Abstract

This contribution presents how the Ethical Matrix was used in teaching and evaluating a course on 'Ethics of Food and Nutrition Security' (EFNS) at Hohenheim University in the winter semester 2010/2011 and in the winter semester 2011/12. We will first provide some information on the development of the course and present the results of the general evaluation of the course by the department. We will then introduce the newly developed instrument in which the Ethical Matrix was embedded. The instrument aims at testing individual skills necessary for identifying ethical issues. Finally, we will draw some conclusions that refer to the further development of the instrument.
