Resumen
This work piece aims to analyze the perceptions about ethics education from both teachers and students of Accounting Sciences at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Its target audience is the aforementioned students and faculty members of the undergraduate course. The sample was composed of 153 students and 24 teachers. In order to obtain the perceptions about the topic, two different questionnaires, one for each group, were sent and applied. The two of them have three sections: the first one is the same for both questionnaires and it contains questions about ethics in several contexts; the second one is focused on each group individually and it consists of questions about education ethics inside the educational institution; and the last section is composed of questions about the respondent’s profile and background information. The results of the study reveal that both students and teachers believe it is appropriate that educators include ethics in their subjects. Furthermore, both groups reckon that an ethics subject would help them solve moral and ethical issues faced by accounting professionals. In addition, the research indicates substantial differences between students’ and faculty members’ opinions about the importance of ethics in various discussions. For instance, the link between accounting teaching and moral questions, the detection of accounting questions with ethical implications, the establishment of a sense of moral responsibility, the development of essential abilities to deal with ethical conflicts and dilemmas, and the importance to cope with the uncertainties of the accounting profession – aspects that are considered more relevant by teachers. Thus, despite the difference of perspective between groups, both students and teachers believe ethics plays an important role within business and educational environments, as wells as in the process of making personal decisions inside and outside the business environment.
