A research refers to as any careful systematic, patient study and investigation in some field of knowledge undertaken to discover or establish facts or principle Ethics is refers to as a study of what is morally right. dignity and welfare of the participants.
Researchers conduct research not just because they enjoy the process but also because research is needed for human improvement. Researchers also require consideration of some ethical concerns. The researcher must carry out the research with respect and concern for theand what is not. When a researcher thinks about ethics he or she must ask himself if it is right to conduct a particular study or carried out certain procedures. Many research carried out unless deception of participant take place.
A research ethics means what a researcher is supposes to do and what he or she is not suppose to do. A research must carry out with respect and concern for the dignity and welfare of the participant. Example a researcher must make a careful analysis of the ethical acceptability of the research. He must ensures that he provide participant with information that remain confidential except that it has been agree up in advance.
A participant is a person who takes part in or becomes involved in a particular activity or a participant is a person who the researcher uses to conduct his or her research. I agree that participant should be deceived, this is because it make the researcher finds what exactly information he or she is looking for. Example; in a study, the headmaster wanted to make a research on how student always fail in Mr. Bediako’s subject. He therefore went to the class to get the information why the student always fails in that particular subject. He deceive the student by telling them they should feel free and tell him why they always fail in that subject because he wanted to change the lecturer. Because the headmaster says he will change the lecturer it makes the student happy so they went ahead to say a lot about the lecturer. The head of the school later on get the accurate information from the student why they fail in the subject.
Such practice must be justified and immediately after participating, the student should be told of such deception and have the reason for it. Imagine what the result of the study may be if he told the student exactly what he was trying to find, will they have help him get the result.
After the research has been completed, you have an ethical responsibility to debrief all participants, you should erase any negative effect that may have resulted from participation. You have to explain to participant thoroughly what has been done, how and why .
