Moral Task of the Teacher According to Students, Parents and Teachers

Abstract What do parents, teachers and students in secondary education currently believe to be the moral task of the teacher and how do they think about the 2 dominant concepts in educational theory: transfer of values and value communication? A survey study among teachers, parents and students, and group interviews show that the 2 different methods, transfer of values and value communication, are both important in educational practice. Teachers try to combine these models in their educational practice: Teachers at the same time broaden the students' skills to communicate and they show values which are important for the teachers themselves.
