How can you use a teaching tool on the experimental group while not using a teaching tool on the control group? Is that ethical in a research? If not, how would you have 2 groups using a teaching tool?|||If what you are testing is the effectiveness of the teaching tool then you would not use it on the control group. It's ethical in research if you tell participants before the start of the experiment and they agree to participate and sign a statement (both groups aware that one will have the tool and the other won't .) You would not lets say take a two seperate classes of children and give one class the teaching tool and not the other. That would be unethical because they wouldn't be aware that one group will be at a disadvantage in the experiment.
If you have both groups using the teaching tool, then that is not what you are testing. Remember when you are performing an experiment everything has to be equal in both groups except what you are testing.|||There would be no ethical problem if it has not been determined which of the teaching tools is better.
