Human-Centric Business Ethics: Authentic Assessments for Solving Real-World Problems
by Dr Lucia P.S. FUNG
This presentation delves into the design of authentic assessments in business ethics education that calls for students to confront real-world ethical problems, encouraging the development of practical strategies that are informed by an awareness of human behaviors and considerations relevant to decision makers in business contexts.
The core of these assessments lies in tasks that simulate genuine ethical dilemmas, wherein students must navigate the intricacies of psychological impacts on human behavior and decision-making in actual practice. Additionally, students are expected to formulate action plans that anticipate the practical concerns of a business’s leadership team, ensuring that strategies are actionable and sensitive to organizational realities.
Such authentic assessments serve a dual purpose: they provide students with the crucial skills needed to bridge the gap between theory and business practice, and they instill a robust, human-centric approach to problem-solving. The speaker will discuss her experiences and challenges on crafting assessments that prepare students to address the ethical challenges of the business world in a manner that is both morally sound and practically viable.
