# educ 7710 unit 2 ethics response video Jethro Jones ## Assignment Directions ## Assignment 1. Summarize the issue/questions you are interested in researching. I am interested in researching how principals value their professional development. I plan to research how new principals, in their first 3 years view their professional development experiences, beyond onboarding in their district. I'll focus on their level of support, type of professional development, whether they sought it out or were provided it by the district, and then 2. Discuss whether there are: - possibilities to harm study participants - issues where confidentiality may be an issue. - possibilities of problems of deception There are minimal risks to harm participants. it can be classified as potential risk to reputation if they say something bad about their experiences. Their district may not appreciate negative feedback. 3. Discuss which IRB category you think your study would fall under - Category 1 - Exempt Review - Category 2 - Expedited Review - because it would include direct identifiers, principal name, PD processes, recordings of their responses, and more. - Category 3 - Full Review [[EDUC 7710 Research methods]]
