How to Use This Curriculum

This Research Ethics Training Curriculum is designed to engage the learner. Adult learning and retention improves when the learner participates actively in the learning process. The Research Ethics Training Curriculum can be used as either an interactive self-study program or as a participatory, group training experience. It is expected that completing this curriculum will take approximately 4 hours. If you are a self-study user or a first time group presenter, please click your browser's back button twice and choose the Self Study option or use the Self Study Shortcut at the bottom left of this screen. Note that while in the Self Study section, you will find a Presenter Shortcut link in this same location. We recommend that group presenters work through the self-study version of the curriculum first, to prepare for the group training. After completing the self-study version of the curriculum, group presenters should return to this point to prepare to lead a training session using the Presenter Tools. 

The Presenter Tools contain print and projection tools in Adobe
© Acrobat© format, including:

  • Color Slides for Online Presentation

  • Master Slides for Overhead Projection

  • Presenter Notes

  • Student Handouts

  • Case Studies

  • Evaluations

The Color Slides for Online Presentation section is for presentation on a computer screen or projection from a computer. If an overhead projector is your only available projection device, print the Master Slides for Overhead Projection and copy onto transparencies for presentation.

Use the Presenter Notes section to print speaker's notes for yourself, and review them before presenting. The Presenter Notes section is composed of grayscale summary slides followed by narrative text. At times, the narrative is followed by a shaded box labeled “Learner Note.” Learner notes contain interactive questions or activities. Ask the group to call out or write on flip chart paper some answers to the questions asked by the learner notes. This will help your participants retain the key messages.

Use the Student Handouts section to print note-taking handouts for your participants. Each page displays three slides with space for taking notes during the presentation. These can be printed in color or grayscale.

The Case Studies section provides 8 reproductive health case studies followed by thought-provoking questions. The case studies help anchor the curriculum to the reality of designing and implementing research studies. These case studies address reproductive health ethical considerations and are based on actual situations encountered by researchers at Family Health International (FHI).

Five of these case studies are found in the Narrative section of the curriculum; the other 3 case studies are found only in the Case Studies section. You will want to print a copy for yourself and photocopy the case studies for your participants to have available during the training session.

The Evaluations section includes a Pre-Test, a Post Test, an answer key to the Pre and Post Test, and the Evaluation form. Please inform your participants that in order to receive their certificate of completion, they need to fill out the Evaluation form and send it to FHI at the address provided in the next section. 

Note: If you have Microsoft® PowerPoint® installed on your computer, there is a fully functional version of the Color Slide Show with Presenter's Notes in a folder on the CD directory of the Research Ethics Training Curriculum CD.
