Experiential Learning and Research Ethics: Enhancing Knowledge through Action
Teixeira-Poit, Stephanie M.; Cameron, Abigail E.; Schulman, Michael D.
Teaching Sociology, v39 n3 p244-258 Jul 2011
How can instructors use experiential learning strategies to enhance student understanding of research ethics and responsible research conduct? In this article, the authors review literature on using experiential learning to teach research ethics and responsible research conduct. They present a three-step exercise for teaching research ethics and responsible research conduct using experiential learning strategies. Their primary teaching and learning objective is to broaden student understanding of ethical behavior beyond notions of "right" and "wrong" to a conception of ethical behavior involving thinking critically about all stages of the research process. The authors present assessment data that suggest that participation in the exercise increased knowledge about ethical guidelines and broadened understandings of ethical behavior. (Contains 3 tables.)
