Abstract

Our paper presents the results of a type of qualitative research meant to identify the perspective of teachers in higher education on the ethical issues related to information technology use. The research is based on the analysis of the data content obtained by applying a semi-structured interview to 31 teachers working in higher education institutions in Romania. The data processing and interpretation allowed the identification and definition of the general and specific thematic categories related to the perception of teachers in higher education on the ethical aspects of information technology use. The research results are analyzed from the perspective of the following thematic directions: ethical problems of the use of information technology by teachers in teaching-learning-evaluation activities, ethical problems of the exploitation of technological resources in carrying out research activities, problematic aspects of the ethical use of technological tools in online communication, teacher training in higher education in the field of ethical use of IT, introduction of these topics in academic courses, existence of rules at the university level for teacher ethical use of IT.
