Abstract
While the usefulness of the case study method in teaching research ethics is frequently emphasized, less often noted is the educational value of professional codes of ethics. Much can be gained by having students examine codes and reflect on their significance. This paper argues that codes such as the American Chemical Society‘s The Chemist‘s Code of Conduct are an important supplement to the use of cases and describes one way in which they can be integrated profitably into a class discussion of research ethics.

Student-Centered Use of Case Studies Incorporating Oral and Writing Skills To Explore Scientific Ethical Misconduct
Ingrid Montes , Adriana Padilla , Atenaida Maldonado and Solymar NegrettiJournal of Chemical Education2009 86 (8), 936Student-Centered Use of Case Studies Incorporating Oral and Writing Skills To Explore Scientific Ethical Misconduct
Ingrid Montes , Adriana Padilla , Atenaida Maldonado and Solymar NegrettiJournal of Chemical Education2009 86 (8), 936For many years, ethical misconduct has been long endured and difficult to address in the scientific community. To educate students about ethical misconduct in science, case studies were used in an ethics discussion board for a class group project. The ...

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 ...
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), 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 ...
