Ethical Principles
It is anticipated that the initial discussion response should be in the range of 250-300 words. Response posts must demonstrate topic knowledge and scholarly engagement with peers. This is not the only criteria utilized for evaluation; substantive content is imperative. All questions in the topic must be addressed. Please proofread your response carefully for grammar and spelling. Do not upload any attachments. All responses need to be supported by a minimum of one scholarly resource. Journals and websites must be cited appropriately. Citation and reference must adhere to APA format.
Adhering to ethical principles and protection of human subjects are important considerations in all forms of research. After exploring your course resources, answer the following questions:
- How stringent or similar should ethical principles be to the standards placed on the conduction of clinical and/or educational research?
- Offer examples where controversy exists regarding application of ethical principles in evidence-based practice projects, best practices in education versus clinical research.
- Be sure to address HIPAA and FERPA depending on your focus - clinical practice vs academic education.
Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis, and include peer reviewed journal evidence to support the student’s position.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
Please review the rubric to ensure that your response meets the criteria.

Answer
Research Ethics
Research ethics govern the standards of conduct for all scientific researchers hence it is important to strictly adhere to the ethical principles to protect dignity, rights, and welfare of research participants. It is important to note that the same principles and guidelines that are employed to conduct clinical should be applied in educational research (Navalta et al., 2019). However, I feel that the law and rules should be stringiest when human subjects are involved. In this case, there is a risk/benefit ration that calls for the consent of the participants. The risk should be very low; however, even if there is no benefit, the study should not cause any harm as indicated in principles of ethics.
During the study about the Guatemala sexually transmitted disease it is important to note that participants were not aware of the ongoing study. Their consents were not sought as per the requirement of research ethics which states that the participants should be educated about the research and its purpose. At the end of the study, doctors infected prostitutes, soldiers, prisoners, and mental patients with syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases, the experiment resulted in at least 83 deaths. According to Fisher et al. (2018), the participants should also be informed of the likelihood risks or advantages of being part of the study, something that did not happen in this case.
HIPAA protects the right of the participants and their personal record hence is applied in clinical practice during the research conducting process. It advocates that participant’s right should not be violated. On the other hand, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) govern the access to educational records and information by the public entities like potential employers, publicly funded educational institutions, and foreign governments of learners. It has little about conducting especially on human subjects.
