Day-long Workshop on Research Ethics Instruction at Annual Meeting
3rd Annual Workshop on Research Ethics Instruction
Research Ethics Instruction: Effective Education and Evaluation for the 21st Century
Goals and Audience
The goal of the Responsible Conduct of Research Education Committee (RCREC), and this workshop in particular, is to promote education in the ethical dimensions of research. This educational need is, in itself, an ethical obligation for the research community, but it is now increasingly required by research institutions, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation. The primary audience for this workshop includes anyone currently teaching or planning to teach a course in research ethics or RCR. Participants will be introduced to the tools and resources necessary for developing new programs for teaching RCR. This workshop is structured to provide a clear understanding of the elements necessary for developing, implementing, and improving programs for RCR education.
Learning Objectives
On successful completion of the workshop participants will be able to:
- List and describe a wide range of possible goals for research ethics instruction
- List and describe topics that might be included in programs for research ethics instruction
- Develop an instruction module around the topics of authorship, human embryonic stem cell research, dual use technology, and social responsibilities of researchers
- Develop a research ethics course plan and syllabus
- Locate resources for starting or enhancing research ethics courses
Content
The program will include an overview of the goals, content, and tools for education in scientific integrity. In addition, the use of tools to promote discussion and active learning will be demonstrated in the context of four areas of increasing importance to research ethics education: social responsibility, stem cells, dual use technology, and authorship. The workshop will include a working lunch with an opportunity for networking with other participants and consultation with the instructors.
Instructors and Agenda
Drs. Michael Kalichman and Francis Macrina, co-chairs of APPE's RCR Education Committee. Drs. Macrina and Kalichman each have over 17 years experience in teaching, consulting, and speaking about education in research ethics.
Agenda
The program is scheduled from 9 – 5, Thursday, March 5, 2009. A box lunch will be included for a working lunch.
