The purpose of this paper was to examine the aspects that health education teacher trainees saw as ethically-related within the teaching and learning of health education. The findings showed that ethics was related to three themes: subject matter, ethical teacher and learning spaces. The authors conclude that the study gives some insights into how teacher trainees reflect on and express ethical aspects related to their future work. Furthermore, teacher trainees should become aware of how their perspectives may influence their teaching practices, since the teacher’s ways of seeing something may very well have an association with the way she or he will organize classroom practices.
