Teaching IS Ethics: Applying a Research Technique for Classroom Use
Niederman, Fred; Taylor, Sallie; Dick, Geoffrey N.; Land, Lesley Pek Wee
Journal of Information Systems Education, v22 n3 p239-251 Fall 2011
The nature of IS technologies and the range of their appropriate and inappropriate uses continue to evolve and expand. MIS educational programs have a challenge to provide both the appropriate content to introduce students to classic information ethics problems, as well as the methods for analyzing possible actions within a complex realistic situation. This research paper describes the application to educational activities of a research technique pioneered by Donn Parker using scenarios and Likert scale values choices pertaining to IS ethical issues. The recommended method for application in the education setting is described. Key findings in terms of ethical themes that permeated surveys and discussions by students are also presented and discussed. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
