Edit a module

With this form, you create a step-by-step module on research integrity or ethics. This can be used to provide instruction on a particular topic. You might want to use it for a tutorial, teaching material, case analysis tool, or an educational game.

Every single module is intended for just one type of user. That sets it apart. It might be that you write an instruction for a group session with a facilitator and participants. You would then need to write two pages, one with the steps, for facilitators and one with the steps for participants.

Before you submit, please be aware of our community guidelines.

Do you want your training and project to be featured on the Embassy?

Feel free to contact us to discuss the options.

Module

This is one of a four part series. The other three series are: [[Instruction:86f47366-a189-4395-9301-36ddb6d1fc68|"Introduction of Virtue Ethics to Research Integrity"]] , [[Instruction:43c900ea-a317-4528-8ece-1f3fb3564867|"Virtue ethics under current research  conditions]] and [https://embassy.science/wiki/Instruction:D3ee617b-5d9b-4c47-a015-030b0354c9d2 "Introduction to responsible supervision, mentoring and role-modeling".]

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.

By taking eLearning modules you will learn about: <br />

*'''[https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/other/hi/h2020-ethics_code-of-conduct_en.pdf The European Code of Conduct for research Integrity (ECoC)]:'''                          You will be introduced to the content of the code while reflecting on the good practices and breaches described in the text.  <br />
*'''Responsible conduct of research, research misconduct, and questionable research practice:'''                                                                      You will learn about the differences between responsible practices, misconduct and gray areas and reflect on how these are addressed in the ECoC.

*'''The variety of factors that influence research behavior:'''                         You will be guided in a reflection about a researcher's responsibilities and the possible reasons for violations of good research conduct at the level of: 1) individual researchers, 2) the research culture, and 3) the research system.

This module explores research integrity on three levels, the individual researcher, research culture, as well as the research system. Drawing largely upon the report “What researchers think about the culture they work in” by WELLCOME for Shift Learning (2020)[[#%20ftn1|[1]]], different aspects of research integrity are discussed. This discussion is further complemented by the introduction of the Hong Kong Principles for Assessing Researchers[[#%20ftn2|[2]]].

Perspective Trainer

This series of eLearning modules provides an introduction to research integrity. By taking this modules learners will:

<br />

*'''Identify the purpose and the content of the ECoC'''. Throughout the series, the ECoC is introduced and quoted as an important source of guidance for research integrity. A drag-and-drop exercise aims to familiarize the learner with the code’s content, and introduces some guidance outlined in the document. In another exercise, learners are invited to reflect on practices which are described as breaches of research integrity in the ECoC.
*'''Distinguish between responsible conduct of research, research misconduct, and questionable research practices and link these to their description in the ECoC'''. In the series, the difference between responsible conduct of research, research misconduct, and questionable research practices is described. The prevalence and impact of research misconduct and breaches of responsible research practices are also examined, and which principles and norms from the ECoC are violated in cases of certain research misbehaviours are identified.
*'''Become aware of the variety of factors that influence research behaviour and their own responsibilities related to these factors'''. In the module, possible reasons for research integrity violations are described at the level of: 1) individual researchers, 2) the research culture, and 3) the research system. Learners link guidance in the ECoC targeted at each of these three areas. Finally, learners reflect on how publication pressure affects their own research practices.
