Ethics in Research

25.3K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Role-Based Identity01:21

Role-Based Identity

129
Role-based identities are central to understanding how individuals navigate social environments by adopting distinct self-conceptions aligned with various societal roles. These identities are not fixed traits but are constructed through personal actions and the social feedback individuals receive in context-specific interactions. Each social role, such as student, teacher, or friend, carries a set of expectations and norms that influence how people think, feel, and behave within that...

Ethics and Bioethics

2.4K
Ethics is a philosophical study of moral actions. Ethics attempts to determine what is valuable for individuals and society. It examines the rational justification of moral judgments and analyzes what is morally just, fair, and right. Bioethics is a sub-discipline of applied ethics that analyzes the philosophical, social, and legal issues in life sciences and medicine. Ethical theories serve as a foundation for decision-making and represent the viewpoints from which people seek direction. They...

Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game

131
The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science Education
  • Software Engineering Ethics
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Growing consensus on the importance of computer ethics education.
  • Challenge in equipping computing students to navigate ethical dilemmas in technical work.
  • Need for effective pedagogical approaches in computer ethics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design, test, and evaluate an educational simulation for computer ethics.
  • To enhance students' capacity for ethical decision-making in computing.
  • To bridge the gap between theoretical ethics and practical application in technical roles.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an educational simulation based on the Values at Play framework.
  • Incorporated empirical observations of ethical challenges in mobile app design.
  • Translated findings into an online simulation and a board game format.
  • Evaluated effectiveness using pre-post moral sensitivity tests (Defining Issues Test) and student experience questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • The simulation increased students' reported interest in technology ethics.
  • Students found the role-playing activity relevant to their technical coursework.
  • Both online and board game formats demonstrated effectiveness in engaging students with ethical issues.

Conclusions:

  • Educational simulations, particularly role-playing games, can effectively enhance ethical decision-making skills in computing students.
  • Experiential learning through simulations makes computer ethics more relevant and impactful.
  • This approach supports the integration of ethics as a core component of technical education.
