The above link is to the initial version of my Ethics form, which was prepared as the ideas for the project were developing. It was sparse in terms of information and methodologies that would be used. The feedback that I received directed me towards additional resources and to consider the ethical implications of some of my methods and approaches. The article ‘Focus group methodology: some ethical challenges’ by Sim and Waterfield (please see reference in final Ethics form) was particularly insightful for understanding the ethical risks involved which I weighed against the participatory approach I wanted to take regarding further developing the pedagogic approaches I had implemented with the students.

My second revision of the Ethics form allowed me to plan in much more detail the research whilst at the same considering the ethical framework. The feedback also allowed me to refine my research question. Please see link to the final version of the Ethics form below.
