| contents | Students’ Perceptions of Ethics in Applied Linguistics Research at a Costa Rican Public University William Charpentier-Jiménez Educación ethics Moral education research training language instruction This article examines students’ perceptions of ethics and ethical training in research on second language acquisition. The role of ethics in applied linguistics and research has received little attention, despite its relevance. This study, which was conducted from May to June 2022, involved 26 TESOL students enrolled in a Licenciatura program at a Costa Rican public university. It used a quantitative, direct needs assessment design. The researcher collected data through a survey designed to elicit students’ opinions on this issue. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Data analyses indicate that: 1) students tend to reject unethical behaviors in research (68.75%); 2) some behaviors seem more permissible than others; 3) students consider ethics an essential component of research (x̅ = 4.6, SD = 0.57, Mod = 5); and 4) the Licenciatura program does not incorporate a systematic approach to ethical training in SLA research (X̄ = 9.33; SD = 8.08. Consistent with the reviewed literature, these findings demonstrate the lack of ethical training in language teaching programs and second language research. Furthermore, the analysis suggests that direct instruction may broaden students’ understanding of ethical issues when conducting research. Finally, these findings suggest that students would greatly benefit from a more structured curriculum that considers the ethical component of research. 2023 artículo científico 1409-4703 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=44773718013 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/447/44773718013/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/447/44773718013/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/447/44773718013/44773718013.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/447/44773718013/movil https://doi.org/10.15517/aie.v23i1.51587 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=447 Revista Electrónica "Actualidades Investigativas en Educación" application/pdf Universidad de Costa Rica Revista Electrónica "Actualidades Investigativas en Educación" (Costa Rica) Num.1 Vol.23 |
