Proposed Project: Evaluation of the effectiveness of an educational interactive video on research integrity-OMB No. 0990-New-Office of Research Integrity.
Abstract: The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) proposes to conduct a nine-month evaluation study of the effectiveness of an educational interactive video on research integrity.
The study seeks to answer two questions: (a) Objectively, is the Educational Interactive Video for Research Integrity (EIVRI) effective in achieving learning outcomes? (b) Subjectively, do learners and teachers perceive the video simulation as effective in helping them learn and teach research integrity? To answer the first question, a pretest-posttest control group experimental design is used to assess the effectiveness of individual learning of research integrity principles and concepts through the use of the video simulation. The video simulation instruction will be incorporated into an existing syllabus for a research integrity or research ethics course for the treatment group. The control group will use the existing syllabus with no video simulation in class. Participants will be graduate students enrolled in these ethics courses to learn and apply the responsible conduct of research at educational institutions. Participants will fill out a demographics form to discern if they have had prior training experience in research integrity. Those who have prior training experience and those who do not have prior training experience will be randomly assigned to either the treatment group or the control group. The random assignment will be done by picking the last digit of each individual's social security number for the two groups. The video simulation will be approximately four-hour long total. All students will take a pre-test quiz when they fill out the demographics form. Once the treatment is completed, all students will be asked to take a post-test quiz and answer a post-viewing questionnaire to capture their perceptions of the video simulation.
To answer the second question, the study will collect qualitative data from semi-structured interviews as well as focus groups. The semi-structured interviews will be conducted twice with faculty who teach the courses in the first part of the study, in person or on the phone, before and after he/she uses the video simulation. Participants for the focus groups will be selected from the students who participate in the first part of the study. The focus group will last one hour.
