Ethical Conduct in Science - the Joys of Teaching and the Joys of Learning
Abstract
Stories to tell about teaching experiences: if they could be taken together - the successes and failures, surprises, and disappointments - they would go a long way toward explaining why we are teachers and why we continue to derive satisfaction from our profession. I have a story to tell about events last semester in my second-semester general chemistry course, Chemistry 104. To begin, let me introduce the cast of characters. Leslie Frye and Meredith Sessions were students in my class whose contributions to this paper will become apparent; Jeremiah Miller was their TA.

A Directed Framework for Integrating Ethics into Chemistry Curricula and Programs Using Real and Fictional Case Studies
Ellen R. Fisher and Nancy E. LevingerJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (6), 796A Directed Framework for Integrating Ethics into Chemistry Curricula and Programs Using Real and Fictional Case Studies
Ellen R. Fisher and Nancy E. LevingerJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (6), 796This paper presents an approach to using real and fictional case studies with a range of ethical dilemmas. The pedagogical method we describe is effective in a variety of venues from high school to undergraduate summer research programs to workshops with ...

Trying a Case on Ethics in Scientific Research: A Role-Playing Exercise for Students and Faculty in a Summer Undergraduate Research Program
Patrick E. HoggardJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (6), 802Trying a Case on Ethics in Scientific Research: A Role-Playing Exercise for Students and Faculty in a Summer Undergraduate Research Program
Patrick E. HoggardJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (6), 802While most prepared exercises for ethics in science programs—including an excellent AAAS video series—present a complete account of the relevant facts, a role-playing exercise is described here in which the participants are provided with differing reports ...

Patricia Ann MabroukJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (6), 952Introducing Summer High School Student–Researchers to Ethics in Scientific Research
Patricia Ann MabroukJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (6), 952A series of case studies illustrating important ethical concerns in the practice of scientific research have been developed for and tested by high school students participating in summer science apprenticeship programs. The case studies discuss ...

High School Students' Perceptions of Their Laboratory Classroom and the Copying of Laboratory Work
Dana Mazzaro and Shanese Page , Dawn Del CarloJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (9), 1362High School Students' Perceptions of Their Laboratory Classroom and the Copying of Laboratory Work
Dana Mazzaro and Shanese Page , Dawn Del CarloJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (9), 1362Many courses have been proposed in an effort to train future scientists to be ethical practitioners, yet little has been done to examine the ethical beliefs and practices that already exist in the laboratory classroom. This current research involves high ...

Who Is Responsible for a Fraud: An Exercise Examining Research Misconduct and the Obligations of Authorship through Case Studies
Brian K. NieceJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (10), 1521Who Is Responsible for a Fraud: An Exercise Examining Research Misconduct and the Obligations of Authorship through Case Studies
Brian K. NieceJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (10), 1521This exercise uses two recent incidents of research misconduct to introduce students to the issue of ethics in scientific publication. The incidents involve alleged data falsification by individual researchers and the accompanying debate over ...
