The survey, comprised of various Likert scales, gleaned information on the (a) person responsible for ethics instruction, (b) structure, (c) instructional materials, (d) instructional methods, (e) goals, (f) content, and (g) evaluation indices of ethics education. For three mailings the total response rate was 62% (129).","Descriptive statistics for the present state of ethics training indicated that 69% of sites have formal ethics training as a required experience (96%), consuming more than 20 hours of instructional time (74%). Seventy-eight percent were positive on the influence of their ethics instruction on student ethical decision-making abilities. Main goals focused on sensitizing students to ethical issues, and promoting an ethical decision process. In the future, all sites felt ethics training should be offered as a formal (75%), required (99%) experience with more emphasis placed on present goals.","A paired t test for dependent samples indicated that all goals and content areas would be emphasized significantly more in the future than in current practice. In addition, there would be a definitive increase ethics instruction. A grouped t test for independent samples indicated that there were differences between clinical and counseling sites on (a) the time devoted to ethics instruction, (b) the reasons for having ethics, (c) goals, and (d) content areas.","The study concludes that ethics education is an essential aspect of doctoral training programs and suggests that more specific evaluations of ethics education interventions are needed.","Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:51:49Z (GMT).
