Kuvaus

This course is situated in the national Findocnet Moodle environment. Participants can do it remotely and at their own pace. It starts by introducing a theoretical framework that can be used as a tool in ethical deliberation. This framework guides participants to evaluate decision options in an ethically challenging situation from the perspectives of consequences, rules and virtues. The national Responsible Conduct of Research code (TENK) is introduced as well as official violations and procedures relating to it. The course explores ethical questions related to all phases of research: to planning and conducting of research and to sharing of its results. Also, the local guidelines of the University of Jyväskylä are introduced. The overwhelming majority of themes fit all scientific disciplines.
