This study aimed to identify the facilitating and inhibiting factors of students' tendency towards ethics. A qualitative approach with a descriptive phenomenological method was employed. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with 98 Iranian faculty members, university administrators, experts, staff, and students who were selected through criterion sampling. The findings suggest that there are eight facilitating factors such as “structural, functional, social, cultural, personal, religious, study-research-driven, and educational" factors, and there are also nine hindering factors (obstacles) such as “structural, social, performance-related, political, personal, functional, conceptual, informative-cognitive, and cultural” factors. Drawing upon the understanding of a wide range of academic activists, this study identifies new and more complete dimensions and components of the factors concerning the tendency or non-tendency of students towards ethics in the university environment. It is recommended to use these results to develop academic ethics in higher education more efficiently.

Context:

 Ethics is important in higher education, especially in medical universities. Educational commitment is an essential part of ethics in higher education, which has received less attention. This study aimed to evaluate the educational commitment in universities of Iran and compare it with top global universities with an emphasis on medical universities.

 This qualitative study has used a comparative study by George Brady's model. The population consisted of the top 100 global universities and 539 Iranian universities regarding educational commitment based on related documents, which were selected by a complete enumeration sampling method.

 The educational commitment led to better educational efficiency in universities with an emphasis on medical universities. Therefore, eight main parts were proposed to formulate and promote the educational commitment in universities with an emphasis on medical universities.

 According to the results, educational commitment in universities with an emphasis on medical universities led to better educational efficiency but was not considered properly by the Iranian universities, unlike the top global universities. Iranian medical universities were in better condition. Furthermore, the universities with an educational commitment did not have a specific unity in expressing their content. Therefore, the present study is necessary, which requires special attention from relevant managers.

This research aims to benchmark (national and international) experiences in the field of professional ethics documents at universities and provides solutions to improve it. The study population consisted of 100 top universities in the world (based on the Shanghai ranking) and 539 universities in Iran. Of these, 59 universities in Iran and 100 universities abroad have professional ethics documents. Therefore, the sampling method of this study is complete. This research is qualitative and has benefited from the methods of documentary, library studies, benchmarking and best practice. The research findings show that at present, at universities of Iran and even the worldchr('39')s top universities, more attention is paid to ethical commitment. The code of ethics has been neglected. Indeed, universities that have professional ethics documents do not have integrity in their content. On the other hand, the findings indicate that the comprehensive ethics document at universities has created a unified approach to implementing ethics in universities, which leads to better and more effective management and interaction and, in general, a better implementation of professional ethics at the university. Therefore, it is necessary that the chief and manager of the university pay more attention to the development of a comprehensive ethics document for universities. Finally, based on the study of theoretical foundations, the history of research and benchmarking and best practice has been prepared some ways to develop and improve the professional ethics documents at universities.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the emphasis on the educational ethics at the engineering universities of Iran and comparing with top engineering universities of the world. The research community consists of 100 top world engineering universities (based on THE World university ranking) and 127 engineering universities of Iran. Also, the sampling method of this study is taken to be complete. The research methodology in this study includes documentary and library studies that using benchmarking and best practice. Findings of the research indicate that engineering universities of Iran are not at an acceptable level in educational ethics (ethical documentation). They should consider the ethical programs of top engineering universities of the world and, ultimately, localization should be taken in this regard. Finally, based on the findings of present research, some strategies for creating a comprehensive ethical document for the engineering universities of Iran is suggested, which is the bases to promote ethics in the universities.

Today, in the field of Medical Science, ethics, especially education ethics, is of great importance in the face of human life. This research aimed to conduct a comparative study of the ethical components of education in the medical universities of Iran and the world (universities in America, Europe, Asia, and Australia) and provide solutions to improve it.
The research method consisted of a documentary, library, and comparative study using benchmarking and best practice. The statistical population of this study was 110 universities which were the world’s top medical universities (based on Shanghai rankings) and 65 universities of medical sciences in Iran that were selected using a whole sampling method. Data analysis was done using qualitative and descriptive statistics.
The findings of the research showed that there was currently no specific unity in the formulation of the content of educational ethics documents in the medical universities. The results also indicated that Iran and even Asia had provided less attention to education ethics than the top medical universities of the world.
Since education ethics and ethics document are associated with the success of the world’s top medical universities, it is important that the medical universities in Iran pay more attention to this. In this regard, the identified strategies resulting from benchmarking and best practice of the medical universities in this field can be taken advantage of.
