What is this about?

This module introduces a collection of learning cards developed by the EU funded initiative Path2Integrity. Learning cards are an engaging, interactive tool designed to teach ethics and research integrity by fostering critical thinking and discussion. These tools present real-life scenarios, dilemmas, or guiding questions that challenge learners to apply ethical principles, encouraging collaborative problem-solving and reflection on best practices in research conduct.

The following training material can be used within and/or outside the academic environment.

Practical Tips

We recommend that trainers and teachers define the needs and skill level of the group to be trained before selecting the material to be used. This is due to the fact that the career stage often does not reflect the level of skills and competences in terms of research ethics and integrity.

PATH2INTEGRITY

Target audience: Secondary school students, bachelor and master students, doctoral students and early career researchers Using the Path2Integrity learning materials and methods in an adaptable and sustainable manner is the main goal of the Path2Integrity training programme for educators (P2ITE), which aims to improve educators' and teachers' competencies, confidence, and abilities to teach research integrity effectively. This includes engaging and creative teaching and learning techniques like role-playing and storytelling. Path 2 integrity developed a series of learning cards focusing on students in high schools (Path2Integrity learning cards S) on bachelor students, (Path2Integrity learning cards M) alongside a dedicated handbook and doctoral students (Path2Integrity learning cards Y). Each set of learning cards comes with a handbook for educators (S-Series handbook, M-Series handbook, Y-Series handbook)
