Abstract

The rapid advancements in educational technology (EdTech) have opened new avenues for enhancing learning experiences and outcomes. However, alongside these developments come significant ethical considerations that researchers must navigate. This paper delves into the ethical challenges faced in educational technology research, emphasizing the importance of upholding ethical standards to ensure the integrity and quality of research findings. Key issues addressed include the protection of participant privacy, the potential for bias in data collection and analysis, and the responsibility of researchers to ensure equitable access to technology. Additionally, the paper discusses the implications of ethical lapses on the validity and generalizability of research findings, highlighting the need for a thorough ethical review process. By examining these ethical concerns, the study aims to provide a framework for researchers to develop and maintain ethical practices within the field of educational technology.
