Abstract:

Carrying out research in education often raises ethical issues, because it involves people other than the researcher. An ethical issue is one that concerns right and wrong ways of acting and behaving. One central principle of ethical behavior is that we should not act in ways which may cause foreseeable harm to another person, or group of people. Another is truthfulness – a commitment to report what you find as accurately and honestly as you can.
