Wiki Version:
One of the core aims of the Open Science Initiative at the Faculty of Psychology (OSIP) is to ground the promotion of values and practices of Open Science in teaching. Therefore, we are embedding Open Science elements along the pathway from Bachelor over Master studies to postgraduate research training. In the Bachelor program, Open Science aspects are explicitly taught in the Methods of Psychology Module and trained in the Empirical Studies Module, where all students are required to preregister their research projects using OSF and AsPredicted templates. In the Master programs, dedicated course elements deal with, e.g., Good Scientific Practice, questionable research practices as well as the replicability crisis, and aid students in implementing Open Science practices including tutorials on how to preregister their master theses. In postgradual research training, the Integrated Research Training Group of the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 940 in cooperation with other projects is currently setting up an Open Science Module consisting of e-learning material complemented by three workshops of one to two days: A Good Scientific Practice workshop supports students to understand basic scientific values, to distinguish Good Scientific Practice from scientific misconduct, and to contact clearing processes in conflicts. In a second workshop on Open Science Practices, students learn about principles and practices of Open Science including preregistration, open access, data, materials and code as well as reproducible research. A third workshop is devoted to Research Data Management to facilitate scientific workflows with straightforward routines to assess, analyze, store and share data. This Open Science Module is currently in the pilot phase and will be evaluated, revised and finalized during 2021. Our experience is that our students are not only interested in Open Science issues, but also highly motivated to do the extra work that is sometimes required to do transparent and reproducible research.
