Implementation and Evaluation of Teaching Strategy for University Code of Ethics: Application of Virtual Learning Environment

Abstract

Codes of ethics and policies are sets of rules that define a standard for any organization, which makes it easier for individuals to perform and develop a safe and workable environment. In this study an innovative teaching methodology was developed for teaching code of ethics using interactive videos. Further, a comparative analysis was carried out between traditional teaching methodology and adopted methodologies of interactive videos. Moreover, the relationship between participant’s interest, engagement and overall performance was analyzed. This study was carried out in three universities of Pakistan. Participants were randomly selected, and divided into controlled and experimental group (N=420). Descriptive, Correlative, and Regression analysis were carried out to measure and analyze the results. It was found that teaching through interactive videos enhanced the learning process for code of ethics, resulting in increased interest, engagement and assessment test result. Interactive videos will provide a great opportunity to the organization to make the environment healthier and free of insecurities, such as harassment and behavioral misconducts.
