工程专业学生对道德和社会责任的看法可能是复杂的,多方面的,并受到参与不同经验的影响。为了探索这些影响,我们调查了美国四所大学的工程专业本科生,以了解他们对道德和社会责任的看法如何随着时间的推移而变化,以及这些变化是否与参与课程和课外活动有关。学生进行了三次调查:在第一,第五和第八学期的本科学习。我们分析了学生(n= 226)谁回答所有三个调查的反应。我们报告了调查中使用的五项指标的结果:工程/情境判断基础、道德气候指数、正义信念、政治和社会参与量表和道德脱离。分析采用双向混合方差分析,以确定随着时间的推移,这些措施的变化,包括变化是否受到自我报告的参与某些经验(实习,服务学习,道德教育等)。当我们比较学生群体时--那些参加和没有参加各种体验的学生--我们发现大多数措施都没有相互作用。我们假设这反映了一种自我选择体验的模式。我们的研究结果表明,制定有影响力的道德干预措施的难度,因为学生到达大学与预先存在的知识和对伦理和道德的看法。
Engineering students’ views of ethics and social responsibility can be complex, multi-faceted, and influenced by participation in diverse experiences. To explore these influences, we surveyed engineering undergraduates at four U.S. universities to understand how their perceptions of ethics and social responsibility changed over time and whether changes were related to participation in curricular and co-curricular experiences. Students were surveyed three times: during the first, fifth, and eighth semesters of their undergraduate studies. We analyse the responses of students (n= 226) who responded to all three surveys. We report results from five measures used in the survey: Fundamentals of Engineering/Situational Judgement, Ethical Climate Index, Justice Beliefs, Political and Social Involvement Scale, and Moral Disengagement. Analysis used two-way mixed ANOVA to identify changes over time on these measures, including whether changes were influenced by self-reported participation in certain experiences (internships, service-learning, ethics instruction, etc.). When we compared groups of students – those who did and did not participate in various experiences – we saw no interaction effects for most measures. We hypothesise this reflects a pattern of self-selection into experiences. Our findings suggest the difficulty of developing impactful ethics interventions, given that students arrive at university with pre-existing knowledge and perceptions about ethics and morality.
