A Study on Current Status and Demand for Internet Safety  and Ethics Education in Chinese Universities

Challenges to academic integrity in management education appear to be on the rise in U.S. institutions of higher education. In an effort to reduce cheating and plagiarism in business education, universities have turned to a variety of technological approaches. However, technology cannot be considered a panacea for ensuring academic integrity and is probably best viewed as a “stop gap” measure that can eventually be compromised. The authors begin this chapter by describing how declining ethics has been evidenced recently in business. Then, they present a review of the literature describing the extent and causes of academic dishonesty and discuss what some educational institutions are doing to address academic integrity, including calls for an increase in ethics education. Finally, they review technological approaches used by many colleges and universities to prevent cheating and plagiarism, examining the features, strengths, weaknesses, and current status of each technology.

Clinical Scenarios

AbstractNeurologists regularly confront complex clinical scenarios that require the application of ethical principles to achieve a respectful and fair resolution. In this article, we describe the types of ethically precarious scenarios neurologists encounter, the current status of standards for ethics and communication training for neurology residents, and the present practice of ethics training in neurology residency programs. We make recommendations for optimizing bioethics training for neurology residents and suggest methods for assessing the efficacy of these training initiatives. We emphasize the current need for strengthening the practical bioethics skills of neurologists.

Website Analysis

On April 2, 2018, the State Council of China formally released a national research data management (RDM) policy “Measures for Managing Scientific Data”. Literature review shows that university libraries have played an important role in supporting Research Data Management at an institutional level in countries in North America, Europe and Australasia. The aim of this paper is to capture the current status of RDM in Chinese universities, in particular how university libraries have involved in taking the agenda forward. This paper uses mixed methods: a website analysis of university policies and services; a questionnaire for university librarians; and semi-structured interviews. Findings from website analysis and questionnaires indicate that RDS at a local level in Chinese Universities are in their infancy. On the whole there is more evidence of activity in developing data repositories than support services. Despite the existence of a national policy there remain significant barriers to further service development, such as the lag in the creation of local policy, insufficient funding for technical infrastructure, shortages of staff skills in data curation, and language barriers to international data sharing and open science. RDS in Chinese university libraries are still lagging behind the English-speaking countries and Europe.

Education In China

The article examines the issue of teaching medical ethics in leading Chinese universities in the training of medical professionals and found that medical ethics courses for physicians are an innovation for Chinese medical high schools. Due to different cultural traditions, researchers of Chinese medical ethics hold conflicting views on the scientific importance and practical necessity of medical ethics and bioethics. The study found that medical ethics education in China has gradually adapted the experience of leading countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom in teaching ethics. China is now in the process of discussing how to develop its own traditional ethics in the context of globalization. It is established that in the program of masters in medicine the formation of ethical knowledge is a mandatory subject. The teaching of medical ethics takes place not only while studying in Chinese universities, but is a long-term lifelong process in which the student summarizes the results of their efforts, combining moral reflection, learning and leadership. The article analyzes the methods and content of teaching medical ethics, which include relevant cultural, social and personal development, and the education of masters in medicine at Chinese universities.Teaching ethics in medical universities is a relatively new area of medical education in China, ethics curricula have different levels of development. In order to determine the peculiarities in the contents of curricula, teaching and learning methods, forms of evaluation and quality of teaching ethics in China, it was analyzed ethical education in several leading medical universities in China: Wuhan University School of Medicine, Guangzhou Medical University and Peking University School of Medicine. In the process of scientific research on the teaching of ethics in universities, it was found that medical ethics for some time was part of the mandatory course of disciplines, with a strong tendency to emphasize the correct ideological thinking of future physicians.Key words: specialist in medicine, medical ethics, master’s degree, higher medical education in China, professional competence of doctor.
