Good scientific practice needs to be lived

Teaching and learning materials

The Austrian Agency for Scientific Integrity believes active engagement and reflection is the best way to raise awareness of the standards of good research practice, as well as to prevent questionable and unacceptable research practices or misconduct.

 

The OeAWI therefore provides its member organizations with didactically proven teaching and learning materials to promote good research practice within their own institutions. The OeAWI eLearning environment offers eLearning courses with a specific focus on good research practice; while those responsible for research integrity within their institution have access to the OeAWI Train-the-Trainer materials collection.

eLearning

The OeAWI’s eLearning environment offers eLearning courses on various subjects related to research integrity. 

 

As a project partner in the VIRT2UE project, which aims to develop a pan-European train-the-trainer program for teaching science ethics and integrity, OeAWI was also involved in the development of eLearning courses.
The eLearning courses from the VIRT2UE project are divided into 3 series, and can be accessed in the eLearning area of the OeAWI as well as on the Embassy of Good Science:

Training

Train-the-Trainer

The OeAWI sees itself as a driving force in realising the standards of Good Research Practice. The implementation and internalization of these standards are in turn the responsibility of research institutions and researchers. At the request of its member organizations, a “train-the-trainer” course was developed to teach didactic methods for promoting good research practice.

 

Given that the majority of people professionally involved with research integrity have acquired their knowledge through self-study or learning-by-doing in specific situations, this short training course aims to contribute to increasing their professional and methodological competence.

 

The train-the-trainer programs rely on a multiplier effect. Future trainers receive interactive training in the fundamentals of research integrity and the avoidance of scientific misconduct and questionable, unacceptable practices and go on to share this knowledge within their institution. For this reason, particular emphasis is placed on teaching didactic methods for promoting good research practice.

 

All formats are offered in German or English.

Didaktics

Didactic Approach

Raising awareness for research integrity and fostering a sense of individual responsibility are top priorities of the OeAWI training programs. In this spirit, the didactic concepts have been developed to fit the working reality of research and at the same time, to build on the knowledge and skills of the participants. OeAWI’s programs rely on evidence-based, didactic methods and aim to stimulate active and reflective engagement with Good Scientific Practice (GSP).
