VIRT2UE Train the Trainer program
BackVIRT2UE Train the Trainer program
This guide provides practical guidance on how to organise and experience a blended learning train-the trainer program in research integrity. This training builds on a virtue-based approach to research integrity and aims to support the adoption of the principles and practices outlined in the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (ECoC). The program is composed of offline and online modules. While online materials are designed for individual learning and reflection, the face-to-face sessions offer opportunities for interactive, reflective and problem-solving group activities.
In detail
This blended learning training program will enable you to develop knowledge of the main issues and concepts of research integrity and support you in developing the didactical competencies necessary to conduct a train-the-trainer course on research integrity. The training takes a virtue based approach and aims at cultivating intrinsic motivations to engage in good research practices, and providing the skills and knowledge to foster the same attitude in others. At the same time, the training aims at ‘passing the expertise’ and to support you in developing an attitude and didactical competencies of a trainer who will train others.
Trainers are encouraged to adapt materials in order to make them more suitable for the context in which they will offer their training. This supports contextualised teaching across different countries and disciplines and promotes the internalisation of the practices and principles of the ECoC.
This training has been developed by the VIRT2UE project, which has received funding form the European Union’s H2020 research programme under grant agreement N 741782.
