Innovation in Tertiary Education and Professional Codes of Ethics

AbstractInformation and communication technologies are one of the prerequisites and expressions of development of transversal reason. The use of ICT in the process of tertiary education opens up new opportunities for individualistic approach to education on the one hand and on the other hand opportunities for interconnection among students as well as students and teachers. In this context it is necessary to update and modify the content of professional codes of ethics for teachers and future graduates who are being prepared for their demanding jobs whereas these are seen not only as the application of acquired knowledge and skills, but also as an activity associated with self-realisation and social prestige. The paper presents the opinions of university students in the context of innovations in education in the sense of its computerization and formation of new foundations of professional codes of ethics and ways of their implementation and application. These views are obtained from the analysis of studentś essays devoted to this issue
