Question 2
Dr. Julian, a local university professor and researcher, went into a classroom as a visitor and observed children's behaviors during a science lesson. Dr. Julian did not talk with the children, but she observed their behaviors and collected data that she later published in a professional journal. The children were unaware that Dr. Julian was collecting and analyzing their behavior. Which of the following statements applies to this situation?
a. Dr. Julian should have gone through the Institutional Review Board process and obtained signed consent from a parent/guardian of each child.
b. As long as Dr. Julian maintains confidentiality and does not use the names of the children, there are no problems with her research methodology.
c. Dr. Julian did not need to obtain an informed consent from any of the parents/guardians because she is a university professor. She had been approved for the classroom visit.
d. Although Dr. Julian did not need the permission of the parents, she should have asked the children either verbally or in writing for their permission to participate in the research project.
