Ethics Education Across Contexts and the Life Span

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

All Educational Research Associations are committed to upholding high academic and professional standards. They expect from their members to promote and adhere ethical principles which their professional community has agreed on. Ethical principles for science and research are expected to be universally valid. In the case of European Educational Research Associations however, this seems not to be the case: each national association has formulated its own guidelines and principles. In my contribution I will present examples of commonalities and differences between the guidelines. The aim is to identify and discuss 'cultural' differences between the views on ethical behaviour in science and research.
