Introduction to Responsible Supervision, Mentoring and Role-modeling
InstructionsIntroduction to Responsible Supervision, Mentoring and Role-modeling
This is one of a four part series. The other three series are: "Introduction to Research Integrity" , "Introduction of Virtue Ethics to Research Integrity" and "Virtue ethics under current research conditions".
You should have experience of research in practice (e.g. be employed as a researcher) or be a trainer/educator/teacher who has had experience in research in the past.

Please note that no information will be saved or stored after you have closed the browser window/tab. This has two major implications: (1) Whenever you close your browser window/tab, your progress will not be saved and you will have to start the module anew. It is not necessary to complete the course in one go, but recommended to leave the browser window/tab open (and the computer/laptop running). (2) In case you aim to save your reflections, you are kindly asked to copy/paste your input in a separate document and save it on your computer, BEFORE you submit your input.Why responsible supervision, mentoring and role modeling?
This module highlights the importance of good and responsible supervision, mentoring and role-modeling in research environments. Such practices create open and safe environments where problems like poor mental health, anxiety, discrimination and harassment and fraudulent practices might be reduced.
Roles and responsibilities in supervision and mentoring
This module explores the different roles and corresponding responsibilities in research environments, allowing the researchers to recognize themselves in such roles and responsibilities. Furthermore, a virtue ethics approach is applied to supervision, mentoring and role-modeling with some interactive exercises.
Challenges and ambitions
The third episode is currently under construction.
