Teaching professional issues in computing through the development of a student code of ethics

Abstract

This paper considers the question how professional issues can be taught in an undergraduate environment where little academic experience is to be expected. It develops a theoretical framework which justifies the need for such teaching and indicates that codes of conduct can be a useful vehicle to address these issues. Given the constructivist teaching theory that was deemed appropriate for the subject, the paper proceeds to discuss the realisation of the teaching of professional standards in a HNC programme in a UK university. The paper discusses the result of the module and the strengths and weaknesses of the approach
