Abstract

This article discusses the development of a training program for faculty asked to participate in the research misconduct review process. The aim of the training was to improve the handling of research misconduct allegations. A needs assessment was conducted to determine what Research Integrity Officers (RIOs) and other officials handling research misconduct proceedings perceived to be needed training content for faculty participating in the review of research misconduct allegations. Based upon the results from the needs assessment, a training was created. Then, the study team sought to evaluate the perceived impact of this training through both the lens of faculty and Research Integrity Officers. The learning and self-efficacy outcomes of the training were also evaluated through a pre- and post-assessment. Key findings relate to the differences in opinion regarding the efficacy of the training and suggested alternative uses of the training. The training, Handling Allegations of Research Misconduct, is currently available online.

教师培训的结果，旨在改善如何处理研究不当行为的指控。

本文讨论了为参与研究不当行为审查过程的教师制定的培训计划。培训的目的是改善对研究不当行为指控的处理。进行了需求评估，以确定研究诚信官员（RIOs）和其他处理研究不当行为诉讼的官员认为参与审查研究不当行为指控的教师需要哪些培训内容。根据需求评估的结果，设立了一个培训项目。然后，研究小组试图通过教师和研究诚信官员的视角来评估这种培训的感知影响。通过前后评估对培训的学习效果和自我效能感进行评估。主要调查结果涉及对培训效果的不同意见和建议的培训替代用途。这项名为“处理研究不端行为指控”的培训目前可在网上获得。
