Professional ethics in teacher preparation is an area that has received minimal attention in the special education literature. In this systematic review, 18 journals affiliated with the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) were examined for their coverage of professional ethics over a 30-year period (1988–2018). Results showed that an average of about two articles were published each year on professional ethics and that the majority of the articles were nonempirical academic papers. Only 14% of the articles referenced the CEC’s Code of Ethics and/or Standards for Professional Practice. More than 40% of the articles addressing professional ethics acknowledged ethical issues related to teacher preparation, yet there were no empirical studies conducted with preservice special education teachers. Future directions for research and practice are discussed.

在特殊教育文献中，教师准备方面的职业道德是受到最少关注的领域。在这项系统的审查中，对30年来（1988-2018年）的18名隶属于特殊儿童理事会（CEC）的期刊进行了职业道德研究。结果表明，每年平均大约发表两篇有关职业道德的文章，并且大多数文章是非经验性的学术论文。只有14％的文章引用了CEC的《道德守则》和/或《专业实践标准》。超过40％的有关职业道德的文章都承认与教师准备有关的道德问题，但是还没有对职前特殊教育教师进行实证研究。讨论了研究和实践的未来方向。
