摘要:MIS ethics education has two parts: 1) teaching the rules and 2) evoking ethical behavior. Such behavior acquisition is arguably the more difficult of the two. Skinner’s behavioral reinforcement and Bandura’s social learning can both strongly influence behavior acquisition, so they are incorporated into an MIS senior capstone course. MIS majors at UW-Eau Claire work in supervised teams to develop information systems for non-profit clients in the community. Clients model ethical behavior and raise ethics issues, and student efforts are publicly recognized by campus and community leaders. In the face of their obvious impact on community life and the tremendous gratitude of clients, students awaken from a state of anomie to a sense of involvement with the community that evokes ethical behavior. They experience the positive influence they can have when conducting themselves appropriately. Indications are that this experience facilitates student commitment to ethical behavior.
