Abstract

Purpose: This study emphasizes that research ethics significantly impact not only individual moral judgments but also the trust of the academic community and society as a whole. Research design, data, and methodology: It explores ethical dilemmas faced by researchers through a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating psychological and sociological perspectives. Results: The study presents the following key findings. First, from a psychological perspective, it analyzes how researchers' psychological motivations influence ethical decision-making and proposes strategies to mitigate psychological mechanisms such as self-justification and moral disengagement. Second, from a sociological perspective, it examines how research ethics are shaped by the norms of academic communities and institutions, as well as how power dynamics and structural factors influence research misconduct. Additionally, it suggests establishing systems to ensure fairness and independence in research processes and evaluations, along with emphasizing the importance of ethical leadership and role modeling. Conclusions: By adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of research ethics issues, supports researchers in fulfilling their ethical responsibilities, and explores ways to enhance research integrity and trustworthiness. Future research should analyze concrete cases across various academic fields and conduct empirical studies to further improve the practical implementation of research ethics.

Abstract

Purpose: In particular, the development of AI technology is having a great impact on the education and learning, assignments, and research of university students. Therefore, it is necessary to develop metrics that take into account advances in AI technology. The purpose of this study is to investigate the awareness and actual situation of plagiarism and copyright infringement among college students who are familiar with and use various devices the most, and to consider educational measures to utilize the right AI environment through proper education on plagiarism. Research design, data and methodology: The study will conduct an online survey of current students at four-year colleges and universities across the country from December 2 to December 31, 2024. 347 samples were used in the analysis. Conclusions: This study shows that most students do not receive clear guidance from their instructors about plagiarism when using AI in their assignments. It also appears that many learners do not consider that using AI in their assignments could be a plagiarism issue. Instructors will need to remind learners that they need to be trained to verify and validate their work when using AI environments for assignments. Therefore, it is urgent to develop guidelines for the ethics of assignments in the rapidly developing AI environment.

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose is to analyze Korea's elementary school AI ethics curriculum and lesson plans and explore the direction in which AI ethics education should move forward. Research design, data and methodology: The characteristics of the curriculum and instructional guide developed by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education and the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education were analyzed. Results: The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education has developed its own artificial intelligence ethics education model and content system and is operating it based on this. Although the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education does not have a separate education model, it has developed and is operating a specific class instruction plan. What the two places have in common is that they are operated in conjunction with artificial intelligence technology experience and understanding, as well as ethics, based on artificial intelligence ethical standards. Conclusions: Artificial intelligence can demonstrate capabilities similar to those of humans or can show superior performance in some areas. However, if such convenience and excellence are not properly designed and controlled at the elementary school level, it may lead to unintended consequences. Therefore, when developing and utilizing artificial intelligence, opportunities for students to think should be provided through ethics education.
