Normative Case Teaching through Role Playing and Blended Learning - Ethics, Emerging Technologies, and Public Policy

Project Leader: Prof James WONG
School: School of Humanities & Social Science
Department: Social Science (SOSC)
Project Start Year: 2021/22
Description:

This project aims to expand the case pedagogy to values and ethics education and examine its effectiveness in a newly developed undergraduate course on ethics, emerging technologies, and public policy. At HKUST, the case method is being used in teaching 'empirical' subjects in business, social science, and public policy. The potential of using the case pedagogy in 'normative' subjects, such as values and ethics education, remains an area awaiting exploration. The project will investigate how we can realize normative case teaching through role-playing activities and blended learning. Taught postgraduate students from PPOL5330 (Ethics and Public Policy) will be engaged as partners in designing and implementing the normative case pedagogy.
