Task 5C - What have I learned about ethics?
Reader 5 I have found to be a more interesting read than some previous readers. I have particularly found the case studies interesting and thought provoking.
This has allowed me to gain a better understanding of ethics and how they apply to my work as well as my inquiry.
Ethics sets out moral principles which help a person distinguish between right and wrong. As my work involves children, ethics have even more worth, as they are there to protect the children and allow them to be treated equally.
There are three main contexts where ethics are considered in reader 5-
Personal
Professional
Organisational
These all contribute to the promotion of social good in the larger society.
Code of conduct, which is covered in task 5B is involved in professional ethics
One thing I have taken away from reader 5 is that ethics is not only objective and can be subjective. By sticking to ethical arguments that are based on objectiveness it will be easier to get a clear outcome. When creating my inquiry I aim to ensure that I do not include anything that could be considered unethical by some people. If I am unclear on how something could be perceived I will try my best to solve this or to avoid using it. I will take into account the ethical considerations of different religions or family background.
Carrying out research that involves children could cause many road blocks ethically. In order to avoid these potential problems I intend to use teachers themselves, parents of children who dance and dancers over the age of 18. I will be sure to explain to all participants what research I am doing and what it will be used for.
