Proposed Project: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of an Educational
Interactive Video on Research Integrity--OMB No. 0990-New-Office of
Research Integrity.
Abstract: The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) proposes to
conduct a nine-month evaluation study of the effectiveness of an
educational interactive video on research integrity.
The study seeks to answer two questions: (a) Objectively, is the
Educational Interactive Video for Research Integrity (EIVRI) effective
in achieving learning outcomes? (b) Subjectively, do learners and
teachers perceive the video simulation as effective in helping them
learn and teach research integrity? To answer the first question, a
pretest-posttest control group experimental design is used to assess
the effectiveness of individual learning of research integrity
principles and concepts through the use of the video simulation. The
video simulation instruction will be incorporated into an existing
syllabus for a research integrity or research ethics course for the
treatment group. The control group will use the existing syllabus with
no video simulation in class. Participants will be graduate students
enrolled in these ethics courses to learn and apply the responsible
conduct of research at educational institutions. Participants will fill
out a demographics form to discern if they have had prior training
experience in research integrity. Those who have prior training
experience and those who do not have prior training experience will be
randomly assigned to either the treatment group or the control group.
The random assignment will be done by picking the last digit of each
individual's social security number for the two groups. The video
simulation will be approximately four-hour long total. All students
will take a pre-test quiz when they fill out the demographics form.
Once the treatment is completed, all students will be asked to take a
post-test quiz and answer a post-viewing questionnaire to capture their
perceptions of the video simulation.
To answer the second question, the study will collect qualitative
data from semi-structured interviews as well as focus groups. The semi-
structured interviews will be conducted twice with faculty who teach
the courses in the first part of the study, in person or on the phone,
before and after he/she uses the video simulation. Participants for the
focus groups will be selected from the students who participate in the
first part of the study. The focus group will last one hour.
