Ethics in research is extremely critical to protectin.docxhumphrieskalyn
Ethics in research is extremely critical to protecting subjects, especially humans from exploitation and harm. Research can sometimes encroach people’s autonomy, lives, and integrity Sanjari, Bahramnezhad, Fomani, Shoghi, & Cheraghi, 2014). Therefore, to mitigate or prevent such effects, the community responsible for providing the standards for conducting research has created various channels, including regulations, ethical code of conduct, formalized ethics requirements within scientific journals, and institutionalized ethics review boards. In this section, the investigator analyses the chapter 5 case study to explore ethical issues faced by action researchers in their study while defining why the results of the study created an ethical dilemma for the action research team. The author also expounds on another way the dilemma could have been solved. The researcher’s belief about the research is analyzed while discussing the roles and responsibilities of a researcher. Further, the investigator analyzes issues of accuracy, informed consent, social principles, and deception in an individual’s ethical belief. Finally, the author expounds on the components of Finders’s (1992 conceptual framework for guiding ethical conduct in a qualitative research mirror the investigator's belief system).
In chapter 5 case study, describe the ethical issue the action researchers faced in their study. Define why the study's results created an ethical dilemma for the action research team and describe another way they could have resolved it.
One of the ethical issues, in this case, is that the research involved minors. In this case, the institutional review board could not rely on the conventional concept of informed concept since such children lack the legal and intellectual capacity to make informed choices in their own right (Behrman, & Field, 2004). Therefore, it could have been prudent to involve parents of such children directly. Teachers could not provide a better answer especially with regards to using computers at home (Mills, 2000). Therefore, to address this problem, it could have been important to allow parents to stand on behalf of their children because of their legal and intellectual capacity to make informed choices.
In your own words describe your own beliefs about research. What are a researcher's roles and responsibilities? How are issues of informed consent, accuracy, deception, and social principles reflected in your ethical beliefs?
I believe that research is a systematic inquiry intended to not only describe and explain but also control the phenomenon under observation. It entails both deductive and inductive methods. An inductive method is intended to analyze the phenomenon observed while identifying the general structure, principles, or processes underlying the observed phenomenon. The rationale for the deductive method is to verify the principles hypothesized through observations. As a systematic inquiry, the research explores hypotheses.
How do you begin to present your research findings outside of the academic community? This presentation is for researchers who face a blank sheet of paper whenever they try to rewrite their research findings to audiences outside of their academic community. The 7 rules for writing in plain English are:
1. Keep your sentences short
2. Prefer active verbs
3. Use 'you' and 'we'
4. Avoid jargon: use words that are appropriate for the reader
5. Don't be afraid to give instructions
6. Avoid nominalisations
7. Use lists where appropriate

CONTEXT
Is conformity good or bad? Are people willing to hurt one another just because an authority told them to? Some of the most fascinating research results about human behavior were intending to answer these very questions. The results on the topics of social conformity and obedience to authority revealed some disturbing revelations about human behavior and about potential harm to participants in research. The studies and their results had tremendous implications for the field on how we conduct research—and on how we understand the influence of social pressure and leadership. Because of the significant implications in both research and application, these studies have been some of the most controversial and hotly debated topics in psychology.
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.
•
Is deception always necessary when conducting research in social psychology with human participants?
Do the insights gained from research justify deceiving people?

Share Scientific Data to Improve Research Visibility and ImpactNader Ale Ebrahim
Previous studies have found that papers with publicly available datasets receive a higher number of citations than similar studies without available data. In addition, new research has found that by putting your research data online, you’ll become up to 30% more highly cited than if you kept your data hidden. In this workshop I will elaborate the advantages of sharing research data and introduce some relevant “Research Tools” for increasing datasets visibility.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
