Abstract

Scholarship has highlighted the difficulty of teaching research ethics within the university context, identifying two key barriers: the conceptualisation of research ethics, and the language found on the ethics application. Yet the student perspective remains under-researched. The IOE MA Education requires all students to submit an ethics application as part of their dissertation project. However, students appear to struggle to understand or engage fully with the ethics process. With the aim of developing the provision of research ethics teaching on the programme, our pilot study aimed to explore students’ perspectives, from what they understood about research ethics at the start of the programme, and how that developed through engagement with the teaching and resources currently available. Preliminary findings suggest that students began with a vague conceptualisation of research ethics, but this became more focused during the course. This allows us to develop a more comprehensive study with the 24/25 cohort.
