Teaching Business Ethics: The use of films and videota

Audio-visual material is extremely useful in the teaching of Business Ethics, yet no bibliography of the commercially available films and videotapes seems to be available. We have prepared a formal listing, complete with titles, descriptions, sources, prices and a brief evaluation, and have explained our selection and use of this material.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/42528/1/10551_2004_Article_BF00383427.pd

Steps toward preregistration of research on research integrity

Abstract Background A proposal to encourage the preregistration of research on research integrity was developed and adopted as the Amsterdam Agenda at the 5th World Conference on Research Integrity (Amsterdam, 2017). This paper reports on the degree to which abstracts of the 6th World Conference in Research Integrity (Hong Kong, 2019) reported on preregistered research. Methods Conference registration data on participants presenting a paper or a poster at 6th WCRI were made available to the research team. Because the data set was too small for inferential statistics this report is limited to a basic description of results and some recommendations that should be considered when taking further steps to improve preregistration. Results 19% of the 308 presenters preregistered their research. Of the 56 usable cases, less than half provided information on the six key elements of the Amsterdam Agenda. Others provided information that invalidated their data, such as an uninformative URL. There was no discernable difference between qualitative and quantitative research. Conclusions Some presenters at the WCRI have preregistered their research on research integrity, but further steps are needed to increase frequency and completeness of preregistration. One approach to increase preregistration would be to make it a requirement for research presented at the World Conferences on Research Integrity.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/174042/1/41073_2021_Article_108.pd

P.A.C.E.S. - A Study on Academic Integrity Among Engineering Undergraduates (Preliminary Conclusions)

Student academic dishonesty, commonly referred to as cheating, has become a serious problem at institutions of higher education. This is particularly true of engineering students who, according to previous research, are among the most likely to cheat in college. To investigate this concern, the authors have undertaken a research project on the Perceptions and Attitudes toward Cheating among Engineering Students (P.A.C.E.S.). The premise of this research is that a combination of pressures, rather than malicious motivations, account for most student cheating. The P.A.C.E.S study consists of a seven page, self-reported survey that investigates: (1) student definitions of academic dishonesty; (2) the magnitude of academic dishonesty among engineering undergraduates; (3) the correlations of academic dishonesty with theories of psychological, demographic and situational factors; and (4) student opinions on different approaches used to discourage academic dishonesty. The survey was administered to approximately 350 engineering and pre engineering undergraduates at 5 institutions, ranging from community colleges to a large research university. This paper will discuss some of the current results from the study as well as future goals, which include the refinement and further distribution of the survey instrument and the development of practical pedagogical methods to help students avoid the pressure of cheating and a better understanding of what students and faculty perceive as cheating

La responsabilidad de la universidad respecto a las conductas éticas inapropiadas en los procesos de investigación

As university research administrators weigh the challenges they will face in the future, misconduct in research undoubtedly looms large. At many universities, misconduct in research has garnered increasing amounts of time and expense. This paper suggests that these trends are unlikely to change in the near future, placing greater and greater pressure on university research administrators to deal responsibly and effectively with misconduct in research. This suggestion is based on the answers to four questions, followed by a listing of four responsibilities that all research universities should consider adopting.Quando os administradores de pesquisa universitária refletir em sobre os desafios que enfrentarão no futuro, o tema das condutas éticas inapropriadas nos processos de pesquisas em dúvida ocupará um lugar preponderante. Em muitas universidades, as condutas éticas inapropriadas na pesquisa implicam uma quantidade, cada vez maior, de tempo e custos. Este documento sugere que exista pouca probabilidade de mudanças nestas tendências para o futuro mais próximo, o qual imporá uma pressão crescente sobre os administradores da pesquisa universitária para que enfrentem, de maneira responsável e efetiva, as condutas éticas inapropriadas na pesquisa. Esta sugestão se baseia nas respostas a quatro perguntas, seguidas de uma lista das quatro responsabilidades que toda universidade deveria pensar em assumir.Cuando los administradores de la investigación universitaria reflexionan sobre los retos que enfrentarán en el futuro, el tema de las conductas éticas inapropiadas en los procesos de investigación sin duda ocupa un lugar preponderante.
