In the first learning unit, students learn about the research cycle and are introduced to the RCR Reflection Model.
The RCR Reflection Model was developed in the H2020 Integrity project to help students reflect on integrity dilemmas. The model consists of four steps (explore the context, analyze, balance/decide, and conclude/act). For each of these steps, course participants go through a series of questions that help them reflect and work towards a conclusion.
After learning about this model, participants will practice applying it to a case in groups.Data collection and handling
In this learning unit, students will learn about the GDPR regulations and apply them to a case. They will also study the principles and considerations that are important in ethics review, respond to statements about the ethics of data collection, read articles on the ethics of big data, and learn about data books.
Data analysis
In this learning unit, participants analyze a case in groups using the RCR reflection model. They will present their analysis in the second live meeting of the course.
Data storage and management
In the fourth learning unit, participants learn the basics of writing a Data Management Plan (DMP). At the end of the LU, students make their third and final portfolio assignment.
Open science and intellectual property
In this learning unit, students give and receive peer feedback on the portfolio assignments, reflect on the open science movement, consider the implications of the replication crisis for their research, and are introduced to intellectual property and different licences and discuss a case related to this topic.
