Abstract

This study explores education students’ reported knowledge of ethical reasoning. Four years of data were collected from a measure of learning outcomes from students (n=3,392) enrolled in an education ethics course offered at a mid-sized, comprehensive university. While a majority of participants scored proficient in four key learning outcomes, between groups there was a decline in the number of students who scored proficient. Implications are offered for the use of accreditation data as an intentional practice to promote equity and positive outcomes for all students.
