Abstract
The paper considers the possibility of establishing pedagogical deontology by considering three different philosophical concepts through which the ethical discourse of educational activity emphasizes the enduring need for moral educational action. This point of view indicates the strong need to update, nurture and develop the moral awareness of educators, which in the educational process is mediated to the student as a moral knowledge and experience. The deontological approach in the pedagogical activity includes the professional duties of the educator in relations to the student, other factors of the educational activity and towards the entire profession. The paper presents three different philosophical concepts of the idea of duty presented in the works of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Immanuel Kant and Jeremy Bentham. By analysing the author’s observations and determinants of the idea of duty, guidelines for a modern approach to desirable moral educational action can be determined. The paper views the idea of duty as an obligation, responsibility and awareness of educational workers whose actions and statements affect the overall development of the personality of students. Therefore, the educational process, in addition to development, must necessarily act on the protection of students from possible harmful influences that appear every day as morally questionable and educationally unacceptable.
