- Title
PUBLIC ETHICS VS. PERSONAL MOTIVES IN SPECIAL EDUCATION: CONSCIENCE FOR SPECIAL EDUCATORS?
- Authors
Kelly, Edward J.
- Abstract
This paper provides an overview of major career rationales in special education with emphasis given to altruistic, economic, entrepreneurial, epistemological, idiosyncratic, incompetent, and personal motives. The ethical implications of each motive are discussed, and contrasts between motive rationales are drawn. The article suggests that the discrepancies which may exist between a profession's "public ethic" and the motives of many of its practitioners, bears closer examination by both special and general educators.
