Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Meta-regression of knowledge outcomes found significant positive effects for individual learning, experiential learning, and application of ethical guidelines, and significant negative effects for mandatory courses, theoretical emphasis, and not teaching ethical guidelines. → Johannes Katsarov 2021
Evidence¶
Johannes Katsarov 2021¶
Johannes Katsarov, Roberto Andorno, André Krom, Mariëtte van den Hoven. (2021). Effective Strategies for Research Integrity Training—a Meta-analysis. Educational Psychology Review (2022) 34:935–955. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-021-09630-9
q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Meta-regression of knowledge-related learning from the included RCR studies; the model explained all between-groups variance (F = 10.76, p = 0.000). Table 4 reports coefficients of 0.55* for pure individual instruction, 0.26** for applied guidelines, -0.53* for theoretical emphasis, and -0.31** for mandatory courses; these are regression coefficients, not standardized effect sizes.
"Significant positive effects were found for courses that emphasized individual learning, experiential learning (practice orientation), and an application of ethical guidelines. Significant negative effects were found for courses that were mandatory, avoided concrete cases (theoretical), or did not teach ethical guidelines."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- A practical, experiential course emphasis is the best predictor of effective research integrity training across learning outcomes — related
- Not teaching ethical guidelines predicted better combined learning outcomes, while guideline coverage supported only knowledge — reports the opposite
- Repeated practice and blended learning showed no advantage in RCR course effectiveness, failing to replicate prior review findings — related
- High-school students and researchers tended to learn more from RCR training than higher-education students and non-research professionals — related
- RCR courses produce a pooled mean effect of g = 0.52, with knowledge (0.64) and behavior (0.69) outcomes showing larger average effects than judgment (0.41) — related
