Edit a module

With this form, you create a step-by-step module on research integrity or ethics. This can be used to provide instruction on a particular topic. You might want to use it for a tutorial, teaching material, case analysis tool, or an educational game.

Every single module is intended for just one type of user. That sets it apart. It might be that you write an instruction for a group session with a facilitator and participants. You would then need to write two pages, one with the steps for facilitators and one with the steps for participants.

Before you submit, please be aware of our community guidelines.

This module draws upon the notion of communal practices by Alasdair MacIntyre[[#%20ftn1|[1]]] and introduces relevant concepts, such as difference between the concepts of values and norms, as well as moral conflicts and moral dilemmas. In an exercise, the application of these differentiations and the transfer of knowledge into distinguishing two cases from the Rotterdam Dilemma Game[[#%20ftn2|[2]]], one of which portrays a moral conflict, the other one a moral dilemma.

This series of eLearning modules provides an introduction to virtue ethics and its relevance for research integrity. By taking these modules, learners will need to:

<br />

*'''Demonstrate a basic understanding of key characteristics of virtue ethics.''' After watching an introductory video on virtue ethics, learners are required to answer a set of five multiple choice questions that aim to summarize the most relevant characteristics of virtue ethics. Learners get instant feedback on whether their responses are correct or not.

*'''Distinguish between a [[Theme:17d406f9-0b0f-4325-aa2d-2fe186d5ff34|moral conflict and a moral dilemma]].''' In an exercise that follows information about the difference between the concepts of values and norms, as well as moral conflicts and moral dilemmas, learners are required to apply these differentiations and transfer their knowledge into distinguishing two cases from the Rotterdam Dilemma Game, one of which portrays a moral conflict, the other one a moral dilemma.

*'''Identify with their own aspirations to become a more virtuous researcher.''' In a two-step exercise, learners are first invited to write their own laudation, which requires them to adopt a perspective of temporal distance (a look into the future) and simultaneously an inter- rather than an intrapersonal perspective at themselves as researchers. This way, they may reflect on their overarching goals as researchers that may differ from their everyday aspirations. At the end of the module, learners are asked to identify the three most important virtues that the description of themselves entails.

*'''Reflect on the influence of moral exemplar(s) on moral development and the cultivation of virtues.''' In a reflection exercise following information on how virtues are learnt, and taught, and what a good role model/mentor entails, learners are invited to reflect on a particular situation, in which someone they looked up to inspired them to act more virtuously.
