ABSTRACT

Currently the number of students with disabilities has increased after passing several significant laws and policies. Consequently, researches on people with students with disabilities and their related persons also were expanded. However, there are limited researches and dialogues on research ethics, in particular protecting participants in special education field although people with disabilities are critically vulnerable research participants in self- decision on research participation. This study tried to analyze current situations, perceptions, and future efforts in research ethics in special education with current researchers and graduate students majoring special education. The results could be summarized into four. First, there were discrepancy between general awareness and more detail knowledge about research ethics for people with disabilities. Second, many participants in this study emphasized improving individual and social awareness rather than establishing laws and system including training graduate students as well institutionalizing IRB. Third, participants favored more inactive ways in approaching research ethics. Lastly, there were differences among researchers in perceiving effective future ways of enhancing research ethics in special education.
