Abstract

This forum piece reports on a brief survey of current quantitative research ethics training materials in Applied Linguistics (AL). This survey was conducted as a step towards an increased understanding of the ways in which we, as a field, train students and researchers to conduct quantitative research ethically. The survey was carried out in the process of creating research ethics training materials as part of a grant‐funded project related to questionable research practices (QRPs). Through manual and computer‐assisted searches in twenty‐four textbooks and twenty‐three course syllabi from the past five years, three themes emerged: (1) research ethics is most often conceptualized in terms of IRB‐related topics, (2) when ‘ethical gray‐zone’ issues are mentioned, the focus is primarily on methodological transparency, data sharing/open science, and selecting the appropriate research design and statistical tests, and (3) materials tend to address the topic of research ethics in a single section or chapter, or in a single day or week of a course. Against this background, we provide three recommendations that our field can implement to provide more robust and thorough research ethics training for students and researchers in TESOL and Applied Linguistics: (1) expand our conceptualization of research ethics to include ethical gray‐zone issues, (2) be thorough and explicit in our discussion of ethical issues related to research decisions, and (3) incorporate research ethics as a recurring theme throughout textbooks and courses.

研究人员培训研究人员:定量应用语言学伦理培训
本论坛文章报告了对当前应用语言学(AL)定量研究伦理培训材料的简要调查。进行这项调查的目的是为了进一步了解我们作为一个领域,是如何培训学生和研究人员以合乎伦理的方式开展定量研究的。这项调查是在编写研究伦理培训材料的过程中进行的,是与有问题的研究实践 (QRP) 相关的赠款资助项目的一部分。通过人工和计算机辅助搜索过去五年中的二十四本教科书和二十三个课程大纲,我们发现了三个主题:(1) 研究伦理最常见的概念是与 IRB 相关的主题;(2) 当提到 "伦理灰色地带 "问题时,重点主要放在方法论透明度、数据共享/开放科学以及选择合适的研究设计和统计检验上;(3) 教材往往在单节或单章中,或在课程的单日或单周中讨论研究伦理主题。在此背景下,我们提出了三项建议,供本领域实施,以便为 TESOL 和应用语言学专业的学生和研究人员提供更有力、更全面的研究伦理培训:(1) 扩展我们的研究伦理概念,将伦理灰色地带问题纳入其中;(2) 全面、明确地讨论与研究决策相关的伦理问题;(3) 将研究伦理作为一个经常性主题纳入教科书和课程。

期刊介绍: TESOL Quarterly, a professional, refereed journal, was first published in 1967. The Quarterly encourages submission of previously unpublished articles on topics of significance to individuals concerned with English language teaching and learning and standard English as a second dialect. As a publication that represents a variety of cross-disciplinary interests, both theoretical and practical, the Quarterly invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, especially in the following areas: -psychology and sociology of language learning and teaching -issues in research and research methodology -testing and evaluation -professional preparation -curriculum design and development -instructional methods, materials, and techniques -language planning -professional standards Because the Quarterly is committed to publishing manuscripts that contribute to bridging theory and practice in our profession, it particularly welcomes submissions that address the implications and applications of research in, for example, -anthropology -applied and theoretical linguistics -communication education -English education, including reading and writing theory -psycholinguistics -psychology -first and second language acquisition -sociolinguistics The Quarterly prefers that all submissions be written in a style that is accessible to a broad readership, including those individuals who may not be familiar with the subject matter. TESOL Quarterly is an international journal. It welcomes submissions from English language contexts around the world.
