Academic cheating is a pervasive issue in tertiary education, with implications for the competency of university graduates and their future ethical workplace behavior. Past research indicates that understanding academic cheating according to its different levels of severity allows for a more nuanced understanding of its aetiological factors, and…

Academic dishonesty remains a persistent concern for educational institutions, threatening the reputation of universities. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools exacerbates this challenge as they can be used for chatting but also for cheating. Several scientific papers have analyzed the advantages and risks of using AI tools like…

Concerns over students engaging in various forms of academic misconduct persist, especially with the post-COVID-19 rise in online learning and assessment. Research has demonstrated a clear role of the personality trait psychopathy in cheating, yet little is known about why this relationship exists. Building on the research by Curtis et al.…

The study employs a sequential explanatory mixed-method design and aims to understand contract cheating behavior by conducting a survey of 1,081 undergraduate students in Indonesia and following up with five respondents to explore those results in more depth. In the first quantitative phase, we collected a variety of information from…

Student self-assessment research underscores the significance of honestly recognizing strengths and weaknesses, facilitating self-regulated learning and progress. The Integrated Quality Assessment (IQA) in China combines self-assessment with other data to evaluate achievement, serving dual purposes: promoting students' awareness of their strengths…

Moral and self-conscious emotions like guilt and shame can function as internal negative experiences that punish or deter bad behaviour.

Being disposed to experience guilt and/or shame may predict students' expectations of their emotional reactions to engaging in…

No solution can ultimately eliminate cheating in online courses. However, universities reserve funding for authentication systems to minimize the threat of cheating in online courses. Most higher education institutions use a combination of authentication methods to secure systems against impersonation attacks during online examinations.…

Examination dishonesty is a global problem that became particularly critical after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to remote learning. Academic research has often examined this phenomenon as only one aspect of a broader concept of academic dishonesty and as a one-dimensional construct. This article builds on existing knowledge…

Detecting and punishing violations of research integrity requires first having to prove them. However, establishing proof of research misconduct presents a number of challenges. Firstly, it has to be conducted in a variety of contexts, including before research integrity officers, university disciplinary committees, civil courts, criminal courts,…

Past studies of academic dishonesty typically have been grounded in the theory of planned behaviour. Key predictors of academic dishonesty variables under this framework generally have been attitudes towards academic dishonesty, the impact of peer pressure to engage in such acts, and individual perceptions of related acts. However, planned…

This study examined the determinant factors of examination malpractice intentions (EMI) among pre-service deaf students in a Nigerian teacher training college. Four (4) research questions were raised and answered in the study. Data were collected from 265 pre-service deaf teachers using a closed-ended questionnaire. Data generated were analysed…

Peer reporting, defined as a lateral control effort by reporting witnessed academic dishonesty, is one method used to foster academic integrity. However, most students refrain from reporting. This study portrays the process of peer reporting intention based on an ethical decision-making perspective in two types of academic dishonesty (exam…

This paper considers characteristic views advanced in the past fifteen years that may be considered relatively sympathetic to student practices of cheating on graded assignments or exams. We detect and analyze typical fallacies that are recurrent in articles that promote a revisionist view of cheating as morally permissible. We offer a general,…

This study investigates how hope moderates the relationship between students' sense of belonging and their academic misconduct intentions and behaviours. A sample of 234 university students (57% female) aged between 16 and 64 (M[subscript age] = 25.56, SD[subscript age] = 8.18) responded to an online survey. The survey included demographic…

Academic dishonesty among college students has been an enduring issue within higher education. While prior research has explored this issue, the recent global pandemic has shifted collegiate demographics dramatically, particularly within online courses. As a result, previous findings may prove less applicable, warranting new research into student…
