and develop strategies to improve outcomes. A diverse range of perspectives will be incorporated to holistically examine the issue.
An effective teaching contributes to the students’ performance and this
depends on qualified-trained teachers, school administration, parents and
conducive environment for teaching and learning. It is proven that students
are more successful in their academic achievements, in the societies where
teachers perceive their profession as their job. This paper explores the impact
of the society’s perception on teachers’ professionalism. The method
employed in this paper is qualitative by using interview technique and used
audio-recorded to ensure a complete transcript. The result indicated that in
some developing countries including Cameroon, Kenya and Fiji has various
reasons for their job. Teaching profession was affected by how the society
considers teachers whereby they are perceived as disadvantaged population
who cannot fully take part in the social and economic activities due to the
fact that their salary is very low compared other public servants. This low
salary and loss of respect of teachers by the society lead to the job
dissatisfaction and made the teaching profession as a transitional job before
waiting to move to another different professional field.
This study aims to determine the role of the school environment on moral and cultural literacy of elementary school students. This is descriptive qualitative research. Data collection techniques are observation, interviews, questionnaire, and documentation. Data analysis techniques are data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. Data validity using triangulation. Triangulation is to ensure the data validity that takes into consideration aspects of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The subjects are 3 teachers and 27 students of 4th, 5th and 6th grade in Muhammadiyah School of Sleman Regency. The results of this study are (1) teachers-students’ relationships have role to foster the character of honesty, fairness, caring, and teachers as role model for students; (2) students-students’ relationships also have role to habituate good behavior to students; (3) school discipline contributes to the students’ moral and cultural formation such as self-awareness, honesty, justice, responsibility, obedience to the rules, good commitment and unfazed by the changing era; (4) these learning implements have role in self-awareness, responsibility and care, because the teaching implements provided by the teachers becomes the students’ responsibility.
This document discusses challenges faced by teachers, including student discipline problems in schools.

This study examined the relationship between students’ academic performance, teachers’ commitment, and leadership behavior of school administrators. Teachers’ commitment was measured in two areas– commitment to job and commitment to organization and the leadership behavior of school administrators were evaluated in terms of consideration and initiating structure. Eighty-one teachers, 11 school heads, and 470 students served as respondents. The descriptive survey research technique, correlation analysis, and the following statistical methods were used: frequency, mean, standard deviation, and correlation coefficient. The study revealed that the initiating structure and consideration dimensions of leadership behavior affect teachers’ commitment to job (CTJ) and teacher’s commitment to organization (CTO). The correlation between CTJ and CTO and leadership behavior-initiating structure is positive and with leadership behavior-consideration negative. CTJ and CTO is correlated with the students’ academic performance in math, but not in Science and English. The correlation is negative. Students’ academic performance in all subject areas is negatively correlated with leadership behavior-initiating structure and has no significant relationship with leadership behavior-consideration. The leadership behavior-initiating structure is positively correlated with teachers’ commitment to both job and organization but has negative correlation with students’ academic performance in math, science, and English.

This document summarizes a study on the effectiveness of positive reinforcement approaches used by school principals to manage student discipline in public secondary schools in Migori County, Kenya. The study found that positive behavior reinforcement was very effective in managing student discipline, with a mean effectiveness rating of 3.51. However, the study also noted that solely using praise may not always be effective, as older students may see it as a negative punishment rather than positive reinforcement if it singles them out in front of peers. While positive reinforcement can be effective, its impact may lessen when rewards are withdrawn, so it needs to be used alongside other disciplinary approaches. The study aims to provide insights into how positive behavior reinforcement can most effectively be utilized by educational administrators and

The document discusses three key aspects of motivating students in the classroom:
1. Motivation develops from understanding the complete learning experience, including learner preferences, expectations, tasks, teaching strategies, resources, and environment.
2. Intrinsic motivation is important and can be developed through teaching routines, setting achievable goals, encouraging self-evaluation, helping students believe in their abilities, and teaching behavior components.
3. Coercion should be minimized and failure accepted as part of learning, as it breeds future success. An overall goal is to create a productive learning environment.
The role of entrepreneurship in addressing the issue of educated unemployment is well acknowledged, while its specific implications for health professions students remain inadequately explored. This study's main objective is to investigate entrepreneurship education's effect on entrepreneurial intention by considering entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediator in students majoring in medical laboratory technology. This quantitative research uses an exploratory approach involving 300 respondents determined through simple random sampling techniques and analyzed using partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The analysis revealed that entrepreneurship education directly impacts self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, entrepreneurial self-efficacy was identified to exert a positive mediating effect between these variables. However, the effect size between the relationships of the research variables is low. Nevertheless, higher education offering health majors can optimize entrepreneurship education by implementing practical learning and field experience to increase confidence and intention in entrepreneurial activities.
Recent studies claimed that the absence of a paradigm is a challenge to developing education for sustainable development and soft skills competencies. This integrative study examines stimulating these transferable and transversal competencies through constructivist approaches to teaching from the cognitive, social, radical, and critical perspectives. The study argues that the use of constructivist approaches to teaching can contribute to the achievement of education for sustainable development and soft skills competencies through the delegation of power from teachers/lecturers to students. This, in active and interactive classrooms, empowers students and builds their confidence to develop on the personal, academic, and professional levels. The use of the cognitive constructivist approach assists in developing competencies based on a clear understanding of the cognitive structures of students in a vibrant classroom environment. The use of the social constructivist approach assists in constructing individualized learning environment based on predetermined zones of proximal development in sociocultural contexts. The radical and critical constructivist approaches to teaching, through the rejection of conventional epistemologies, allow students the freedom to creatively address issues related to environmental, economic, and social sustainability. This becomes effective through the fostering of self and social awareness, challenging existing ideas, and provoking innovative thoughts that are necessary to shape a sustainable future.

However, the study also noted that solely using praise may not always be effective, as older students may see it as a negative punishment rather than positive reinforcement if it singles them out in front of peers. While positive reinforcement can be effective, its impact may lessen when rewards are withdrawn, so it needs to be used alongside other disciplinary approaches. The study aims to provide insights into how positive behavior reinforcement can most effectively be utilized by educational administrators and

Learning Process, Training Climate, Development and Designing Training ModulesAshish Hande
This document discusses learning theories and domains of learning. It describes two major learning theories - behaviorism and cognitive theory. Behaviorism focuses on reinforcement and stimuli to shape behavior, while cognitive theory examines internal mental processes. It also outlines three domains of learning: the cognitive domain involves knowledge and intellectual skills; the affective domain encompasses attitudes, values and beliefs; and the psychomotor domain deals with physical skills and movements. Combining elements of different learning theories and targeting multiple domains can help create effective training programs.

A Holistic Approach To Learning And Teaching Interaction Factors In The Deve...Lisa Garcia
This document summarizes the Holistic Approach to Learning and Teaching Interaction (HALTI), which was developed over 9 years by the author through reflective teaching practice. HALTI aims to develop students as critical, confident, independent learners by making learning a process of self-improvement within a social context. It recognizes students as individuals with personal needs and invokes Personal Construct Theory to understand students' perspectives and help them take ownership of knowledge. The approach involves 5 aspects of interaction designed to motivate students and develop critical thinking skills. Evidence shows HALTI improves student engagement, progression and satisfaction.
Interpersonal relation and its effect on teaching and learning Alexander Decker
The document summarizes a study that investigated the effect of interpersonal relationships on the teaching and learning process. 100 students from two schools in Ranikhet, India were surveyed using a questionnaire measuring interpersonal relationships between students, teachers, and principals. Statistical analysis found a positive moderate correlation between various interpersonal relationships and teaching/learning, indicating interpersonal interactions can positively impact the educational process. The relationships found to most influence teaching/learning were student-teacher, student-student, and teacher-principal relationships.
This document summarizes a study that identified and analyzed common ethical issues in schools in Delta State, Nigeria. The study found that the most prevalent unethical conducts were school closings due to strike action, unconstitutional student admissions, inaccurate records, and misleading advertising. Potential ways to reduce unethical conduct included providing ethics training, appointing ethics specialists, and establishing formal codes of ethics for staff and students. The study concluded that identifying unethical issues and implementing preventative measures could help improve the ethical climate and quality of education.
The document discusses three key aspects of motivating students in the classroom:
1. Motivation develops from understanding the complete learning experience, including learner preferences, expectations, tasks, teaching strategies, resources, and environment.
2. Intrinsic motivation is important and can be developed through teaching routines, setting achievable goals, encouraging self-evaluation, helping students believe in their abilities, and teaching behavior components.
3. Coercion should be minimized and failure accepted as part of learning, as it breeds future success. An overall goal is to create a productive learning environment.

The role of entrepreneurship in addressing the issue of educated unemployment is well acknowledged, while its specific implications for health professions students remain inadequately explored. This study's main objective is to investigate entrepreneurship education's effect on entrepreneurial intention by considering entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediator in students majoring in medical laboratory technology. This quantitative research uses an exploratory approach involving 300 respondents determined through simple random sampling techniques and analyzed using partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The analysis revealed that entrepreneurship education directly impacts self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, entrepreneurial self-efficacy was identified to exert a positive mediating effect between these variables. However, the effect size between the relationships of the research variables is low. Nevertheless, higher education offering health majors can optimize entrepreneurship education by implementing practical learning and field experience to increase confidence and intention in entrepreneurial activities.
Recent studies claimed that the absence of a paradigm is a challenge to developing education for sustainable development and soft skills competencies. This integrative study examines stimulating these transferable and transversal competencies through constructivist approaches to teaching from the cognitive, social, radical, and critical perspectives. The study argues that the use of constructivist approaches to teaching can contribute to the achievement of education for sustainable development and soft skills competencies through the delegation of power from teachers/lecturers to students. This, in active and interactive classrooms, empowers students and builds their confidence to develop on the personal, academic, and professional levels. The use of the cognitive constructivist approach assists in developing competencies based on a clear understanding of the cognitive structures of students in a vibrant classroom environment. The use of the social constructivist approach assists in constructing individualized learning environment based on predetermined zones of proximal development in sociocultural contexts. The radical and critical constructivist approaches to teaching, through the rejection of conventional epistemologies, allow students the freedom to creatively address issues related to environmental, economic, and social sustainability. This becomes effective through the fostering of self and social awareness, challenging existing ideas, and provoking innovative thoughts that are necessary to shape a sustainable future.
The research aimed to describe the development of solar electric cars as a prop in energy conversion learning using the analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) model and to ascertain the effectiveness of an electric car as a prop in energy conversion learning. Utilization of prop in the learning process is one way to support the development of knowledge, skills, and basic needs for delivering material, concepts, and physics information. This research is a descriptive study involving media and pedagogical experts and 40 students of the university in Tasikmalaya. Data collection techniques were carried out through the study of literature, expert validation, and student perception questionnaires. Expert validation and student perception were obtained by using a Likert scale. The expert judgment results were processed using the V value equation developed by Aiken. The results showed a value of 1, meeting the minimum validation requirements. The students also had positive responses to a prop. They have new experience learning in energy conversion and have good media to help their comprehension. It has a significant impact on helping students to achieve their learning goals.
The rise and growing prevalence of juvenile delinquency is a matter of concern for many parties. This study aims to establish a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire that can be deployed to assess the learning environment perceived by high school students. This research endeavor constitutes a developmental study, wherein the outcomes are a single survey instrument encompassing six variables, nineteen indicators, and forty questions. The data-collecting process involved the utilization of a Google Form across five schools in five districts, containing a total of 1615 participants. The analysis of expert data was conducted utilizing V. Aiken and field trials employing confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) Second Order. The findings of this study indicate that the diagnostic survey instrument used to assess the learning environment's impact on the mental health of high school students demonstrated validity, as evidenced by loading factor values exceeding the established minimal threshold. The reliability of the instrument remains insufficient. This survey can be utilized to detect adolescent persistent tendencies carried out by students or other school members that interfere with mental health: the emergence and significant raising of juvenile delinquency.
Marinyo is a culture left by the Portuguese around the 15th century in Maluku. The purpose of this study was to find out to what extent students' misconceptions about the concept of sound in the Marinyo case in the Kepuluan Tanimbar Regency. The method used was a qualitative study in ethnography in ten villages in two sub-districts. In addition, they conducted a survey in the form of a diagnostic test in the form of questions related to the Marinyo case on 300 elementary school students. The findings in the field show that students experience relatively high misconceptions. It was because teachers did not accustom students to learn from natural phenomena around them and were given scientific questions to seek, find and provide answers and solutions related to these natural phenomena. The teacher was more pursuing the conditions and problems of physics in textbooks and less exploring contextual matters. Future researchers are suggested to develop physics or science teaching materials based on regional local advantages that are oriented towards understanding concepts, mental models, critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity and innovative thinking so that teachers and students can learn well so that knowledge of science becomes better.
Online learning is a growing trend in education during the corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the difficulties that online majors in non-English languages have when attempting to acquire English. The subject of this study involved using the questionnaire method for as many as 412 students and interviewing 15 students with a total of 17 questions. The results of this study indicate that there are several challenges faced by students during online learning; i) less familiarity with online learning as shown by 31% of students agreeing that online learning is a new learning method, ii) psychologically 30% of students choose strongly agree that they have limited opportunities to interact directly and freely with lecturers as well as with students, iii) limited facilities and infrastructure as much as 28% agree that the budget is limited to get quota or internet credit, and iv) limited internet access as many as 35% of students do not have good internet coverage to take online lectures. The findings of this study should be a reference for English lecturers to continue learning to innovate in providing online English learning by considering the existing challenges.
English for young learners (EYL) teachers have practiced some creative activities to maintain their pupils’ learning with natural exposure to the target language amidst the pandemic. One activity practiced by Indonesian and Korean teachers was an international collaboration to perform a virtual drama of each country’s folktale. This phenomenological research aimed at tapping the teachers’ perceptions regarding interculturality and world Englishes (WE) in the virtual dramatic play collaboratively conducted and delving into their commitments in honing interculturality and WE. Two Indonesian and Korean teachers were involved in three sessions of in-depth interviews using pre-prepared interview questions. The trustworthiness of the data was achieved by the group discussions allowing the participants to comment on and revise the transcribed data, as well as triangulation by two international collaborators. Thematic analysis was performed to identify emerging themes and to provide novel insights into EYL teachers' encounters with interculturality and WE. The Indonesian and Korean teachers admitted the compatibility between language and culture, the urgency of introducing varieties of English, and the merits of conducting international collaboration to promote interculturality and WE. The teachers are committed to integrate interculturality and WE in their instructions despite some differences in the stipulated curricula.
The fear of failure stops students from thinking logically and processing information in mathematics. Creating an appropriate classroom climate based on every student's ability is crucial to overcoming the prejudices associated with mathematics. In this regard, this study aims to create the best classroom climate approach that will increase interest in mathematics and ensure academic success. For this purpose, mathematicians' views on the classroom climate approach and how they create them were discussed by using qualitative techniques. It was considered that teachers participating in this research are working in 9th grade in state high schools affiliated with the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus Ministry of Education, accepting students through examination. The researchers collected teacher views through a semistructured interview form and analyzed them using context analysis. The findings showed that teachers were in a hurry to teach and generally paid attention to creating a comfortable classroom climate in which students could express their thoughts and opinions. This situation also revealed a lack of adequate classroom climate approach skills among teachers. Therefore, the classroom climate approaches discussed in this study are expected to make a significant contribution to this field by offering solutions to teachers in creating a supportive classroom climate.
The article is devoted to the study of the issue of training future police officers to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in their professional activities. Based on the results of the theoretical analysis of scientific and applied works, modern trends in the development of drones in the activities of law enforcement agencies were identified, and the problem of their implementation in practical activities was outlined. An online survey was conducted in order to study the opinion of scientific, scientific and pedagogical workers and graduates of higher education institutions with specific learning conditions that train police officers about the need to train future police officers in the control of UAVs. The need to introduce into the system of primary professional training the training of service skills using drones is substantiated. On the basis of the study of the content of the training program for unmanned aircraft systems of the first class according to the basic qualification level of the first level, it is proposed to introduce the general professional educational unit “formation of skills and skills of controlling an UAV” into the training program of the primary professional training of police officers in the specified specialty.
English language teaching (ELT) in Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia, commonly known as pesantren, presents a unique context that requires a tailored pedagogical approach. This study aimed to explore the application of context-responsive pedagogy in ELT within the unique context of Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. This qualitative study employed semistructured interviews and classroom observation as data generation methods to gain insights into the experiences and perspectives of English language teachers regarding the implementation of context-responsive pedagogy in English language instruction. The findings revealed the importance of understanding learner needs, incorporating authentic materials, promoting cultural sensitivity, and effective use of technology in ELT practices in Islamic boarding school contexts. This study delves into how English language teachers navigated and negotiated their practices with the socio-cultural and religious values entrenched in this institution. It also highlighted the challenges English language teachers in this school context faced in the implementation of context-responsive pedagogy. Eventually, this research provides valuable insights for ELT practitioners, policymakers, and researchers interested in incorporating context-specific pedagogy to optimize ELT in Islamic boarding schools and similar educational contexts.
This study aimed to develop and evaluate a training curriculum intended to enhance the quality of life for the elderly. As Thailand witnesses a demographic shift with increasing numbers of older adults, driven by declining birth rates and extended life expectancies, the importance of ensuring quality elderly care becomes paramount. The devised curriculum encompasses eight principal elements focusing on the elderly, defined as those aged 60 and above, addressing their physical and mental changes, well-being, health, and overall satisfaction. The content is holistic, integrating components of music, art, health care, and exercise. Delivered over a two-day period, the curriculum employs a structured approach featuring lectures, discussions, and knowledge exchanges, supported by a range of media and materials. Initial assessments revealed a moderate quality of life among the elderly, but post-training evaluations indicated enhanced knowledge, understanding, and positive attitudes towards the activities, pointing to an overall high level of effectiveness of the curriculum.
The study of the role of the pedagogy of partnership (PoP) in building the professional competence of future primary school teachers is relevant in the context of modern educational and pedagogical transformations, which require the preparation of teachers for new challenges and creating a favourable learning environment. Therefore, the aim of our study was to check the effect of observing the pedagogical partnership principles in the educational process on the development of the communicative competence of future primary school teachers. The study employed the following psychodiagnostic methods: the Thomas-Kilmann conflict mode instrument (TKI), Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI), Snyder’s self-control in communication. The implementation of the PoP programme in higher education institutions (HEIs) has a positive effect on the development of the communicative competence of future teachers, in particular, on developing the ability for self-control and increasing the scope of psychological knowledge. The study revealed some important correlations. Our results indicate that cooperation and the ability to make compromises are directly related to the communicative abilities of future teachers. Further research can be focused on studying the impact of pedagogical partnership on other aspects of future teacher training, such as methodical mastery, motivation for learning and development.
This study aims to describe preservice mathematics teacher knowledge of higher order thinking skills in terms of definition, Bloom's taxonomy level, curriculum, learning, and evaluation. This research is quantitative research with a survey method. and sample consisted of 248 preservice mathematics teachers in semesters VI - VIII of the Department of Mathematics Education, Nusa Cendana University, Timor University, and Wira Wacana Sumba University. The instrument used was a questionnaire about high order thinking skill (HOTS) which consisted of 105 statements. Data analysis used Likert's summeted rating, one sample test, Mann Whitney, Kruskall-Wallis tests, multiple linear regression test, and multivariate analyisis of variance (MANOVA) test. The results showed that the knowledge level of preservice mathematics teacher was in the good category. Based on gender differences, there was no significant difference in the average knowledge of preservice mathematics teacher about HOTS, there was a significant difference in the average knowledge of preservice mathematics teacher about HOTS which is significant based on differences in academic ability and gender differences do not significantly affect knowledge about HOTS levels in Bloom's taxonomy, curriculum, and pedagogy while academic knowledge has a significant effect on HOTS knowledge of preservice teachers in almost all aspects except for pedagogy.
Formative assessment is an evaluative practice developed in the classroom for the improvement of learning using evidence on student progression. The objective of this research is to compare sample groups from multigrade and single-grade classrooms on the theme of formative assessment based on the students' opinion of the teacher's performance. The method used was a comparative quantitative method. The sample type is a probability sample of 683 students from 5th to 8th grade from urban and rural schools in the commune of Longaví, located in the Maule Region of Chile. A validated Likert scale questionnaire with a high level of reliability (α = 0.93) was used. The results of the research showed that, in the six dimensions, the best teacher performance concerning formative assessment is found in multi-grade schools and not in single-grade schools. This can be explained on the basis of several reasons, among them the level of adaptability that teachers have in this type of classroom, the heterogeneous characteristics of the classroom (different ages and learning goals) and the need for teachers to monitor the learning progression of students with different classroom characteristics.
Financial literacy, as a fundamental skill in the 21st century, has become a life skill that is urgently needed to be improved. Globally, the drive to enhance financial literacy involves integrating it into the education curriculum, necessitating educators’ comprehensive grasp of financial literacy education before imparting it to students. This research aims to outline a conceptual model of financial literacy professional development to improve teachers’ professional competence, employing a narrative review that synthesizes 28 relevant literatures retrieved from Scopus databases. The results of the study show that an effective training model for teacher professional development (TPD) in financial literacy education should focus on essential financial literacy content consisting of planning and budgeting, banking services, income and careers, insurance, investment, savings, also spending and credit. Furthermore, the main characteristics of TPD regarding financial literacy education should encompass content focus, coherence, ownership, active learning, duration, and collective participation.
The objective of this research is to examine teachers' competence in designing activities after engaging in professional development activities aimed at enhancing teaching design in order to develop students' thinking abilities that are contextually appropriate. The participants consist of 5 elementary school science teachers from schools. The research employed semi-structured interviews and classroom observation as research instruments. The findings reveal that teachers engaged in self-development through observation and learning from their peers within the community of practice (CoP). They receive advice and feedback from fellow teachers and apply these insights to improve their activities. Consequently, teachers are able to continuously refine and develop their teaching approaches to align with students' contexts. This approach facilitate diversification in thinking and learning management, as well as collaborative teamwork to enhance teaching methods. As a result, engaging and interesting thinking development activities are incorporated into student learning, along with the creation of a seamless learning-promoting environment. Collaborative teamwork in instructional design and problem-solving further afford teachers the opportunity for additional self-learning and personal development. This collaborative approach also contributes to fostering cognitive diversity and relieved the need for individual teachers to undertake all tasks independently.
Adaptive online learning can be realized through the evaluation of the learning process. Monitoring and supervising learners’ cognitive levels and adjusting learning strategies can increasingly improve the quality of online learning. This analysis is made possible by real-time measurement of learners’ cognitive levels during the online learning process. However, most of the currently used techniques for evaluating cognitive levels rely on labour-intensive and time-consuming manual coding. In this study, we explore the machine learning (ML) algorithms and taxonomy of Bloom’s cognitive levels to explore features that affect learner’s cognitive level in online assessments and the ability to automatically predict learner’s cognitive level and thus, come up with a recommendation or pedagogical intervention to improve learner’s acquisition. The analysis of 15,182 learners’ assessments of a specific learning concept affirms the effectiveness of our approach. We attain an accuracy of 82.21% using ML algorithms. These results are very encouraging and have implications for how automated cognitive-level analysis tools for online learning will be developed in the future.
This systematic literature review (SLR) aimed to investigate the potential of digital online game-based learning (DOGBL) to enhance motivation in English as a foreign language (EFL). Online gaming has grown in popularity among students, opening up the possibility of using games as powerful instructional resources. Academic achievement depends on motivation, and this study, led by self-determination theory (SDT), explored how external rules, like rewards and recognition, could increase motivation in EFL utilizing DOGBL. The study used the SLR method, examining databases and choosing articles based on predetermined criteria. The chosen publications were examined in-depth, and a preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) diagram was employed for analysis. For results, DOGBL could enhance teaching EFL by providing flexible and interesting learning environments. Key elements in motivating in DOGBL included game design, personalization, social engagement, curricular integration, and instructor assistance. As a promising method to improve EFL instruction, game-based learning, especially DOGBL, saw considerable developments between 2018 and 2023. Thus, these ground-breaking techniques transformed the way people learn English vocabulary and provided a fun and engaging way to learn the language. For educators and students, the potential for DOGBL to change EFL education is still exciting as technology develops.
The development of postmodern-era technology in the world of education is increasingly sophisticated, thus impacting the character of students and their social environment. Technological progress negatively affects the lives of today's generation. When misuse of technology is widespread, it is imperative to strengthen cultural and religious filtration. So that the influence of globalization on technological development can be minimized. So as not to damage the cultural values and morality of students as the next generation of the nation. This study aims to explain the importance of transforming the values of Bima's local wisdom "Nggusu Waru" through the media of social studies e-books. The results and conclusions of this study are efforts to develop students' social character that require teacher collaboration, supervision, and optimal parental attention so that their interest in learning is higher and minimizes deviant behavior. This research method uses research and development design. At the stage of preliminary studies with models developed by Borg and Gall. Through several stages of research, information gathering, development of initial forms of products, and initial field testing. In this step, data is collected through interviews, observation and documentation. The data is analyzed to find out some of its weaknesses and shortcomings.
This research investigated the pre-service teachers’ self-regulation, selfefficacy, and mathematics performance in blended learning during the post Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in a state university using a descriptive correlational design. There were 201 pre-service teachers who were identified using simple random sampling. They answered the two-set survey questionnaire, which assessed their self-regulation and self-efficacy, while their performances were assessed using their grades in the subject. The data gathered were treated using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that they had high self-regulation while they had a very high level of self-efficacy. At the same time, they had a very satisfactory performance in mathematics. Moreover, their self-regulation in terms of planning, monitoring, and adjusting was significantly correlated with their math performance while reflecting is not. However, no significant relationship was found between their self-efficacy and mathematics performance. Thus, instructors are encouraged to conduct monitoring during blended learning to encourage pre-service teachers to maintain their high level of self-regulation and self-efficacy in learning mathematics. In addition, future researchers may explore the same variables to validate the findings of the study because these findings are limited only to pre-service teachers and were conducted during the post COVID-19 pandemic.

This study investigated the direct and indirect effects of learning styles,
ethics education, and ethical climate on student’s ethical behavior. The
samples were obtained through a proportionate random sampling technique
so that 273 students had taken the courses of conservation education,
professional ethics for teachers, and business ethics. The data were collected
using questionnaires and analyzed using path analysis. The research findings
showed that learning styles and ethical education could directly influence
ethical behavior. At the same time, the ethical climate did not have a direct
influence on ethical behavior. The ethical climate could not mediate the
effect of learning styles and ethics education on ethical behavior. It means
that learning styles and ethical education contribute significantly to the
formation of good behavior and student’s characters. It is supporting a
learning styles approach suggests that it offers benefit to students.

1. INTRODUCTION
To nurture students into an individual who can cope with challenges in their adult life, the university
has to identify and develop a way for students to reach their maximum potential. Even though it is essential,
there is also a struggle to manage student development [1]. One says that cognitive development will lead to
greater output, while others believe that a character-based approach emphasizes that ethical and moral virtue
will give more effective results [2]. Despite its conclusiveness, there are many interests in ethical conduct and
how to stimulate it through education.
The aim of the educational program, in this case, is university, is to improve students’s ethical
awareness and help them to have the ability to see the difference between right and wrong. Therefore, when
they graduate, they can become managers, accountants, and teachers, or anything they want and be the better
version of themselves. One way or example for the university to achieve this kind of output is developing a
curriculum that required students to take a course in business ethics [3], [4]. A developing student who has
high virtue is one of the most critical missions for university. Unfortunately, there is not a complete
understanding of how to help students develop ethical behavior. The absence of knowledge regarding student
development on ethical behavior will lead them to practice fraudulent behavior such as cheating, plagiarism,
and other dishonest behaviors. In fact, in a well-known business school, the level of fraud is very high [5]-
[7]. It has become crystal clear that further research on ethical behavior on the student is quite urgent.

Some researchers found that external factors such as student environment turn out to be factors that
affect the student's ethical behavior [8]. The results show that the student admitted to dishonest behavior
reports their class to be more communal, less individualized than those who did not report unethical behavior.
This situation occurs since the ethical climate provides opportunities for students to cheat. Somebody can
interpret that the level of sensitivity of students in the class to ethics is shallow. Another external variable
affecting student ethical behavior is shown by [9], who argue that teaching styles will vary depending on the
person who does the teaching will reflect student ethical conduct. Although external factors have attributed to
ethical behavior, another result from a different research perspective has shown that individual elements can
affect student ethical conduct [10]. Align with prior argument. We can conclude that within university or any
educational environment, we can nature student ethical behavior by external factors such as ethical climate
and ethics education and individual characteristics such as learning styles [11].
Nowadays, the spotlight on educational literature has focused on the learning styles of students. In a
way, student learning styles separated into three criteria, diverges, assimilators, convergers, and
accommodators [9], [11]. Student’s learning cannot be an oversight as it is also an influential factor to
student’s ethical behavior. The interaction between learning styles and students conducting ethical behavior
does not appear studied yet. The researcher decided that any education method that applies to the student
should be fit with student learning preferences. While we can separate the student learning preferences into
two stems, the experiential and non-experiential [12], to decide which method is the most effective way to
approach each learning preference and its effect on ethical behavior is still undecided. The experiential
learner will likely engage in ethical behavior by gaining experience in the formal classroom, such as
attending business ethics class [13]. For non-experiential learning, ethical climate, a value or practice within
organizations that pertain to morals and virtue, has shown to affect ethical behavior [14], [15]. As mention in
social learning theory, people will behave following what sure of value is acceptable by their environment by
observing and gathering information on their surroundings (i.e., ethical climate) [1].
The difference with previous research is the focus of ethics education in higher education,
conservation education, professional ethics of economics teacher, and business ethics. It provides an
overview of the success of ethics education to shape pre-service teachers, entrepreneurship, manager, and
accountant character. Good character will support the development of good behavior. It can minimize fraud
tendency and cheating. So, they have character and pleasing personalities in the workplace. Besides, our
research contributes to strengthening the student's behavior that can improve character. One of them is
through enhancing students learning.
We believe that learning styles on ethical behavior will vary depending on the student's ethical
climate and ethics education. While many questions regarding the relation of learning styles to student ethical
behavior, we attempt to shed light on how learning styles on students, interacting with ethics climate and
ethics education in university, affect student's ethical behavior. This study investigated determining the direct
and indirect effects of learning styles, ethics education, and ethical climate on student's ethical behavior.
Learning styles, ethics education, ethical climate, and ethical behaviors of students
The application of learning methods to student learning styles significantly influences academic
success [9]. Based on humanistic learning theory about the learning stages, the active experimentation stage
describes how knowledge was created through experience transformation in the fourth stage. Individuals
differ in their preferences using learning styles because of passion, specific life experiences, and current
environmental demands, which produce different learning styles for other students [16], [17].
The research conducted by [9] suggested that various levels of learning space also affect different
levels of learning. When it comes to ethics, formal learning is learning in the form of active experimentation.
Therefore, students can solve conflicts that often occur in individuals. They suggest that deep learning is very
well used in ethical learning. They use the experience as a source of learning and solving conflicts that often
occur in individuals, both conflict with peers and the environment. To stimulate deep learning, students must
be forced out of their comfort zone to encourage students to be actively involved in learning. To enable deep
learning, students engaged in a type of learning that is less frequently used and, in a sense, out of their
comfort zone [13]. Learning styles can have a relationship with ethical education and ethical climate to
influence student's ethical behavior ultimately. Learning style, student ethical behavior can be formed by
individual factors and contextual factors such as the ethical climate of higher education. Based on the
explanation above, the research hypothesis is as; H1: There is a direct effect of learning styles on student's
ethical behavior.
The ethical climate typology that was conceived for the private sector adapted to the public sector
(higher education). Ethical climate is the shared perception of ethically correct behavior and how ethical
issues should be handled). Deep learning theory [18] states that for the non-experiential learner, observing
the environment, and then decided whether the academic integrity existed or not will reinforce the will to act

according tothe ethical standard. The prior research shows that learning style that matched with the
experience of students who took the ethics education class will positively impact student conducting ethical
behavior [19]. Bandura explained that people learn through observing others’ behavior, attitudes, and
outcomes of those behaviors. Most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling from
observing others. One forms an idea of how new behaviors are performed. On later occasions, this coded
information serves as a guide for action. Based on the explanation above, the research hypothesis is as; H2:
There is an indirect effect of learning styles on students' ethical behavior through ethical climate.
Deep learning theory [9] suggests that each individual has different preferences in their learning
place. Learning is defined as the place where learning occurs, regardless of formal or informal learning
experience [20]. Formal learning takes place in a controlled setting such as ethical education taught in
university. Ethical education that exists in learning largely determines the formation of student ethical
behavior. The purpose of ethics education is to develop a higher level of moral awareness and moral maturity
in students [13]. The student will get ethics education as one of the subjects in their class and grasp the
theoretical framework regarding ethical conduct to cope with the ethical dilemma that one day will face in
the business world. Following the results of [9] in-depth learning about ethics strongly influences ethical
behavior. In-depth learning is a form of habituation to ethical behavior in students. The students believed that
the business ethics class they participated in would bring benefits as their time experiences used as a basis for
ethical behavior in business and work [21]. The research conducted by [5], [22] also found a positive relation
to ethics education on student ethical behavior. Ethical education the formation of student ethical behavior
can be mediated by ethical climate in the classroom. For instance, cheating behavior that makes students get
friends' answers can bring unethical behavior, so cheating behavior eliminated in the individual. The lack of
knowledge and habituation to ethics instilled early so that later when graduating, can have a good character.
Based on the above explanations, the hypotheses of this study are as follows. Based on the description above,
the research hypothesis is as; H3: There is a direct effect of ethics education on students' ethical behavior.
According to social learning theory, people will behave following what sure of value is acceptable
by their environment by observing and gathering information on their surroundings (i.e., ethical climate)
[23]. As the student received ethics education in classes, the interactions with peers outside the classroom
will also lead the student to conduct ethical behavior. While ethics education is a form of formal learning
[24], ethical behavior achieved when the students also experience informal learning such as ethical climate
[25]. Thus we believe that there will be an indirect effect of ethics education to ethical behavior through
ethical climate. Based on the explanation above, the research hypothesis is as; H4: There is an indirect effect
of ethics education on student's ethical behavior through ethical climate.
Learning involves the process of socializing individuals with classes. Consequently, they interact
with each other. Learning theory explained that the ethical climate is a learning space [26]. It means that
learning is an interaction between individuals and the social environment. Students develop experiences and
share them with their groups based on their experience providing support for ethical climates as learning
spaces because they define [13]. Climate is one of the most influential contexts. An ethical climate is a shared
perception of what ethical behavior is suitable and how ethical issues are addressed. Research has shown that
situational factors, such as the existence of a code of ethics, adherence to authority or conformity with
groups, and shared perceptions organizational policies and practices, can have a strong impact on the ethics
of individual behavior [27]. In the university, the fraud has long been recognized as one of unethical behavior
[28]. Fraud can be a dishonest decision. The individual unethical behavior depends on social norms implied
by other members' dishonesty [29]. Therefore, peers and perceptions about fraud can contribute to an ethical
climate that will affect student's academic dishonesty.
According to social learning theory, ethical behavior from individuals derived from how they
process the information of what type of behaviors are acceptable by their society through observation of
others in their surroundings [30]. Moreover, individuals are influenced by their formal experience and
informal factors and social norms or what is considered acceptable by their significant others [31]. The
ethical climate will send a signal to the student within a class that ethical behavior is mandatory. When the
student discovers that unethical behavior is prohibited and punished, they are less likely to perform from such
behavior [32]. Thus, we believe that ethical climate will likely affect the ethical values and behavior on the
student. Based on the explanation above, the research hypothesis is as; H5: There is a direct effect of the
ethical climate on student ethical behavior.
2. RESEARCH METHOD
2.1. The type of research and the samples
This research was used quantitative approach. The population of this research is all students of the
Faculty of Economics who have taken the subject of conservation education, professional ethics for teachers,

and business ethics. In determining the number of samples, it took the Slovin with a margin of error 5%.
Based on this formula, 273 students were obtained. The sampling was taken using a proportionate random
sampling technique.The proportionate random sampling technique is used to determine the number of
samples based on the majors in the Faculty of Economics which are described in Table 1.

2.2. Research variable
The first variable in this study is the learning style, which is student's learning style in the learning
process. The indicators are kinesthetic, aural, visual, and read/write developed using the research instrument
[32]. This is twenty-two questions within this questionnaire which use a seven-point Likert scale (very
strongly disagree=1, strongly disagree=2, disagree=3, neutral=4, agree=5, strongly agree=6, and very
strongly agree=7), and we applied this scale on all of our questions. The second variable is ethics education,
namely moral awareness to produce students who have a particular character, while the indicators are
thieving, sexual abuse, and hiding other friend’s fault, developed from the research of [17], [28]. The ethics
education questionnaire consists of nine questions. The third variables are ethical climate, namely student's
perceptions of what happens ethically correct and how ethical issues must be related to cheating and free
indicators developed from the research of [17], [28]. Ethical climate questionnaire consists of nine questions.
The Fourth variable is ethical behavior following social norms that are generally accepted with the right and
good actions. The measurement for these variables developed from the research of [17], [28], which use ten
questions within the questionnaire.
In Table 2, we present the correlation matrix to confirm the validity of the variables we used. The
criteria used to determine the validity of the questionnaire refer to the previous description that the factor
loading is greater than 0.05 to 0.06, which is considered sufficient as the criteria for meeting convergent
validity. Based on the results of the simultaneous equation structure analysis on the combined loadings and
cross loadings table, it is known that each indicator in the learning style, ethics education, ethical climate, and
ethical behavior variables has a bigger loading factor equal to 0.05 and each is significant (p<0.001).
Furthermore, the consistency level of the measuring instrument is tested followed by testing the
instrument reliability. The measurement of reliability is conducted by one shot or one measurement, where
the measurement is done only once. Then the results are compared with other questions or measuring the
correlation between the answers to the questions. Testing is done by looking at the Cronbach Alpha value. If
the Cronbach Alpha value is> 0.70, then the instrument is reliable. A summary of the results of the pilot test
instrument reliability testing is in Table 3.

2.3. Data analysis technique
Data were collected by distributing the questionnaires. The questionnaires were distributed using
google forms. The result was analyzed by using path analysis. Path analysis was used to give an
interpretation or quantitative interpretation for the relationship between several variables and models. The
aim of path analysis is to determine direct and indirect influences among the number of variables. For testing
the hypothesis, it can be seen from the p-value (probability value). If the p-value is less than 0.05, it means
that hypothesis is accepted. If the p-value is more than 0.05, it means that hypothesis is rejected.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Results
The hypothesis test results can be known from the regression weight table, as shown in Table 4.
There are two accepted hypotheses known from the significance values in column P, which are less than
0.05. The three-star sign indicates that the p-value is less than 0.001. Meanwhile, there are three rejected
hypotheses seen from a significance level of more than 0.05.

Then, to find out the influence between variables can be seen from the standardized regression
weights table. As mention in Table 5, the estimate column shows how much influence between variables. It is
known that learning styles significantly affect ethical behavior by 16%, and ethical education affects ethical
behavior by 60.1%.

To find out the results of whether there is an indirect effect in the model formed, it was tested using
the significance of the indirect effect using the Sobel test. From the results of the double test on the second
hypothesis (H2), there is an indirect influence of learning styles on ethical behavior of students through
ethical climate to obtain a probability value (two-tailed probability) 0.50 (more than 0.05) so that it can be
concluded that this hypothesis 2 rejected. There is no indirect influence of learning styles on student's ethical
behavior through ethical climate. Meanwhile, the results of the double test on the fourth hypothesis (H4),
namely the existence of indirect ethics education influence on ethical behavior of students through ethical
climate obtained a probability value (two-tailed probability) 0.85 (more than 0.05) so that it can be concluded
that the fourth hypothesis (H4) this was rejected. This means that there is no indirect ethics education
influence on student's ethical behavior through ethical climate. Table 6 shows a summary of all hypotheses
results that have been submitted.

3.2. Analysis
3.2.1. The direct effect of learning styles on ethical behavior
Based on the results, the learning styles have directly affected ethical behavior. The results of this
study are in accordance with the study of [9], which resulted in findings that to enable deep learning; students
must be involved in a type of learning that is less often used and of their comfort zone so that learning styles
can influence student ethical behavior. Descriptively, student learning styles are suitable, and the ethical
behavior of the students is also good. It can conclude that if learning styles are good, it will affect students'
ethical behavior to be better. Students' learning styles through visual, aural, read or write, and kinesthetic
learning can form student ethical awareness to compile and reflect the ethical nature of past actions.
Therefore, it is likely that students always behave ethically.

It is in line with humanistic learning theory, which states that there are four stages of learning,
namely the stage of concrete experience, the stages of active and reflective observation, the conceptualization
stage, and the active experimentation stage. The connection with the results of this study is that it starts with
students at the stage of concrete experiences that they see and feel when experiencing various learning styles,
then thinking about how various learning styles and developing learning styles suit students. When deep
learning styles are appropriately regarded and applied, students can apply knowledge to ethical behavior
acquired in everyday life [13], [33].
Individuals differ in their preferences using learning styles because of passion, certain life
experiences, and current environmental demands, which produce different learning styles for different
students [9], [34]. They suggest that various levels of learning space also affect different levels of learning.
When it comes to ethics, the right learning is learning in the form of active experimentation. So that students
can solve conflicts that often occur in individuals. The deep learning is very well used in ethical learning.
They use the experience as a source of learning and solving conflicts that often arise in individuals both
conflict with peers and the environment [1], [11]. To stimulate deep learning, students must be forced out of
their comfort zone to encourage students to be actively involved in learning.
3.2.2. The indirect effect of learning styles towards ethical behavior through ethical climate
Based on the result of the study, learning style does not have any effect on ethical behavior through
an ethical climate. It means learning style does not influence ethical behavior when it is mediated by an
ethical climate. Descriptively, learning style and ethical behavior of students have been good, but not for the
ethical climate. From the result of the study, it can be concluded that learning styles do not have any indirect
influence on ethical influence through ethical climate. Learning styles as individual factors have usually been
owned and formed by the long-term experience felt by students so that the student’s learning type have been
emerged and internalized. The learning styles showed by each student are also different, so that the ethical
behavior shown is various.
Therefore, the ethical climate in the classroom is not able to change students’ ethical behavior [6].
When students have found their suitable learning styles, the ethical behavior shown will also be good
regardless of whether the ethical climate in the classroom is good or not. In addition, students who have bad
learning styles, their ethical behavior will also be bad even though the ethical climate in the classroom has
been good [27], [29]. The result of the study is in line with the humanistic learning theory in which this
theory includes only the internal interaction by individual, started from the step of concrete experience, active
and reflective observation, conceptualization, and active experimentation so that the ethical climate is not
able to mediate the learning styles towards the ethical behavior since the ethical climate is regarded as the
factor outside the individual who is not following the humanistic theory [33], [35].
3.2.3. The direct effect of ethic education towards ethical behavior
Based on the result of the study, ethical education directly affects ethical behavior. The research is
in line with the study of [8], which stated that deep learning about ethics has a strong effect on ethical
behavior. The deep learning is able to form of customary learning of student’s ethical behavior. The students
believe that business ethics class that they follow will benefit because the experience they get can become a
base for ethical behavior in business and work. Descriptively, student’s ethic education is good. It concluded
that good ethical education would improve ethical behavior.
Ethic education got by students through the Introduction to conservation, business ethic, and
professional ethics and teacher’s personality, can create the sensitivity and ethical dilemma felt by the
students so that they can form their moral awareness so that they can arrange and reflect the ethical
characteristics that they get, and then apply the ethical learning they get in daily life [28]. The suitable choice
of learning style made in order to stimulate a deep understanding so that the experience they get can
exacerbate their understanding and ethical behavior [22], [36]. The relation with this study started by students
in the concrete experience stage who can see and feel when they got an ethic subject, and then the students
are started to enter the next stage, which is the observation about how this ethic education is essential to learn
[4], [5]. Then, students will develop the ethical education. They are then inactive experimentation stage so
that they will be interested in practicing the ethical concept they get in their daily lives.
3.2.4. The indirect effect of ethic education towards ethical behavior through ethical climate
Based on the study result, ethics education does not affect ethical behavior through an ethical
climate. The student’s ethic education and ethical behaviore good, but the ethical climate is not. The result of
this study concluded that if ethical education has no indirect effect on ethical behavior through the ethical
climate. Ethical education that students get through formal education is similar; every student must take the

220
Conservation Education, Business Ethics (for non-education students), and personality ethic and teacher
profession (for education students). However, the capability and desire to apply each theory is different [13].
When students get the ethic education and they can accept and understand well, so that ethic
education that they get will try to be applied by students in their daily life so that their ethical behavior is
good, no matter if the ethical climate in the classroom shows the good or bad situation. The existence of
formal ethic education that students get has been enough to grow and form good ethical behavior without
influenced by the good ethical climate [37]. The ethical climate is not able to mediate ethic education
towards the ethical behavior because the ethical climate is regarded as a factor outside the individual who
does not follow the humanistic learning theory [31].
3.2.5. The direct effect of ethical climate towards the ethical behavior
Based on the result of the study, ethical climate does not affect ethical behavior. It is predicted due
to the stronger ethical behavior influenced by the capacity and student's ego, not from the outside factor, such
as ethical climate, in line with the study of [37] who stated that someone’s ego is related theoretically to
moral behavior. The ego strength is defined as the ability to rule his own self, specifically about the
endurance toward the encouragement and determination to follow someone’s belief. Individual capacity for
self-arrangement is related to the relevant result ethically [19]. Descriptively, the ethical climate is not quite
good, whereas ethical behavior has been good. The result of this study concluded that the ethical climate has
no effect on ethical behavior. Based on the existing phenomena, ethical behavior is an action done by
individuals and only related to the individual him/herself, not by other people.
The ethical climate in the classroom is not able to influence the student’s ethical behavior. It is
predicted because most of the students have strong self-belief along with the ethic internalized so that the
environment does not influence them. Individual ethical behavior is difficult to be changed in the short-term,
even though there is an outside influence such as ethical climate in the classroom. When students have had
the self-belief on their good ethics, they will show good ethical behavior. Therefore, the influence outside the
individual, such as ethical climate (cheating in the classroom) cannot change and form the student’s ethical
behavior [6], [38]. In this section, it is explained the results of the research and, at the same time is given a
comprehensive discussion. Results can be presented in figures, graphs, tables and others that make the reader
understand easily. The discussion can be made in several sub-chapters. Learning style and ethics education
can directly influence ethical behavior while the ethical climate has no direct effect on ethical behavior. The
study also shows that ethical climate cannot mediate the influence of learning style and ethics education
toward ethical behavior. This research explains the humanistic learning theory from [9], which stated that
learning style and ethical education could influence the success of individual learning, both cognitive and
behavior [39], [40].
4. CONCLUSION
Learning styles and ethic education had a positive and significant effect on ethical behavior.
However, when those independent variables were mediated by ethical climate the effect was insignificant.
Learning styles and ethical education contribute significantly to the formation of good behavior and student’s
character. Deep learning ethics has a strong influence on ethical behavior. Moreover, learning styles and
ethics education play an essential role in shaping student’s behavior. The ethical climate of the university is
an informal learning space where students can be good members of the climate and gain concrete
experiences, in a sense the practical application of vicarious learning. We consider the theory and evidence
supporting ethical behavior students with vicarious learning styles and ethic education. This is supporting a
learning style approach that suggests that it offers benefits to students. The students can get the good
character that used in the class, workplace, and society. Based on our findings, we recommend more research
into the interaction of teacher attitude and ethical climate-related to several outcomes linked to developing
more ethical students.
The limitation of this study is we are not using any control variables. The independent variables that
we use in this research are mean to be tested. We highly recommend that any attempt to re-examine the same
model with ours add control variables such as the learning environment, the lecture, or the peer person to
ensure that the model is robust.
