Over the past decade, the effectiveness of ethics education programs has increased with regard to trainee outcomes, such as knowledge, awareness, and ethical decision making. However, despite the overall improvement in training effectiveness, considerable variability still exists across programs. One potential source of variability arises from the substantial range in instructional training content utilized across ethics training courses. The goal of the present effort was to clarify which approaches in ethics education result in positive training outcomes through the identification of instructional content themes. Through a qualitative review of ethics training courses, we identified key themes in instructional content curriculum associated with effective courses: domain-general, domain-specific, standard compliance, professionalism, and process-based. In addition, we identified key themes associated with less effective courses: mixed-specificity, narrow coverage, and idealized ethics. Descriptions and key characteristics of each theme along with example courses are provided. Implications of the content themes for ethics education are discussed.
在过去十年中，伦理教育项目在学员成果方面的有效性有所提高，比如在知识、意识和伦理决策等方面。然而，尽管培训效果总体有所改善，但各项目之间仍存在相当大的差异。差异的一个潜在来源是伦理培训课程所采用的教学培训内容范围广泛。本研究的目的是通过确定教学内容主题，阐明伦理教育中的哪些方法能带来积极的培训成果。通过对伦理培训课程的定性审查，我们确定了与有效课程相关的教学内容课程中的关键主题：通用领域、特定领域、标准合规、专业精神和基于过程的主题。此外，我们还确定了与效果较差的课程相关的关键主题：混合特异性、覆盖范围狭窄和理想化伦理。文中提供了每个主题的描述、关键特征以及示例课程。还讨论了内容主题对伦理教育的影响。
