Ethical Practice in Research
1. We shall use research designs and analyses in an appropriate manner by providing a clear
rationale for each. We shall provide enough information about the methodologies we use so that
others can replicate the work.
2. We shall maintain records of research securely; no personal information about research
participants should be revealed unless required by law.
3. We shall conduct on-going research and field work that is consistent with and builds upon the
available cadre of evidence based practices.
4. We shall utilize collaborative and interdisciplinary research for strengthening linkages between the research and practice communities, as well as for improving the quality of life of children with disabilities and their families.
I believe that we as early childhood professionals should have to be sworn in like police officers (..ok maybe not that serious. Lol!)However, we should vow that we will stay committed to staying current on research in the field as well as stay committed to collaborating with other professionals as an attempt to provide children and families with adequate resources to improve their quality of life.
