St. 克莱尔 and Poole Co-published in Teaching Ethics

Dr. 诺曼·圣. 克莱尔, professor and director of the Dreeben School of Education (DSE) Graduate Studies Program, 博士和. 黛博拉普尔, alumna of the DSE Graduate Studies Program, co-published “Exploring and Developing a Comprehensive Teaching Model for Graduate Ethics,” in 教学伦理, a publication of the Society for Ethics Across the Curriculum. The journal is dedicated to ethical issues across the curriculum with particular attention to pedagogical methodology and practice in both academic inquiry and professional practice.

“Based on our research of existing approaches to teaching ethics in graduate education, a comprehensive model was needed to bridge theory to practice,圣说。. 克莱尔. “My hope is that our research and new teaching model offers insight and contribution to the great body of knowledge on existing models for teaching ethics at the graduate level across disciplines.”

Using an instrumental case study, the purpose was to explore and develop a conceptual framework for a comprehensive teaching model targeting graduate-level educators, 管理员, and educational boards across disciplines using a design-based research process. The article shares research addressing an increase of unethical practices in professional settings identified in the literature.

“Our research demonstrated a shift in U.S. 文化 from principle-based ethics to one seemingly supporting moral relativism,” explained Poole. “Many models in the literature did not prepare students to adjudicate ethical decisions in their professional world that fell outside clearly established rules, and often supported a myopic view of only their field.

“Using principles of design-based research, the model provides a comprehensive multidisciplinary foundation based on moral universalism to enable professionals to apply and defend ethical principles in their organizational field, among other professions, as well as other 文化s. I believe this fills a gap that was needed in graduate education in all disciplines.”
