Training undergraduates to be ethical researchers It is a given that integrity underpins all university research. These days, universities have embedded ethics policies to which all members of a university (students as well as staff) must subscribe. It is also a matter of routine that all students submitting work for assessment must now do so by stating (or ticking a box to say) that all sources used have been properly acknowledged. Given the comprehensive coverage of the subject via such university-wide mechanisms, it might well seem that there is little for the university lecturer to do when it comes to training undergraduates to be ethical researchers. But the commonplace practice of embedding ethics policies across teaching and learning practice may, paradoxically, mean that these have become the unexamined background to undergraduate life. Taken in the round, it might then be argued that a lecturer's job is to defamiliarise the routine aspects of intellectual life, in order to produce critical and analytical thinkers who can then carry such values into the professional environment and into civic life in general. In other words, is it really enough to ask a student to sign a plagiarism form, or to tick a box, without getting that student to consider the reasoning behind it? Read full article.
