Special education teachers at work in primary school are daily engaged in different relatonships with other participants of the educational process such as students, teachers, administrators, school management and external educational institutions, therefore it is essencial for their work to maintain professional and ethical stance.
In the theoretical part, based on literature, we learn more about ethics and moral, professional practice, ethical dillemas and their solutions as well as code of ethics. We learn about the role of the special education teacher in primary school, the roles of other participants in the educational process, the meaning of cooperation and team work, as well as negative impacts on cooperation, which may lead to work dilemmas.
The empirical part is presented in the interview with the special education teacher and shows that work dilemmas occur in relationship with every participant of the educational process, although mostly with teachers and parents.
Finally, due to the analysis and comparison of code of ethics for psychologists, social educators, social workers and special and rehabilitaion educators we offer suggestions for the changes in the Code of Ethics for special education teachers.
