Unit 8: Ethical Issues in Research with Students

2. Research Ethics Principles for Educational Settings

Ethical research with students is guided by well-established principles, including:
·       Respect for Persons: Recognizing student autonomy and ensuring voluntary participation.
·       Beneficence: Minimizing potential harm while maximizing benefits.
·       Justice: Ensuring fair treatment and equitable participation opportunities.
·       Transparency: Being open about the purpose, process, and outcomes of the research.
In Algeria and globally, university ethics committees review research proposals to ensure that these principles are upheld.
