Ethical Concerns in Research Conduct
Keywords:
Ethics, Education, Code of ethics, Educational ResearchAbstract
The guiding principles of ethics help to protect the things we cherish (Johnson & Christenson, 2012). It is based on well-established moral principles that outline what is appropriate behavior for people to engage in, typically in terms of rights, duties, benefits to society, fairness, or certain qualities (Velasquez, Andre, Shanks, and Meyer, 1987). According to Webster's dictionary, the term "ethics" is derived from the French word "ethique" and was originally used in the 14th century to refer to a discipline that deals with moral obligations and the knowledge of good and bad. Ethics, which is also known as moral philosophy, considers the set of moral standards or principles that can be used to determine whether human behaviours are right or bad in each situation (Singer, 2021).
