Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has shaped the characteristics of Generation Alpha learners, who are highly familiar with technology, visually oriented, interactive, and accustomed to instant access to information. These changes create new challenges for teachers in carrying out their professional duties. Many educational practices still rely on conventional approaches that are less relevant to current students. This study aims to analyze the importance of teacher professional ethics in responding to the changing character of Generation Alpha students. This research uses a qualitative library research approach by examining books, journal articles, and relevant academic sources. The findings show that teacher professional ethics remain a fundamental basis in education, but their implementation must be adjusted to current developments. Ethical values such as responsibility, integrity, fairness, exemplary conduct, empathy, and professionalism need to be integrated with digital literacy and adaptive learning approaches. The study also finds a gap between the ideal concept of teacher ethics and educational realities, where some teachers still face limitations in technology mastery and innovative teaching strategies. Therefore, redefining teacher professional ethics in the modern era is necessary to meet the needs of Generation Alpha learners.
