Research Ethics Board Guidelines for Ethics Review of Course-based Research Projects. 48
The following criteria can be used to assess whether information-gathering activities within a university course are part of a research project or are for the teaching of professional skills or pedagogic purposes. Information gathering activities are classified as RESEARCH where the intent is to educate students on research processes used to explore and expand existing theories and conceptual knowledge; students compare new techniques, practices, programs with standard approaches to determine which is more effective; the results or findings are written in a format that would be acceptable for a research journal or academic conference presentation; or primary data is collected and organized for analysis and distribution or dissemination. Information gathering activities are classified as SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND NOT RESEARCH when: the intent is to use the information to provide advice, diagnosis, identification of appropriate interventions, or general advice for a client; the intent is to develop skills which are considered standard practice within a profession (e.g., observation, assessment, intervention, evaluation, auditing); the information gathering processes are part of the normal relationship between the student and the participants (e.g., classroom teacher and students, nurse and patient, lawyer and client), Instructors who are uncertain as to whether a learning activity or project falls outside the scope of the criteria outlined in this document should contact the Ethics Office at 966-2975 or the relevant Departmental/College Research Ethics Committee (REC). For further clarification, please see Appendix I for examples of projects and activities that would require review. Criteria for Student Research If a class project falls under the definition of research as described above, the following guidelines and procedures may be applied. The instructor may oversee the conduct of his or her individual student’s research by completing an “Application for Review of a Course-Based Research Program” and submitting it for approval to the Departmental/College Research Ethics Committee (REC), or the appropriate REB, if there is no REC. If a student is conducting a different research project than that outlined as part of the course-based research program, then an “Application for Review of an Individual Student Class Project” must be completed and submitted for approval. An “Application for Review of an Individual Student Class Project” is also required for Honours projects or Graduate student projects if the following criteria are met.
