- W338822376 abstract "Editorial Observations In early July, 2002 the e-journal Global Virtue Ethics Review (GVER) held its second annual ethics conference in conjunction with the International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration (IASIA) at the International Conference Center in Istanbul, Turkey. A number of academics, practitioners and interested parties attended the special one day meeting whose theme focused on non traditional approaches to addressing and teaching ethics. In this special issue of GVER, the reader will be able to participate in much the same way as those who attended the conference. Following the pattern established at its first meeting in Athens, Greece in 2001, this issue of GVER is also available in a Microsoft Producer video download with synchronized PowerPoint slide presentations included. Each of the three papers presented follow this pattern with extended discussion sessions following the author's presentation. Opening the conference was Thomas D. Lynch, Editor of GVER and Professor of Public Administration at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Lynch, in his paper co-authored with Cynthia E. Lynch of Southern University, discusses teaching ethics online using the problem-based learning (PBL) method. According to Lynch and Lynch, PBL uses something similar to the familiar case study that public administration educators have used with varying degrees of success for many decades. However, in PBL educators must structure and use the case studies with a particular method of learning firmly in mind. The teacher wants the student to first encounter the problem. Next, the student should follow a systematic, student-centered inquiry process. The purpose behind PBL is to create in the student an attitude that induces an approach to problem solving that follows a method which helps the student approach the problem in a fruitful manner. In PBL, the professor places the students into small groups with a faculty teacher/tutor. The role of the tutor is to facilitate the discussions but more significantly to bring the students back to a reflection upon their learning that took place in their small group. The role of the tutor is not to provide a direct source of information for the group. The latter point is important because normally students get into the case study and focus their minds on the what-ifs of the case. But what the real purpose of the PBL is learning larger lessons that happen in the small group process but are largely ignored in the process of focusing on the case problem. In the context of modern teaching technology, PBL can use the tools found in such software platforms as Blackboard that uses a discussion board. The professor can post the case material on the course web site, divide the class into groups of approximately six, set deadlines, and have the students discuss the case problem using the asynchronous discussion board forums. Finally, according to Lynch and Lynch, the advantages of the PBL teaching technique in the context of ethics education are important. Firstly, most students of ethics in public administration have a great deal of difficulty applying the concepts learned about ethics into practical situations they must face. What the PBL technique does is focus them on those connections and searching the theoretical for concepts applicable to the practical. Secondly, ethics tends to be uninteresting to many students easily because they simply cannot see how the topic might make a difference in their lives. PBL brings the subject alive and forces them to think in terms of complex theory. Thirdly, the need to confront various perspectives in considering ethical problems is critical. The PBL experience forces them to learn how to work with a difficult subject as a member of a group. Fourthly, group efforts require people to take on more than one role: leader, reporter, and discussant. The second presenter was Anne Byrd Garofalo, LMSW-ACP, a psychotherapist in private practice in Austin, Texas. …" @default.
