How to Teach and Learn About Reliable Research to Foster a Good Future for our Society

This workshop is for all of those who are interested in research, the notion of teachers as researcher and ethics.

According to the statement by the ALLEA Permanent Working Group on Science and Ethics (2013), and “in view of recent events and debates, education in research ethics needs to be strengthened to ensure trust and confidence in scientific research.” Furthermore, “ALLEA argues in this statement that societies need to set aside or create resources (time, human resources, knowledge banks etc.), so as to ensure that all research is conducted by individuals who have the necessary literacy in ethics.”

In light of this, Path2integrity has been designing learning cards to argue in favour of reliable research results and responsible research. These cards cater to secondary school students, students as well as (future) researchers. These units are student-centred and use a dialogical approach, with role-playing and storytelling to foster trust in research. The learning cards empower its users all over Europe to understand how important such reliable research is, especially how important reliable research for society is – especially in times of COVID-19.
