Scaffolding Student’s Ability to Manage Workplace Ethical Dilemmas using Interactive Case Study Videos

Ethics plays a vital role in personal and professional decision-making. However, ethical decision-making is seldom taught in the classroom. Thus, this study aimed to educate students on making ethical choices using interactive case study videos. To provide scaffolding for academic discourse, the videos were used with theoretical frameworks to facilitate students’ mindfulness about the effects of ethical choices. The pedagogical implementation was smooth due to students’ familiarity with video technology and the relatable components of the chosen frameworks. This pilot study illustrated that technology-enabled pedagogy can be used to teach students about the importance of making ethical choices.
