Engaging with research methods requires, we argue, not only adherence to ethical codes of conduct, but caring for the researched. Researchers, who are also workers in the same organisation or community where the research will take place, have an additional duty not to violate the dignity of the researched, and that is the ethic of care. We discuss…

In the first it is shown how a storyteller can operate deliberately to attack and vitiate the received tradition about their chosen subject. In the second it is shown how an established…

Scholars of higher education have noted an increased attention to ethics within professional disciplines such as business and journalism. This paper explores the hypothesis that the field of education has not followed that pattern. To test this hypothesis, we review our findings from a study of curricula for professional majors in 156 Christian…

Recent research has exposed the potential of quality teaching to exercise a positive influence on student achievement. Extending beyond surface and factual learning, quality teaching has posited conceptions of "intellectual depth", "communicative competence" and "self-reflection" as being central to effective…

One of the main reasons of the fact that Chinese moral education could hardly get out of its predicament is that "self-regard" has been simply and unilaterally interpreted as the absolute opposite to morality, where "self-regard" is merely regarded as the source of "everything evil", and the fact that it is also the…

Research on the issues of higher education has been going on for a long time. However, higher education pedagogy as independent discipline has been present in China for only about ten years.
