Successfully Teaching Ethics for Effective Learning
Sims, Ronald R.; Felton, Edward L., Jr.
College Teaching Methods & Styles Journal, v1 n3 p31-48 2005
This paper is concerned with identifying keys to successfully teach ethics. The keys are: addressing the relevance challenge; striving to achieve a balance between the active engagement of students with issues and a critical analysis of choices in to be made in real-life situations; attending to or managing the learning process to include learning styles and experiential learning; debriefing experientially-oriented learning activities; and institutionalizing outcomes of ethics education objectives. The paper discusses results of a study that attempted to answer the question "What is required to successfully deliver experientially-oriented ethics education?" (Contains 1 table.)
