The purpose of this article was to analyze the impact of ethical behavior on students. To this end, a systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA method. As inclusion criteria, articles indexed in high-impact databases such as Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), and SciELO, published between 2021 and 2025, were selected. The results were obtained after examining a total of 494 articles, of which 24 were selected: 9 from Scopus, 7 from WoS, and 8 from SciELO. The findings reveal that ethics education for students is fundamental to their professional and social development. It should not be limited solely to the use of control mechanisms but should be integrated into the academic process to foster responsibility and honesty. Furthermore, it is crucial to promote responsible and sustainable professional practices, as well as to educate individuals committed to their environment. Finally, the conclusions highlight that developing ethical behavior requires enhancing soft skills and promoting decision-making based on ethical principles. Educational interventions, using recreation, practical experiences, counseling, and case studies, are effective strategies for helping students understand and apply these principles. This also ensures the strengthening of their emotional and social skills, enabling them to confront ethical dilemmas without compromising their values or psychological well-being.
