Question – Food for Thought
• Is there really a difference between the fields of– Religion– Law– Social Mores and– Ethics?
Right click to get speaker notes
Literature• Best practices for teaching of ethics
– James Rest’s Integrated Model for effecting ethical behavior– Use of the ethical dilemma story and case study
• The narrative imagination– Use of Group interaction
• Cognitive Disequilibrium– Piaget’s cognitive disequilibrium– Kohlberg’s stages of ethical development
• Scaffolding– Vygotsky
– Teaching critical thinking skills– Critical theory
• The humane use and care of research animals– The Animal Welfare Act of 1966– The Guide to the Use and Care of Laboratory Animals
• Best practices in on-line instruction– The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Accessibility Guidelines– Hirumi on Interactivity– Jacob Nielsen on User Control

Background
• Use of both animals and humans in research has a “checkered history.”
• External regulation has often resulted
Animals Humans
Animal Welfare Act of 1966
The Common Rule of 1991
Right click to get speaker notes
Animal Welfare Act of 1966
Regulates institutions and those who would do research with animals– Regulates the protocol– Regulates transportation, housing and daily
care of research animals
Lack of compliance can bring serious consequences – to the individual researcher and – to the entire institution

Purdue’s Animal Care Program
• The Purdue Animal Care and Use Committee (PACUC) reviews protocols
• The Laboratory Animal Program (LAP) provides veterinary care
• Both PACUC and LAP provide training to animal users– General orientation link no longer active as of apr 2008
– Species and technique specific training link no longer active as of apr 2008

Problem Definition
• PACUC / LAP Orientation– “One size fits all”
• Researchers• Animal caretakers• Undergraduate students

Problem Definition
• Undergraduate animal workers should understand their roles and responsibilities in using and humanely caring for research and teaching animals.

Students must understand :
• There must be a protocol and it must be approved by PACUC before animals can be used in research and teaching.
• Protocol procedures cannot be changed without approval from PACUC.
• How to obtain veterinary care for an animal who is sick – and how to catch the cues.
• How to report a noncompliance concern.• How and where to get the appropriate
training for the species and procedure• How to document their training
qualifications• How to sign up for the Occupational
Health Program

Evaluative Strategy
• Two identical evaluations– One face to face– One over distance (WebCT)
• Pre-test and Post-test (actual quiz) to see if instruction was in line with the objectives
• Feedback• Interview
– Did they experience any technical problems– Was it fast enough?– Did they have any opinions of the graphics and charts used?– Did the instruction make them want even more to treat animals
ethically and humanely?

Student Formative Evaluations Results

Conclusions
While the on-line orientation format presented extremely limited opportunities, it could at least begin to expose students to the development of ethical character. While instruction did not necessarily seem to increase these students’ awareness or desire to treat animals more humanely, it did give them important information they needed to perform their roles in the humane care and use of animals for research and teaching – and they genuinely seemed to appreciate it.
