Ethical Issues and IRB Policies for SoTL and Action Research (McKinney - PowerPoint)
Do I need to submit an IRB protocal for my SoTL project? Is it coercion to ask my students to provide data for my teachinglearning action research project? Have I harmed my students when only some receive a new pedagogy that improves learning? Why can't I just present data I've gathered from my students without IRB approval? These are just a few of the ethical issues that can arise when conducting SoTL and classroom action research. The members of this panel will use presentations, examples, and an interactive discussion to address these and other questions about the ethical issues and IRB policies relevant to this kind of research.
