Work in progress — introducing graduate students to ethical deliberation and Case Analysis in Research Ethics

摘要

This paper describes a work in progress focused on graduate education activities that will immerse graduate students in Research Ethics. The project aims to develop ethical awareness and basic skills in moral deliberation. Because these workshops will verify common concerns in Research Ethics, it is expected that they will also produce results valuable to other institutions. The ethical deliberation workshop is the second in a series of four workshops introducing the students to the basic issues in Research Ethics. The moral deliberation workshop will be followed by a Case Analysis Workshop which includes the analysis of famous cases of Research Ethics misconduct as well as hypothetical cases that are likely to be encountered in the student’s career. The hypothetical cases include situations related to fabrication, falsification and plagiarism.
