Research Ethics for Teachers & Students
Research has been a part of every student’s academic life. With the K-12 program, students as early as Grade 8 are already required to undergo research in certain subjects. Every after webinar we have at TLRC, Research was among the requested topics by participants for our future webinars.
Research Ethics is a set of rules in conducting scientific investigations. Research is expected to follow ethical participation to protect the research subjects’ dignity, rights, and welfare, especially if it involves human participation. Research Ethics includes principles of beneficence, justice, and autonomy throughout the conduct of the investigation.
This webinar is very much welcomed by participants. The zoom meeting is at maximum capacity from start to end, and the YouTube live streaming has peaked at more than 900 viewers. Although the webinar faced technical difficulty because of internet disruption, the webinar is very successful and received many commendations and requests for reruns.
