Abstract:
This research was carried out to determine about the preferences and point of view of
teacher candidates ethical approaches related to animal experiment. Obesity disease,
cancer disease, cosmetics industry, product tests created the sub subjects of scenarios
with dilemmas. The research was carried out in 2015-2016 academic year with 322
teacher candidates. As a data collection tool,
‛ioethical Value Inventory
and
Demographic Information Form developed by the researcher were used. Preferences
of teacher candidates on scenarios are examined by using research variables such as,
family education level, grade level and family income level. As a result of analysis of
the research, it was determined that general decisions and ethical preferences of teacher
candidates can show differences according to class grade, family education levels and
income levels. It became clear that only product tests themed scenarios did not show
any difference.
Keywords: ethical approach, ethical dilemmas, experiment animals, teacher candidates
1. Introduction
The development of science and increase on community needs created the necessity for
scientists to benefit from living organisms. Researching effects of data gathered from
experiments performed on In vitro environments on animals gained importance.
Animal experiments and experimental animals concept has appeared. Animals that are
used on research and scientific experiments through the light of scientific rules are
named as experiment animals (Altug, 2009). Many animals are used in research every
year worldwide (Flosos, 2005). Usage of animals on scientific experiments started on

years B.C. 400. In order to determine the anatomic structure, human beings used
animals on experiments (Altug, 2009). Modern animal experiments took place on 17th
century with the leading role of England (Olsson, Robinson, Pritchett & et al., 2003; 13. ‚s a results of animals being used on experiments, many improvements took
place. On 1877, Robert Koch found out that Bacillus anthracis caused an illness and it is
contagious for other animals from the honeycomb. (Grieder, Strandberg, in Hau, Van
Hoosier & et al., 2003; 1-13). Animal usage on the improvement of many studies like
improvement of surgical methods, pharmatology, pathology, skin implentation,
determining anatomical and physiological structures and develop a vaccine. Animal
experiments developed until today and it contributed to science with many science
people s researches Ergun,
.
From the starting point till today, some opposing ideas about animals used on
experiments were also emerged. From the first times that animal experiments started to
become common until these days, scientists supported that animal experiments are an
effective method; individuals against animal experiments believed that experiments are
useless and complained about animals being tortured for nothing. On ongoing
controversies, Descartes was a leading figure and he supported that animals did not
suffer (Cobanoglu, 2009). According to Descartes Sounds and screams of the animal
during its being cut while living doesn’t mean something more than an alarm clock’s gongs
(Ferry, 2000). This view of Descartes did not have so many supporters. But, the value of
animals during experiments can t be ignored Rollin, Gluck, Dipasquale & Orlans,
2002). On the book The principles of Humane Experimental Technique , which is
published at 1959 by Jeremy and Betham has got very important suggestions for animal
experiments (Altug, 2009). In the book there are some suggestions about 3R (Reduction,
Refinement, Replacement) about animal experiments (Ghasemi & Dephour, 2009).
Reduction is described as achieving the best result by minimizing the experiment
animals number ‚ltug,
Kolar,
. Refinement can be expressed as having the
precautions for aniamls to have the minimum harm during the time that animal usage
on experiments will come to an end ‚ltuğ,
Erg(n,
. ‚lso, replacement is
explained as using alternative methods instead of using animals on experiments (Altug,
2009).
Under the light of these arguments, ethical dimension of animal usage for
experiments emerged. At Europe; England, Italy, Switzerland, France, Norway,
Denmark, Greece had some legal regulations on their history. At Turkey, according to
European Union s /
/EEC numbered council directive that published for saving
animals used for experiments and other scientific studies, Saving experiment animals
used for experimental and other scientific purposes, production places of experiment animals and
establishment, working, supervision, procedures and principles of laboratories for experiments
published by Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (The Ministry of Food,

Agriculture and Livestock –MFAL) was the first legal study for this area (Yasar &
Izmirli, 2006). The basis of laws and regulations is formed by ethical principles.
Ethics, which is also described as science of morals and manners, is expressed as
limits of actions that can be performed on science related with human beings and
animals lives and rules group that shows and limit the direction before behavior T.R.
Ministry of Environment & Forest, 2006).
According to Karaturk (2002), Aydin (2003), Apay (2009), ethics is a series of
rules, principles and a series of behavior and moral principles that are approved by
community. ‚ccording to Piper
, ethics is a compass. Compass doesn’t take an
individual to the destination; it only shows North, under the light of this information, individual
should decide which way to go according to his/her location Keskin, Keskin Samanci &
Kurt, 2013). Every human being has got a belief and value system, affected from the
community s cultural values Keskin & et al.,
. While deciding about an action in
such a value system can encounter a choice problem. ‚n individual s encountering a
choice problem on conditions that were not limited with definite rules is named as
ethical dilemma Yıldırım & Kadıoglu,
. Ethical dilemmas can also be expressed as
situations that there is no only one correct answer and does not include definite rules on
conclusion process (Elcigil & et al., 2011). Deciding correctly, which is one of the aims of
ethics, and during this process, having the values about the subject is an important
strategy for the decider that goes through ethical dilemma. The individual should
internalize the ethical deciding process. She has got ethical sensitiveness and questions
himself/herself actively (Pope & Vasquez,
. Educators support that values that
learner s gain during the process of conclusion for the problems which encountered on
a young age is a preparation for their ethical dilemmas (Wever & Evans, 1996).
Scientific and technological improvements had an important impact on children s
deciding process on subjects about their future and knowing how to establish the
balance of risk and benefit (Macer, 2008, 4). With the improvement of science and
technology, one of the roles of science program is to educate individuals about science
literacy and preparing them for their future roles (Dawson & Schibeci, 2003). For this
reason, ethic on education, goals, values and process of education has got the vital
value to be dealt with. It is agreed that basic aim of bioethics education is to teach
learners the ability of morally reasoning and legitimating himself /herself. Bioethics
education; up skills learners about determining, describing and talent of coming up
with conclusions about important ethical subjects, vital for biotype and makes them
gain the ability of using suitable ethical principles on special occasions.
From a different point of view, biotype education enables individuals to
comprehend value problems that are because of biological sciences and to improve their
skills on deciding upon the ethical theories and its values (Macer, Asada, Tsuzuki,
Akiyama & Macer, 1996; Reich, 1995). During bioethics education, subjects are based on
establishing the scientific basis for arguing about related with problematic subjects and
European Journal of Education Studies - Volume 3 │ Issue 2 │ 2017

improving individual s decision process, rather than having a correct decision. ‛ecause,
educated individuals need discussion skills that they improved during the arguments
they had with their peers, apart from the scientific basic that is needed for applying
their point of view and using their own scientific information for evaluating personal
and communal subjects (Sadler & Donnelly, 2006).
When body of literature about the subject is investigated, it can be seen that Paul
& Podberscek (2000) and Allen (2005) researched about the attitudes towards animals
and they revealed the changes on them. Karakaya and Arslan (2016) researched the
ethical approaches about middle school 9th grade learners using animals on
experiments. They found out that according various variables, ethical preferences
changes. Kurt (2011) developed a value questionnaire, which includes also ethical
approaches about animals being used on experiments and morality problems that occur
because of biological sciences. Koc, Altuncul and Filoglu (2014) studied on attitudes of
vets and learners at veterinarian faculty as well as officials in Turkey and concluded
that different variables having an effect on attitudes against human rights. ‚ltan,
Rahman and Cam (2013) had a research on Celal Bayar University medical faculty
learners level of ethical information and their attitude towards the subject and he
specified the ethically problematical subjects for medical world. Yigit, Caglar-Sinmez
and Aslim (2015) observed differences about ethical decision on animal usage during
experiments with their study performed on officials that has got the right to use
experiment animals in Turkey. Also, Ulman (2010) mentioned the importance of the
relationship between concepts of bioethics, health and law. Through their researches,
Bowd and Boylan (1986), Gallup and Beckstead (1988) mentioned that using animals
would be beneficial for biomedical studies. Ozyer and Azizoglu (2010) searched for
demographic variables on ethical attitudes and discovered meaningful differences on
various variables. On researches held on ethical education, it was mentioned that ethical
education should be active during learning-teaching process (Keskin Samanci, 2009;
Ersoy, 1996; Macer, 2008: 4; Watson, 2005). On this frame, educators and educational
institutions has got a major role on the creation of moral and value concepts and their
shaping (Haynes, 2002, 17). According to Ersoy (1996), bioethical education is not
related with the aims of ethics and he mentioned that both learners and instructors do
not take responsibility about ethical education. Oztaş, Yel and Oztaş
observed
biology education s effect on the creation of ethical values against other living beings
and environment and he supported the idea that basic biology education for learners
should be regulated as it will address the world needs. When each member completes
his/her duties, s/he helps the improvement of his/her community s dynamics Dogan,
2002, 146). Teachers and teacher candidates that will have a leading role on responsible
individuals should internalize this situation. ‛ecause of this, teachers and teacher
candidates deciding process during ethical dilemmas and the determination of values

that affect this process is very significant. Because what affects the decision is the
personal values of individual.
It is very significant to determine the ethical approaches of teachers and teacher
candidates, who have got a significant place for the improvement of science people.
That is because teachers are models for learners. Yet, it is seen that there is no study on
teachers and teacher candidates.
1.1 The aim of the research
The aim of this research is to determine about the approaches and point of view of
teacher candidates ethical point of view about animal usage on experiments. Based on
this general aim, answer for the following questions have been sought:
What are the ethical approaches of teacher candidates about the usage of animals
on the experiments related with obesity disease, cancer disease, cosmetic
industry, improvement of new product test base on the grade levels?
What are the ethical approaches of teacher candidates about the usage of
animals on the experiments related with obesity disease, cancer disease, cosmetic
industry, improvement of new product test base on the family income levels?
What are the ethical approaches of teacher candidates about the usage of
animals on the experiments related with obesity disease, cancer disease, cosmetic
industry, improvement of new product test base on the family education levels?
2. Methodology of Research
2.1. Model of research
As the current study aimed to determine the ethical approaches of teacher candidates
related to animal experiments in terms of various variables relation to different
variables, it employed scanning design. Scanning Design is to describe the
environment s attitude, tendency or opinions through the analysis on samples that are
chosen from the environment of the research (Bursal, 2014, 155).
2.2. The research group
The research group is composed of 322 teacher candidates at the Faculty of Education,
Kahramanmaraş S(tç( Imam University. The research was implemented during 20152016 fall period. Demographic characteristics of teacher candidates is given in Table 1.

2.3. Data Collection Tool
For the evaluation of scenarios in terms of ethical dilemmas, ‛ioethical Value
Questionnaire , prepared by Keskin Samanci (2009) was used. This questionnaire also
shows ethical principles that are also held for answers to scenarios with ethical
dilemmas. Bioethical Values Inventory including scenarios located in the center of
ethical issues, such as obesity disease, cancer disease, cosmetics industry, product tests
used as an assessment instrument. When individuals encounter with ethical dilemmas,
they put basic ethical approaches that are related with ethical values such as law,
religion, rights, pragmatics and condition forward (Keskin et al, 2013).
Ethical approaches held during the process of making decisions for scenarios
talking about animal usage on experiments are described below:
Pragmatically Approach: On ethical decision process, it is important for the
individual to have maximum benefit by evaluating benefit or harm conditions for
finding out about the good .
Right ‚pproach During making decision process, individual considers rights .
S/he gives importance to make a decision with free will.
Law Approach: On ethical decision process, researcher gives importance to make
both sides totally equal.
Virtue (Value) Approach: On ethical decision process, actions or situations that
are considered to contribute human improvement are analyzed through values such as
honesty, courage, tolerance.
Conditional Approach: According to this approach, individual aims to create
necessary conditions as the basis. After providing the conditions, it is decided if the
situation or action is suitable to ethics or not.

Religion ‛ased Theological ‚pproach It is individual s regulating his/her
relations and actions through religious principles, rules and values and considering
these principles while making decisions.
Preferring the Natural: During making decision process, individual believes that
natural is better, there should be a limitation on human effect on nature and natural
balance should not be broken. Natural prefer ethical approach: In action, it is the ethical
nature of the approach to the fore.
Scientific ‛ased ‚pproach It is individual s considering scientific improvement
on finding out about what is good while deciding on ethical problems on natural and
communal level.
Belief about human beings are superior than other living beings: According to
this approach, which is also known as anthropocentric approach, during the decision
process, the idea that human beings are superior than other living beings and other
beings are served for human beings benefit.
2.4. Data Analysis
The analysis of the obtained data, descriptive statistics were used in the process. SPSS
was used to analyze the obtained data. Frequency and percentage values were
determined.
3. Results of Research
Answers that teacher candidates provide to scenarios and ethical distribution of these
answers were analyzed separately according to each scenario. 1st scenario with obesity
disease subject is hosted below, differentiating answers from instructors according to
grade level is demonstrated on Table 2, different answers according to family income
level is on Table 3 and changing answers according to family education level is on Table
4.
Currently, obesity became a very common illness. During last years, some experimental
studies has been performed for the cure of this illness. It is seen that these research is
performed on mice. If you are scientist with a leading role on such a study, would you use
mice? Why?

Second Scenario about Cancer disease and Occupational Ethics is hosted below
and how the answers of teacher candidates about this scenario changes according to
grade level is shown at Table 5; according to family income level is on Table 6 and
changes on answers according to family education level is mentioned on Table 7.
Vet Mr. Sadik got an offer from one hospital on his district about working for a project
on cancer treatment with a high salary after his retirement. During such research, Mr.
Sadik knew that animals were used and some animals lost their lives on some conditions.
Mr. Sadik, who worked for saving animal lives for long years, had some hard time while
having a decision on this offer. If it was you, how would you answer? Why?

When Owner of a Cosmetic Company, Mr. “li comes home, he says that they produced
a long lasting perfume. His wife, who got excited with the news, asks how they found this
perfume and if it has got side effects. Mr. Ali says, it is created with many experiments
on animals and he mentions that these experiments proved it has no side effects. If you
are an owner of such a company, would you use animals for your experiments? Why?

4. Discussion
On this research, how do the ideas on animal usage of 322 teacher candidates about
obesity illness, cancer treatment and occupational ethics, animal experiments on
cosmetics industry, test process and product creation according to class level, income
level and family education level. It is found that ethical approaches of teacher
candidates that attended to this research show differences according to scenarios with
ethical dilemmas, when the subject change.
On subjects of obesity disease, cancer disease and occupational ethics, cosmetic
industry; first grade teacher candidates preferred selections that indicate conditional
approach. Second grade teacher candidates (35%) prefers selections of science oriented
approach about obesity, conditional approach about cancer treatment and occupational
ethics (25.2%), virtue approach about cosmetics industry (25%). Third grade teacher
candidates prefer science oriented approach on obesity illness (31%) and cancer
treatment and occupational ethics (18.1%). Also, they choose virtue approach for
cosmetic industry (25%). This data differs according to the class level. Conner (2000) on
his study about high school students ethical differences, observed that as a result of
applications in class, learners point of view show differences. When class level
increases, it is observed that teacher candidates opinions on many different subjects
improve and it can be said that this situation has an influence on their ethical decisions.

Ferhat Karakaya, Sakine Serap Avgin
TEACHER C‚NDID‚TES ETHIC‚L ‚PPRO‚CHES RELATED TO ANIMAL EXPERIMENT
According to income level, low income teacher candidates (31.7%) prefer
selections of science oriented approach on obesity illness, conditional approach on
cancer treatment and occupational ethics (24.6%) and virtue approach on cosmetic
industry (24.6%).High income teacher candidates prefer selections of justice approach
on obesity illness (28.3%), science oriented approach on cancer treatment and
occupational ethics (21.7%), conditional approach on cosmetic industry (23.9%). Pifer
and et al. (1994); Hagelin and et al. (2000) mentioned on their research that using
animals on experiments is related with urbanization and they supported the
differentiation of ethical decisions on low, mid and high socio economical level.
‚llen
s research showed that people living in big cities are more positive
about animal rights. Paul and Podberscek (2000) mentioned that cultural differences
between regions change personal attitudes towards animal rights. About the subject of
obesity illness; graduate family education level teacher candidates (35.1%) prefer
justice, candidate teachers with other family education levels prefer selections of science
oriented approach. About cancer treatment and occupational ethics; middle school
family education level teacher candidates (24.6%) prefer science oriented approach;
candidate teachers with other family education levels prefer selections of conditional
approach. About cosmetic industry, graduate family education level teacher candidates
(33.8%) and primary family education level teacher candidates (26.4%) prefer virtue
approach, high school family education level candidate teachers prefer pragmatic
approach and middle school family education level teacher candidates (26.1%) prefer
selections of conditional approach. Koc and et al. (2014) on their study, mentioned that
increase on education level leads to a positive attitude towards animals. Ozer and
Azizoglu (2010) showed that there is a positive effect on ethical decision scores related
with an increase on family education level. As a result of his study; Miller (2001)
mentioned that supporters of animal rights are mostly university graduate.
According to these results, it can be said that family education level creates a
difference on ethical decisions. On the other hand, difference on the subject creates an
influence on teacher candidate decisions. ‚bout product tests, teacher candidates class
level, income level and family education level do not create a difference on their ethical
decisions. They prefer selections of justice approach.
5. Conclusions
Although scientists are independent on their research, they are obliged to analyze the
effects of information to environment and community; and we have some sharing about
results that can occur (Aydogdu & Cobanoglu, 2009). Responsibilities of scientists are
increasing. ‚nimals are used ın various researches, mainly on medicine. When main
aims of science education are considered, rather than making learners gather scientific
information, raising individuals who questions science and gains scientific process

skills, with scientific literacy is significant. Individuals that are educated with this
understanding will be gained a critical point of view. While improving scientifically,
one of the points that shouldn t be forgotten is the subject of ethics. Because, ethics does
not only consider individual behaviors to each other, but also include their relationship
with environment. On these days, ethical education is vital while students deciding
about improvements on science and their applications. Education institutions have got
very important roles about educating individuals with ethical values. If ethical subjects
were taught from primary school, there would be a decrease on not only health
problems but also crime level of the community (Wekesser, 1995; Benson, 1982).
Because of these reasons, in order individuals with ethical sensitivity to be raised,
teacher candidates and teachers should adopt ethical principles.
As a result, it is seen that approaches that teacher candidates prefer during
making ethical decisions on animal usage on experiments process show difference
according to grade level, family income level and family education level. Also, having
different subjects with ethical dilemmas have got influence on decisions.
