Lisa Rosen, Editor of STP e-books, is happy to announce the publication of a new volume, Beyond the code: Integrating ethics into the undergraduate psychology curriculum. This volume was developed by Vishal Thakkar (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center), Elizabeth Pantesco (Villanova University), Rachel Besing (Brescia University), and Karen Naufel (Georgia Southern University).
The aim of this book is to provide tips and considerations for engaging students in ethical decision making in a wide range of contexts. Of particular importance is addressing the lack of in-class assessments and activities promoting ethical decision making beyond the (APA ethics) code. The authors provide numerous activities to advance students' understanding of ethical principles, which are applicable to multiple modes of instruction (e.g., online, in-person, and hybrid courses) and education levels (e.g., undergraduate, graduate, and high school). Broadly, the text is broken down into two parts: Part 1 emphasizes the importance of engaging students in ethical decision making in a broader context and provides several areas of consideration where ethics play a large role beyond the standard research methodology course. Part 2 shifts focus from theory to practice and provides 17 different lesson plans with learning objectives, teaching resources, and suggestions on courses where each could be implemented successfully.
This book, like all STP e-books, is free and easily downloadable. The complete library of e-books, including information about proposing and publishing an e-book with STP, may be accessed onlineopens in new window.
