Abstract

This research investigates teachers’ perspectives on students’ communication ethics within the school environment at MTs PAB 2 Sampali. The aims are: (1) to explore teachers’ viewpoints regarding students’ communication ethics; (2) to assess how these perspectives influence students’ communication behavior; and (3) to identify the factors that shape such perceptions. A qualitative descriptive method was applied, with participants purposively chosen from teachers experienced in guiding students’ ethical conduct. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed following the Miles and Huberman framework covering data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Results reveal that teachers regard communication ethics as vital for character development, stressing the importance of polite language, respect for conversation partners, and appropriateness to context. Factors influencing these perceptions include family background, peer relationships, school culture, and exposure to social media. Teachers suggest ongoing guidance through role modeling, habit cultivation, rule enforcement, and digital literacy programs. In conclusion, teachers’ perceptions are both significant and constructive, underscoring the need for joint efforts by schools, families, and communities to nurture students’ communication ethics.
