Engaging students with concrete real life challenges

A more pragmatic strategy involves engaging students with tangible problems and challenges relevant to their fields of study. This approach allows for the seamless integration of ethical questions into the curriculum without necessitating an overt focus on ethics. For instance, students specializing in digital health and data science are naturally inclined towards ethical issues due to the nature of their work with sensitive medical data. Their intrinsic motivation to understand and navigate ethical dilemmas not only enhances their professional competence but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the ethical dimensions of their work.

In essence, cultivating an environment where ethics is embedded in the practical challenges students encounter may prove more conducive to developing their ethical acumen than traditional didactic methods.
