A mixed-methods approach was employed, consisting of quantitative data from 425 students selected via multistage sampling and qualitative data from 25 students selected via purposive sampling, totaling 450 participants. Data were collected by using questionnaires and in-depth interviews, and were analyzed using t-tests, ANOVA. The results show that gender, type of educational institution, and participation in professional training influenced students’ ethical consciousness which was at a medium level.
