While introducing their own ethical decision making models Seigel (2000), Brocket and Hiemstra (2005) and Sork (2009) examine the role of these and other models in the adult education profession. Seigel (2000) looks to these these processes to address issues of "power, perspective and context" (p.45), whereas Brocket and Hiemstra (2005) like them for tackling ethical dilemmas. Sork (2009) agrees but also applies them to expose the ethical decision making arguments "used to justify or refute common practices" (p. 26).
Seigel (2000) adapts an earlier Brocket model into his Brocket/Siegel Model for Addressing Ethical Issues. This model is targeted towards adult educators and addresses perspective, context and application issues.
Brocket and Heimstra (2005) developed their own model for this called the Ethical Decision Making model which targets three decision considerations: values, obligations and consequences. They describe their model as a series of eight questions to help navigate an ethical challenge.
