ABSTRACT

Research ethics in international and comparative education (ICE) highlights the diverse challenges that ICE researchers face in enacting ethical practice. In particular, the significant gaps between ethics presented in Western ethical guidelines and international fieldwork. Through analysis of existing guidelines and questionnaire responses from 46 BAICE members, this article demonstrates that more ethical guidance is needed to support ICE researchers. A new framework is put forward centred on five core ethical values – transparency and honesty, respect and care, conscious freedom, experiential and tacit awareness and reflexive practice – situated on an axis of universality and enacted through co-constructive dialogue. This extends the theory of relational ethics as a contemporary approach to ethics. In the context of ICE, it is hoped that this framework will provide guidance for researchers to navigate ethics in a global world, in which we find ourselves universally bound to divergence and change.

摘要

国际和比较教育（ICE）中的研究伦理强调了ICE研究人员在制定伦理实践中面临的各种挑战。尤其是，西方道德准则中提出的道德与国际实地调查之间存在巨大差距。通过对现有准则和来自46个BAICE成员的问卷调查表的分析，本文表明，需要更多的道德指导来支持ICE研究人员。提出了一个围绕五个核心道德价值观的新框架，即透明性和诚实，尊重与关怀，有意识的自由，经验性和默契性以及反思性实践，这些价值观位于普遍性轴上，并通过共同建设性对话得以制定。这将关系伦理学理论扩展为当代伦理学方法。在ICE的背景下，
