Rotatory role-playing and role-models to enhance the research integrity culture

Project description

Teaching research integrity in the EU

Improving research integrity and doing this holistically as new techniques emerge are among the many new tasks that today’s researchers are facing. The EU-funded Path2Integrity project will build and introduce necessary, ethical patterns in this field. It will develop role models and rotary role-playing exercises for adolescents. The aim will be to increase their sensitivity to accept or reject different norms in research. A campaign based on scientific facts will be conducted, and backed by an instructions’ handbook. It will be a great help in the development of practical based education. The project’s consortium will transfer knowledge through 150 disseminators. A campaign will be held at schools and universities in 15 EU countries.

Objective

The Path2Integrity project is a two-component coordination and support action to enhance research integrity culture. Path2Integrity develops and fosters role-models and rotatory role-plays for adolescents. A Path2Integrity campaign on scientific facts about research integrity and role-models, raises awareness on research integrity within secondary schools and universities. Complementary a Path2Integrity handbook of instructions, which contains vivid stories on research integrity and rotatory role-playing as primary dialogical exercise increases students’ ability to reason on the acceptance or rejection of norms in research integrity. Partners from the Consortium have award-winning experience in creating those settings, which allows Path2Integrity to work with already in existence and successful educational practices. Taking into account that different disciplines and different schools of thoughts are involved, the Consortium takes paramount importance, to ensure explicitly that the Path2Integrity handbook and campaign are based on optimal and systematic evidence-based decisions. Therefore, the key concept of the Consortium is the development of practical educational knowledge. The Consortium will train at least 150 disseminators in the consortiums countries and beyond, and additionally foster the campaign (fact sheets, infographics, flyers, posters, brochures) in at least 15 European countries to enable awareness-raising in different educational organizations (schools and universities).
