Path2Integrity Handbooks for Teachers and Trainers
ResourcesPath2Integrity Handbooks for Teachers and Trainers
What is this about?
Path2Integrity has created several learning units on research integrity, divided into three series:
- S-series (for secondary school and undergraduate students, pre-disciplinary)
- M-series (for graduate students, disciplinary)
- Y-series (for early career researchers, post-disciplinary)
Why is this important?
The Handbooks for Teachers and Trainers help educators navigate the learnings cards created by the Path2Integrity project. Focusing mostly on pedagogy and didactics, they provide examples of various good practices and ways to integrate learning units on research integrity into existing as well as new curricula. Thus, the handbooks accompany the Path2Integrity train-the-trainer program (to be launched in summer 2021) in the quest to facilitate effective teaching and learning of research integrity from the secondary school level to the early career researcher level.
Together with similar initiatives like the INTEGRITY project and the European Network for Academic Integrity (ENAI), Path2Integrity is committed to promote research integrity education already at the secondary school and undergraduate level in an attempt to integrate research integrity education throughout the entire qualification cycle, and to thereby foster trust in science. Enabling already pupils and undergraduate students to recognize what reliable and trustworthy research is and why it is crucially important not only for academia but also for society, is a skill likely to gain ever more momentum in knowledge-based societies and economies where research results and innovations permeate many aspects of life.
Thus, educators need competences and resources that support them in teaching research integrity (as well as related subjects like academic integrity and ethics of research) effectively.
