ABSTRACT

The support and trust given to researchers in recent times is a world-wide phenomenon, and the results of such work have been a major driving for the modernization of human civilization. However by the middle of 20th Century, cases began to emerge of plagiarism or bogus research which led to major scandals in the United States, and which triggered a national debate in the US on the ethics involved. In Korea, the concept of 'research ethics' was unfamiliar to most people before the year 2000. That changed, however, when fabricated research in the area of life sciences caused a national loss of face. To date, most of the discussion on research ethics has centered on graduate students or professors undertaking research. This thesis emphasizes the value of supplementary education for study ethics for undergraduate students, and suggests ways to improve the fundamental cultural climate in Korean society in the long term. Prevention is more effective than sanctions or restrictions, and this is a view shared by tertiary education professionals world-wide. While examining the current discussions on the ethics of research in the areas of science and engineering, this thesis also explores the promotion of study ethics for students of the liberal arts and sociology, and how they can be presented in a form which undergraduates can fully understand. For practical purposes, the subject of 'Research Ethics' could be taught as one of the core General education subjects, in which the professor responsible for each major subject can devise lectures in the form of team teaching, and divide their responsible area under a unified structure. They would do so by discussion-oriented sessions, using examples and key points, rather than focusing on textbooks, and the method of study could be completed through presentation and individual research.
