Objective: The aim of this study is determining the effect of hidden curriculum elements on the professional ethics components of graduate engineering students. Methods: The method of this research is correlational and the statistical population included all PhD students of engineering faculties of Shahid Beheshti University in the year 1400, numbering 321 people. A total of 176 people were selected from this population using Cochran's random sampling method. The research data was collected through a researcher-made questionnaire. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS-26 software. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient, multiple regression and path analysis. Results: The results of the study show a positive and significant relationship (p>0.01) between the elements of the hidden curriculum (including the teacher, learning partners, the field of practice and the educational system) and the responsibility dimension of engineering ethics, as well as among all the components of the program. A hidden lesson except learning partners has a positive and significant relationship with engineering ethics (p>0.01). Conclusion: Paying attention to these elements can provide the possibility of improving the hidden curriculum of ethics, play a significant role in improving the professional ethics of engineering students. More research in the field of engineering curricula will create a bright future for this profession and society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
