Development of Ethical Qualities of Being a Teacher for the Fulfillment of Complete Humanity

Abstract

This article presents the development of the ethical qualities of being a teacher for the fulfillment of complete humanity, which is important for the advancement of education management and social development. It starts with the development of the "teacher" at the beginning, ensuring that they are exemplary, have potential, and possess moral and ethical values, serving as role models for the "students" at the other end. These students will follow the teacher's example and become good individuals for their families, society, and the nation.
In the development of being a teacher for the fulfillment of complete humanity, the principles of the Seven Qualities of a Noble Friend (Kalayanamittadharma) can be applied. These principles are: 1) Piyo – Being lovable by showing compassion. 2) Garu – Being respectable. 3) Bhāvanīyo – Being encouraging and uplifting. 4) Vattā – Knowing how to speak effectively. 5) Vacanakkhamo – Being patient with words. 6) Gambhīrañca kathaṃ kattā – Being able to discuss profound matters. 7) No caṭṭhāne niyojaye – Not leading others into harmful actions.
A teacher who embodies these qualities can perform their duties effectively, helping students become fully developed human beings and contributing to societal progress.
