Teaching Ethical Decision-Making using Frameworks and Interactive Case Studies

Students are often not taught intentionally how to manage workplace ethical dilemmas. This study adopted onsite teaching of ethical frameworks and interactive videos to examine their impact on students' decision-making process for two case studies presented. Workshop results from 111 internship students revealed that students’ primary considerations in decision-making were conscience, law, and fairness. Furthermore, 87.3% of them found the frameworks moderately, very, or extremely useful. Lastly, the use of interactive videos was supported by 76.5% of the students, rating it moderately useful and above. Students also suggested incorporating more realistic scenarios and role-plays in future implementations of the workshop.
