最近的研究表明，道德教育的内容，教材和教学的潜在问题的变化。虽然道德教育现在很普遍，但研究发现，道德教育的目标和方法存在很大差异，研究人员得出结论，许多方法可能与无法实现的目标不适当地配对。本文谈到这些问题，通过展示调整基于课堂的评估，以明确的道德学习目标，以帮助学生和教师跟踪他们的进展，以满足这些目标的重要性。在两所不同的大学进行的两项研究证明了基于课堂的形成性评估对于提高学生在计算建模和研究伦理方面的案例响应质量的有用性。
Recent research in ethics education shows a potentially problematic variation in content, curricular materials, and instruction. While ethics instruction is now widespread, studies have identified significant variation in both the goals and methods of ethics education, leaving researchers to conclude that many approaches may be inappropriately paired with goals that are unachievable. This paper speaks to these concerns by demonstrating the importance of aligning classroom-based assessments to clear ethical learning objectives in order to help students and instructors track their progress toward meeting those objectives. Two studies at two different universities demonstrate the usefulness of classroom-based, formative assessments for improving the quality of students’ case responses in computational modeling and research ethics.
