Obtaining informed consent Sample Clauses

Obtaining informed consent. In addition to the problems encountered gaining access to Hoshūkō, I also encountered problems obtaining informed consent. In order to make my research ethical, I was required to obtain informed consent from the participants. This was particularly problematic because Hoshūkō is a cross-cultural context as Xxxxxxx (1984, p 147) states, ‘[t]he need for informed consent may present fieldworkers with acute difficulties in relation to cross-cultural contexts […]’. The first problem I encountered was that the head teacher was reluctant to sign the consent form. The reason for this unwillingness to sign a piece of paper could have been because in Japan a written signature is not commonly used for official documents as it is in Britain; it is customary to use a 63 I originally intended to observe a Year 3 middle school class, the oldest students at Hoshūkō, with students aged 14 to 15. stamp (xxxxx). In addition, the head teacher seemed to think that giving his word for me to conduct my research at Hoshūkō was enough and that a signature was unnecessary. A further problem was that the deputy head would not consent to me talking to the class teacher to explain my research intentions. He felt that it was his role rather than mine to speak to the teacher and to ask her for permission to observe the class, so he forwarded the information to her. The final problem was that I could not arrange a meeting after class with the young people and their parents in order to inform them about my research intentions and to obtain informed consent because the deputy head had several concerns about this. He thought that if the information was given out in class the parents might feel that the research was connected to the school in some way or they might complain to him if they disagreed with the observations (field notes, 30.01.2010). In other words, the deputy head teacher would seem to be worried that the research could damage the image of the school (Gobo, 2008, p. 122). In addition, the head teacher felt that he was the authority at Hoshūkō and not the parents so it was not necessary to ask for their permission. The dilemma I was faced with was should I arrogantly plough ahead with my ethical research agenda by imposing contemporary UK academia’s notion of ethics on Hoshūkō or should I conduct the research according to the head teacher’s terms. This dilemma highlighted the difficulty of resolving the clash in the UK between the (ethical) rule which is too general and the (rese...
