Huomaa! Kurssikuvaus vahvistetaan kahdeksi lukuvuodeksi kerrallaan ja esimerkiksi osaamistavoitteet, arviontimenetelmät ja keskeinen sisältö pysyvät pääsääntöisesti samana. Kullakin toteutuskerralla voidaan kuitenkin kurssiesitteen avulla tarkentaa ja muuttaa kurssin toteutustapaa, kuten kontaktiopetuksen järjestämistapaa, arviointimenetelmien painotusta tai materiaaleja.

SISÄLTÖ, ARVIOINTI JA KUORMITTAVUUS

Sisältö
  • Voimassa 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    This course introduces you to the purpose and value basis of research ethics – why it is important for every research career and for every researcher throughout the entire research process.

    This course is built around the concept of 'ethics by design'.

    This translates to motivation and action to proactively engage with ethical issues in research work and design research in order to minimise issues and challenges.

    The ethics by design approach is further built on transparency and openness as the key values.
