The BEYOND Trainer Guide serves as a comprehensive resource for educators seeking to equip and support researchers and research communities with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to conduct research ethically and with integrity. By fostering critical reflection, ethical decision-making, and responsible behaviour, educators play a critical role in training the next generation of researchers who are committed to the highest ethical standards in their work.
The BEYOND Trainer Guide provides a research-based overview of state-of-the art in teaching research ethics and integrity. According to the extant knowledge base, case-based and collaborative teaching and learning activities, which make use of scaffolding techniques are the best ways to support learning in the context of research ethics and integrity.
This guide provides guidance on how to effectively design teaching activities to foster responsible conduct of research to different target groups, such as students, early career researchers, experienced researchers and supervisors. It draws on prior research on teaching and learning research ethics and integrity and makes use of the vast training resources produced through selected EU-funded projects targeting ethics and integrity. It is a comprehensive resource equipped to empower trainers in delivering impactful training sessions. Trainers can adapt and personalize it based on their specific audience, training context, and personal style. But its core purpose remains clear: to equip trainers with the knowledge, strategies, and resources needed to deliver engaging, informative, and ultimately impactful training sessions. by bringing together research-based knowledge about research ethics and integrity teaching and learning, trainings produced in several EU-funded projects, and templates and activities for adapting materials to various target groups.

Introduction to the evaluation of the effectiveness of Research Ethics and Integrity (REI) training +
We may start with a simple question: why measure research ethics and integrity (REI) training effectiveness? To teachers this may sound like a strange question as this is one of the main things teachers need to do – making a conclusion if the learners are learning, improving, developing. Watts et al. (2017) also highlight that occasionally various authorities require evidence of people improving their knowledge and skills as a result of a training.
Measuring the effectiveness of training is like conducting research – there should be a guiding question (e.g. What do participants learn, and how is that related to what they are meant to learn through the training? How do learning activities encourage engagement and learning?), then there should be a tool to collect information and a means to analyse the information. Finally, results should be interpreted, and one can make a conclusion about whether the training achieves its aims.
The BEYOND Measurement toolbox introduced in this module gives an overview of large-scale as well as small-scale feasible measurement instruments on short, medium and long-term training effects adapted to the needs of a variety of target groups and different fields/domains. We understand the measurement of training effect through the learning achieved and displayed as a result of participation in training. This means that the learning is always relative to the goals of the training. The examples of how to understand the learning taking place in REI training may be good for certain types of training and contexts, whereas in others they may not be feasible. Because training, its learning objectives and the pedagogical approaches vary, we have aimed to present a broad array of measurements and other means of evaluating the learning that takes place.
Tools include a variety of examples ranging from self-evaluation instruments to pre-post-texts, to physiological markers to the use of authentic learning activities, from individual measurement to group learning, from micro to macro level. We have not restricted this exploration and analysis to include strictly means of measurement in a quantitative sense of the word but have also included qualitative indicators of the worth or success of training.
