Ethical Considerations in the Application of Behaviour Analysis (MALKA218)

Be admitted to a master's/postgraduate programme in the field of behavioural science.

International exchange students select courses when applying for exchange.

The application deadline is 15 April.

The science of applied behavior analysis (ABA) provides its practitioners with powerful tools for promoting behavior change. Applying behavior analytic methods and procedures in the service of individuals with special needs requires ethically conscious, well-informed practitioners - service providers, care providers, and teachers - who are able to systematically weigh their decisions about arranging conditions and specific interventions in ways that benefit the individual in need of care or assistance, and that meet the standards for high quality of life. 

This course is designed to promote knowledge of normative ethical theories and of regulations and guidelines with relevance to responsible and ethical practices, and to encourage reflection and discussion on matters of ethics, including matters of social validity.

The exam is an individual home examination.

Grading scale: A-F.

There is no semester fee for exchange students.
