They rarely have a purely right or wrong answer. Not everyone will have the same answer to an ethical dilemma. Hence, teaching ethics is about helping students build critical thinking skills so that they can consider contradictory viewpoints to come out with the best course of action in the face of conflicting choices. Post pandemic, online teaching is now a norm.  \nThis study aims to explore the effectiveness of online debate in teaching ethics.  \nUsing Kialo Edu’s free argument mapping and debate web tools in a synchronous online workshop, we conducted an undergraduate Ethics and Laboratory Safety module, where the students engaged in collaborative and real-time debates on an ethical statement. Feedback was collected through an anonymous online survey to evaluate the impact on student learning. The results showed a positive impact on their learning experience. This study highlights the potential of online synchronous debate in promoting active student participation and critical thinking in ethical dilemmas.  \nKeywords: online learning, ethics, online debate, critical thinking, Kialo  \nIntroduction  \nEthics can be interpreted as the discipline of dealing with good and bad with commitment and moral duty. Ethics impacts the behavior and permit an individual to make the right options. The significance of ethics cannot be disregard in any level of life. Thus, ethics plays a very important role in the education of students, and learning ethics is often an important component in any undergraduate curriculum. For example, the American Chemical Society Committee on Professional Training recommends that instruction in professional ethics be part of the undergraduate chemistry curriculum (The American Chemical Society, 2016), while the degree programmes accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry require ethics to be touched on in undergraduate chemistry courses under transferrable skills (The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023).  \nHowever, ethical dilemmas are complex and multifaceted issues that require a deep understanding of various viewpoints, values, beliefs, and attitudes. They rarely have a straightforward answer, and individuals may have differing opinions on how to approach a particular ethical issue. Thus, the motive of ethics education is not directly learning ethics for its purpose.

The first motive is to grow intellectual dimensions that will authorize students to recognize ethical dimensions of issues and address the ethical issues. The second purpose of ethics education is important to develop critical thinking skills that enable them to analyse and evaluate multiple perspectives, consider contradictory viewpoints, and make sound decisions in the face of conflicting choices.  \nIn this regard, debate has been shown to be an effective method to teach ethics (Hawkins, Fulford, & Phan, 2019). A debate can be defined as a thoughtful and reasoned presentation of opposing persuasive arguments. These arguments can be presented in situations such as a competition, a classroom, or a legislative group attempting to make decisions (Wasilewsky, 2023) . Recently, the global pandemic has significantly changed the landscape of education, leading to the widespread adoption of online teaching as a norm. Hence, online debate may be a promising pedagogical tool in current times of ethics education.  \nThis study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using online synchronous debate as a tool for ethics education","cbCailu0PRQxyIgX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailu0PRQxyIgX","pdf",304356,12,"English","# Introduction\n# Literature Review\n## Debate as an Instructional Tool","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of teaching ethics described in the document?\",\"answer\":\"Teaching ethics is aimed at helping students develop critical thinking and the ability to analyze multiple perspectives so they can make sound decisions in conflicting situations.\"},{\"question\":\"How was online synchronous debate implemented in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study used Kialo Edu’s free argument mapping and debate tools in a synchronous online workshop, where students debated an ethical statement collaboratively and in real time.\"},{\"question\":\"What tools and data collection method were used to evaluate learning impact?\",\"answer\":\"Kialo Edu was used for argument mapping and debate, and an anonymous online survey collected feedback to evaluate the impact on student learning.\"}]","Exploring the Efficacy of Online Synchronous Debate asa Tool for Teaching Ethics | PDF",1792077058]
