Dr. Neha Deo discusses several key ethical considerations for educational research. Ethics and laws both address proper conduct. Researchers must respect participants, ensuring voluntary and informed consent. They should follow institutional review board procedures and ethical standards from professional associations. Ethics should be considered throughout the entire research process, from design to dissemination of results. When collecting and reporting data, researchers must respect participants and sites, obtain necessary permissions, and report findings honestly without altering results.

in developing applications for approval and designing
consent forms for participants to complete that
guarantee their protection.

5. III
Professional associations
1.Researcher should refer ethical standards given by

Professional associations
4.Participants have right to refuse to participate in
the study & can withdraw anytime.
5.Make sure that Participants’ anonymity is
protected and guaranteed by the researcher.
6.Participants also have the right to gain something
from a study. Researcher should give back or
reciproacte to participants in astudy.

7. IV
Ethical Practices Throughout the
research process.
Ethics has become a more pervasive idea stretching
from the origins of a research to its final completion
and distribution. Ethics should be a primary
consideration rather than a afterthought, and it should
be at the forefront of a researcher’s agenda.

8. V
Ethical Issues in data Collection
1. Respect the site of the research.
2. Show the respect by gaining permission before
entering the site, disturbing the site as little as
possible & viewing oneself as a guest.
3. Don’t take considerable amounts of instructional
time, large amounts of teacher, administrator,or
office time.

4. Plagiarism is strictly not allowed. Credit should be given
for material quoted from other studies.

12. VI

5.Research should be free of jargon& be understandable for
those being studied.
6. Make every effort to communicate the practical
