This thesis examines ethical issues in educational institutions, focusing on the Neven Kindergarten in Rovinj. The goal of the research was to analyze the perception of educators about the code of ethics in the context of conducting pedagogical research with children. The results showed that many educators are not sufficiently familiar with the ethical code, which leads to challenges in research practice and potential violations of children's rights. Also, the analysis did not show a significant correlation between the age of educators and their willingness to participate in research, which indicates the need for additional education and workshops focused on the ethical aspects of research. It is important to point out that research work with children must be carried out with full attention to the protection of their rights, and the code of ethics can serve as a basis for responsible and ethically sound research. It is recommended that educators be regularly educated and made aware of the importance of ethical norms in order to ensure that all aspects of the research are in accordance with the rules and principles that protect the most vulnerable research participants.
