The discipline «Ethics of a Higher School Teacher» is aimed at shaping the moral values and the spiritual  core of future teachers. The article reveals the timeliness, relevance and importance of the discipline, as well as the social and psychological significance of the teacher’s compliance with the norms of professional ethics. As moral norms, principles and rules are formed under the
influence of teachers’ own example rather than under the influence of their words, considerable attention is paid to the personal characteristics of a higher school teachers, their motivation to self-analysis of their own actions, identification of typical behavioral errors, connected with violation of professional ethics. General, professional competencies and results of mastering the
discipline are clearly defined. The objectives of the discipline are related to the disclosure of the psychological and social significance of the teacher’s compliance with the professional ethics; acquaintance of higher education students with the norms and rules of ethical behavior; formation of experience of analysis and solution of moral and ethical problems that arise in the professional activity of a higher school teacher; formation of moral values and corresponding personality traits; gaining the experience in ensuring a mutual contact of the higher school teacher with colleagues and students and prevention of conflict situations; development of ethical culture in future teachers of higher education institutions on a reflexive basis, encouraging them to analyze their own actions; identification of common mistakes in the teacher’s behavior, which are associated with a violation of professional morality; disclosure of features of ethical behavior of the teacher at the analysis of the complicated administrative situations; learning the technology of developing an algorithm for interaction with colleagues and students on an ethical basis.
Quite logically, the content reflects the essence, principles, methods, psychological mechanisms of moral and ethical education, as it underlies the formation of moral and ethical values. The topics related to the ethical norms of pedagogical communication of teachers with their colleagues and students, ensuring mutual contact, prevention and resolution of conflict situations are quite meaningful. The role of the discipline is that the personal and professional development of the future higher school teacher cannot be complete without parallel spiritual improvement, just as technical progress will not be humane in moral and spiritual regress. In both cases, the disbalance will create obstacles to a quality result.
