Aspirational Ethics as a Contributing Factor in Engineering Students’ Ethical Awareness and Behavior

As ethical behavior is a part of engineers' professional identity and practice, developing ethical behavior skills in future engineers is a vital component of the engineering curriculum. There are already established instructional methods to teach engineering ethics (EE), however, it is concentrated on ethical awareness, and little attention has been given to how this will affect the ethical behavior. Even though students are capable of exercising ethical judgment, it does not mean that they are ethically literate or likely to act ethically. The assessment of engineering ethics cannot be conducted based on ethical judgment, because the ethical awareness of some engineers has not translated into ethical behavior. An alternative instructional method for measuring the ethical behavior is required to see how the ethical awareness given in the classroom setting is translated to the actual ethical behavior. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to propose an instructional method that correlates with both ethical awareness and ethical behavior, through aspirational ethics which require the students to contribute to the society. This method integrates the theory of morals and values, ethical and unethical conduct, code of practices of an engineer, ethics with the environment, and the responsibility of the engineer for the safety of everybody. Students’ ethical behavior in the society will be demonstrated through the University Social Responsibility (USR) projects. From these projects, the students’ ethical behavior is assessed by their peers, beneficiaries that they are serving, as well as by the educators, regarding their ethical conduct. This will be the tools to observe the degree of correlations between the ethical awareness instilled and behavior manifested. Applying these instructional methods will allow educators to build confidence and trust in their students' ability to build a professional identity and be prepared for the engineering profession and practice.

Introduction

The Introduction claims the centrality of comedy as a Renaissance genre. It outlines the study’s thesis, that Shakespearean comedy contains an aura of enchantment that plays against its rationalist dimension and that enchantment effects can provoke thought, communalism, and ethical awareness. The Introduction locates the argument in various contexts: that of recent theories of comedy, including those emphasizing rationalism; that of modern disenchantment and countervailing defenses of wonder and enchantment; that of ideas of the comic surplus as demarcating a mysterious, even Utopian, aspect of comedy; that of recent critical interest in magic and medievalism; and, finally, that of present-day criticism of Shakespearean comedy. Studies of Shakespeare’s comedy sometimes avoid confronting its fantasy dimension, which can use experiences of enchantment to put the dominant narrative (along with its own claims) in doubt. In the comedies, enchantment can be revelatory—while remaining a little ridiculous and demanding continued thought.

Kristen dan Teknologi: Etika, Literasi dan Ciptaan

With ethical awareness, literacy abilities, and awareness as God's intelligent creatures, Christians in various dynamics of life must continue to show a human ethics and spirituality, especially in the context of Christian ethics and spirituality. The Christians are able to use the results of the development of science and technology in digital systems. Although, learning, supervision and self-control as God's people are things that are constantly attached to it. With the advance and increasing number of scientific and technological discoveries in various forms, Christians are challenged to publicize themselves and their discipleship calls in the context of digital technology with various media. Christianity and technology become important topics of study that can be included in the umbrella of the great scientific knowledge of theology and science which have been under-attention in certain denominations. Christianity and technology as an academic discourse in lecture classes will be very applicable in the broad life of students and the Christian community in the future, especially by including the ethics, literacy, and creation as sub-topics in it. This discussion has become very important in the age of technology so that understanding and behavior of how Christians should place themselves in the midst of new challenges in the real new age is now being managed with adulthood. ==== Dengan kesadaran beretika, kemampuan literasi, dan kesadaran sebagai makhluk ciptaan Tuhan yang cerdas maka umat Kristiani dalam berbagai dinamika hidup mesti tetap memperlihatkan sebuah etika dan spiritualitas manusia, terutama dalam konteks etika dan spiritualitas Kristiani. Umat Kristen terbilang mampu menggunakan hasil perkembangan sains dan teknologi dalam sistem digital. Meskipun pembelajaran, pengawasan dan penguasaan diri sebagai umat Tuhan merupakan hal-hal yang terus-menerus melekat di dalamnya. Majunya dan semakin banyaknya temuan sains dan teknologi dalam berbagai bentuk, membuat umat Kristiani ditantang untuk mempublikasikan diri dan panggilan pemuridannya dalam konteks berteknologi digital dengan berbagai media. Kristen dan teknologi penting menjadi satu pokok bahasan kajian yang bisa dimasukkan ke dalam payung keilmuan besar teologi dan sains yang selama kurang diperhatikan dalam denominasi tertentu. Kristen dan teknologi sebagai satu diskursus akademik di dalam kelas-kelas perkuliahan akan menjadi sangat aplikatif dalam kehidupan luas mahasiswa dan masyarakat Kristiani di kemudian hari apalagi dengan menyertakan sisi etika, literasi, dan ciptaan sebagai sub-sub bahasan di dalamnya. Pembahasan ini menjadi amat penting di zaman teknologi agar pemahaman dan perilaku bagaimana seharusnya umat Kristiani menempatkan dirinya di tengah-tengah tantangan baru di zaman baru yang nyata sekarang ini menjadi terkelola dengan dewasa.

The Status Quo and Attribution of Wildlife Crimes: A Study of Cases in China From the Perspective of Ecological Economic Ethics

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has ravaged the world, has led to a rethinking of the relationship between humans and nature and the clichés of the economic-centered model. Thus, the ecological economy has been reviewed, especially from an ethical worldview. This paper uses statistical methods to retrieve and categorize 3,646 wildlife crime cases for analysis and quantitative research. It adopts legal and ethical perspectives to analyze the subject and the subjective, incidence, and sentencing factors of wildlife crimes and uses the ecological economic ethical model to measure wildlife crimes. We argue that the existing judicial system fails to answer the difficulties of the economic ethics of wildlife crimes. It is recommended that ecological and economic ethical awareness be internalized. We suggest calling for comprehensive legislation on wildlife crimes from the perspective of ecological economic ethics to effectively prevent and reduce wildlife crime and eventually promote public health.

Integrating Digital Literacy Into EFL Classroom: A Study of Theory of Planned Behavior

Beliefs take a vital role in influencing students' decision about integrating digital literacy in EFL classroom. This case study investigated students' behavioral, control, and normative beliefs toward integrating digital literacy into the EFL classroom. This research used the Theory of Planned Behavior initiated by Ajzen to collect and analyze the data. The results of interviews and observations highlighted students' integration of digital literacy into EFL classroom referred to several beliefs. The behavioral beliefs (attitude toward advantages of a behavior) about the value of digital literacy for its effectiveness and efficiency potential to find information, to promote students cognitive skills and ethical awareness, and to improve English proficiency; normative beliefs (about social support) about the meeting of the expectation of school, teachers, parents, and friends; and control beliefs (about perceive behavioral control) about the opportunity and the availability to interact with the technology. This study highlighted a substantive theory related to the findings: Students' positive beliefs about integrating digital literacy into EFL classroom influence students' learning strategy. By having positive beliefs about the outcomes that students will get (behavioral beliefs), support from family, teachers, and the school environment (normative beliefs), as well as beliefs about the presence of factors that may facilitate or hinder the performance (control beliefs), students demonstrate the tendency to always use digital technology in learning English.

Background Approaches involving resource nurses have been used in several fields of practice to enhance quality of care. A literature review reveals limited research on the role of the resource nurse in palliative care in the community. Aim To explore experiences related to the role of the resource nurse in palliative care in the setting of nursing homes in Norway. Design The study has an explorative design with a qualitative approach. Methods Two semi structured group interviews were conducted. Five resource nurses participated in the first interview, two resource nurses participated in the last interview. The group interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim and analysed with systematic text condensation. Results The resource nurses wish to promote high-quality palliative care. They are skilled palliative nurses working clinically, and they use their experience and knowledge to talk about and demonstrate good practice. By conveying knowledge and being role models, they bolster their colleagues’ confidence and skills in palliative care and contribute to a shared view of quality. They can potentially play an important role in facilitating reflection and collaboration in the palliative care team. However, the resource nurse’s function is affected by interpersonal, managerial and organisational factors. Conclusion The resource nurse most important tool in promoting high-quality palliative care may be to support their colleagues being a role model, and sharing knowledge and experience. The resource nurses play an important role in facilitating reflection and collaboration in the palliative care team and may contribute to ethical awareness and proper dialogues about end of life issues.
