VIRT2UE Training Guide
The VIRT2UE Train the Trainer program is aimed at researchers and educators from different disciplines who want to become trainers in Research Integrity. The training takes a virtue-based approach and supports participants in reflecting on their understanding of, and own positions towards, research integrity. In line with this, a strong focus is put on fostering reflecting on personal cases and experiences with the intention of building strong connections between theory and practice.
Learning objectives for the train-the-trainer course are to:
- Identify and apply the core principles and recommended good practices of the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity
- Understand core virtue ethics concepts and terms and relate virtue ethics to research integrity
- Facilitate case-based and experiential exercises aimed at fostering reflection on virtues
- Critically reflect on experiences of teaching
- Adapt teaching approaches based on the target group characteristics
