posted on 2007-06-07, 09:52 authored by Michael Gary Thomas, Howard G. DentonThis paper reviews the ethical issues that need
consideration when carrying out a piece of research as a
practitioner/researcher. This is based on the lead author’s
own action research. The paper presents the background
to the ethical debate and the practitioner/researcher’s
professional role and the potential for bias –
objectivity/subjectivity. Ethical issues are reviewed in
connection with the subjects of the research – school
staff and pupils with reference to their confidentiality,
anonymity and possible withdrawal. The paper concludes
with consideration of the legal implications of carrying out
practitioner research in the UK. Finally the authors present
a framework for checking ethical issues.
