Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

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.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Medicine
Laboratory Animal Science
Educational Technology

Background:

Traditional animal-centered teaching methods in veterinary education can be resource-intensive and raise ethical concerns.
Advancements in technology offer new avenues for effective and ethical training in experimental techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce the Good Practices in Animal Research (BPEA) platform as a modern educational tool for laboratory rodent experimental techniques.
To evaluate the effectiveness of video-based learning in complementing traditional veterinary education.

Main Methods:

Development of a video library demonstrating experimental procedures (e.g., substance administration, blood collection) with supporting materials.
Implementation of an intuitive navigation system for easy content access.
Analysis of website traffic and integration into a university curriculum.

Main Results:

Widespread usage observed, particularly from Portuguese-speaking countries.
Positive student feedback on BPEA as a supplementary resource for bridging theory and practice.
Demonstrated potential for promoting ethical teaching and reducing animal stress.

Conclusions:

BPEA serves as a valuable resource for laboratory animal science education, supporting ethical standards.
A blended approach combining video-based learning with hands-on training is optimal for comprehensive skill development.
Continuous improvement based on user feedback enhances its utility for future educational advancements.
