- W258941862 abstract "INTRODUCTION Cheating on campus is more prevalent today than ever and academic dishonesty seems to be more rampant in business programs as compared to non-business programs (Mangan 2006). Previous studies have tried to adopt either a traits approach or a context approach to understand the incidences of violations of academic honor codes (McCabe and Trevino, 1997). The studies adopting traits approach attempt to discover the individual characteristics that may make someone more prone to cheating. While, the context approach focuses on identifying the situational factors that are responsible for academic cheating. Previous studies have also noted that the students and the faculty across various campuses seem to differ on the definition of the term academic integrity (Kidwell et al, 2003; Stern and Havlicek, 1986). Moreover, there seemed to be differences even among the perspectives of full time and part-time faculty (Hudd et al., 2009). In an attempt to better understand the phenomenon of academic dishonesty, we distributed a survey to 250 undergraduate students located in a North Eastern University and asked them a variety of open-ended questions relating to various topics of academic integrity. For example, we asked them questions regarding what they perceived the academic integrity policy to be on campus, what their role was in following the rules, whether cheating was prevalent in their classes, their recommendations for improvement as well as some other relevant questions. We then conducted a content analysis on the data. Two researchers independently went through the entire data and identified a set of themes that emerged out of this first round of reading. Next, the researchers compared their list of themes and created a combined set of themes. Later, we went over the data again and distributed the various responses across the identified themes. We compared these classifications and if any discrepancy was found in our classification then it was sorted out through mutual discussion. Various themes that emerged from this qualitative data analysis with regards to students' feelings about academic integrity on campus are listed in the Table 1. POLICY UNDERSTANDING * Are students familiar with the policy and do they understand the definition of academic integrity? * How do students become familiar with the policy? * What is considered to be cheating? * How do students feel about the policy? From the data, it appears that the large majority of students were familiar with the University's academic integrity policy. Most of them became familiar with the policy at (1) orientation, (2) the first day of class, and/or (3) read about it in their syllabus. Many students stated that each semester, the instructor went over the policy, some more briefly, he spent a minute or two on the first day of (Male, 18 years old) and others more elaborately, almost the whole first half of class was devoted to going over it. (Male, 19 years old). What was particularly interesting in the data was that though students were familiar with the policy, there appeared to be an overwhelming ambiguity as to the definition of cheating. As mentioned ahead the prior research has demonstrated the differences of meaning of cheating between the faculty and students (Kidwell et al., 2003). In the present study we discovered that even among students there is a huge variance in their interpretations of what constitutes as academic cheating. E.g. most students agreed that it was wrong to cheat on a test, whether it was copying from a friend or making cheat sheets. At the same time, they found certain topics to be questionable as to whether or not they were considered to be actual cheating. A number of students wondered if discussing homework answers with a fellow classmate, or studying from a previous semesters test (Female, 18) were considered to be cheating! Others noted that in group-assignments, if a student doesn't do his/her share then it should be considered a form of cheating as well. …" @default.
