For this purpose, a mixed research method has been used. In the quantitative part, a semi-experimental research design with pre-test-post-test and control group was used. ۱ class of elementary education students entering october ۲۰۱۹ who had taken the teacher's professional ethics course were considered as the experimental group and ۱ class of students of the same field and entry who had not taken this course were considered as the control group. The data collection tool was Qasimzadeh's professional ethics questionnaire (۲۰۱۳). Data analysis was done by descriptive statistics, univariate covariance analysis and SPSS۲۲ software. In the qualitative part, the thematic analysis of Brawn and Clark’s (۲۰۰۶) was used.

In the qualitative part, the challenges of this program include the challenges of the field of thought (the weakening of morals in the society; disregarding the value and dignity of teachers) and the challenges of the field of practice (the conflict between theory and practice; curriculum problems ) was analyzed. Also, strategies for promoting ethics education at two university levels (student recruitment policies; professor selection policies; continuous empowerment) and classroom (choosing appropriate content; using appropriate teaching methods) were identified.
