Abstract
This report aims to analyse the principal ethical issues associated with academics researching their own or colleagues’ teaching, and students’ learning, especially via the use of student contributions of any kind, and to make recommendations which would support colleagues in undertaking such research. That will almost always involve data that derives from human participants, if only the lecturer, and so will need ethical consent from the IOE REC. That must always be given before any data is used for research. If it includes ‘personal’ data, that is, any data that might conceivably risk identification of the individual concerned, then the Research Ethics Committee (REC) will deal with the related GDPR consent. The report target readership is twofold: the IOE REC for its considered response to the arguments and recommendations made; and academic colleagues without a background in educational research of this nature who wish to embark on RHETL, and for whom a single report outlining the key issues to be considered, with links to some related literature, might offer valuable information and confidence. We are particularly conscious of the needs of those colleagues on teaching contracts who would like to engage in doing research. For a newcomer to such work, one early hurdle often encountered is the multiplicity of related terms. Their definitions are often contested, and used in different ways in different academic communities, but for clarity we outline the concepts as we understand them; the reader of the related literature of course should always interrogate that for the implicit or explicit definitions adopted.
