Regulations and Ethical Considerations for Astronomy Education Research III: A Suggested Code of Ethics

Erik Brogt, Tom Foster, Erin Dokter, Sanlyn Buxner, Jessie Antonellis

Abstract

We present an argument for, and suggested implementation of, a code of ethics for the astronomy education research community. This code of ethics is based on legal and ethical considerations set forth by U.S. federal regulations and the existing code of conduct of the American Educational Research Association. We also provide a fictitious research study as an example for working through the suggested code of ethics.
