HARU Evaluating and Assessing Tech Ethics Education

Our project had three original objectives: 1) understanding Public Interest Technology (PIT) pedagogies with the goal of improvement; 2) producing new test tools to evaluate approaches to teaching PIT-related ethics; and 3) testing the hypothesis that alignment between instructors and learners promotes learning in PIT contexts. In the present study, the research team was able to make significant advances in regards to the first two goals, and to gather evidence that can be used to inform and shape future studies aimed at testing the hypothesis outlined in the third objective.
