This book poses questions on how to work ethically in participatory research on science education. It does so in the light of more sophisticated data collection tools and methods for analysis, changed conditions for conducting ethical research, and the need for researchers to review their accountability towards their participants. It pays particular attention to the rise in visual data that is being collected to produce research that goes beyond the study of talk. It asks the question of whether the existing guidelines provided for researchers are keeping up with modern realities of the visual presence of individuals in digital spaces. Finally, the book examines research ethics in a research environment where there is increased interest in the use of video data for long term storage to conduct research beyond the life-time of the original project and how to safely share data now and in the future.Science education research involves the study of people - often young and vulnerable people - and their practices. Researchers working within humanities and social science research follow guidelines and frameworks that are often set by country-specific ethics committees and shaped by research codes of conducts. These guidelines safeguard those who are studied while making the researcher reflect on not only who can be researched and in what ways but also what is good, fair and right to be researched. In particular, these guidelines apply when conducting research to obtain data through intervention or interaction with the individual or identifiable private information. This book revisits and re-examines these guidelines.weiterlesen
