6. College Cheating: A Twenty-Year Follow-
Up and the
Addition of an
Honor Code
• Cheating evolution
• 1984
54%
• 1994
61%
• 2004
57%
• Honor code: cheaters and noncheaters: similar effect
• “I don´t want to cheat, but it is the only way to compete in
an environment in which cheating is so widespread”
• Punitive factors continue be perceived as the most
effective deterrents
• Moral and ethics reasoning may become increasingly
important goal

7. Motivational Predictors of Academic Cheating Among
First-Year
College Students: Goals, Expectations,
and Costs.
Results showed that:
• goals and expectations are important for understanding
how students’ perceive the costs associated with
cheating, and
• that attitudes toward cheating and past cheating
behavior are among the strongest predictors of
intention to cheat and actual cheating behavior
7 /18
8. The proposed model
suggested…
• That students’ decisions to cheat are primarily
based on a cost/benefit analysis and students’
assessments of the costs and benefits associated
with cheating are influenced by their academic
goals and expectations.
• That homework cheating was more common than
test cheating
8 /18
9. With respect to attitudes
• Educators need to help students realize the role
that homework plays in building a foundation of
knowledge for future learning and assignments.
• Additionally, educators should demonstrate to
students that assignments are not simply “busy
work” and that they serve a specific purpose.
• One way to do this is to create and communicate
learning outcomes and objectives for each
assignment.

10. With respect to subjective
norms….
• The biggest hurdle* for educators to overcome is
students’ perception that “everyone is doing it.”
• When students perceive that a majority of their
peers are cheating and are being rewarded for it,
they may be more inclined to cheat in order to avoid
an unfair disadvantage.

11. With respect to perceived behavioral
control
• Educators should be aware that students feel much
more confident in their ability to cheat on
homework and get away with it than they do in their
ability to successfully cheat on tests
• Using multiple versions of homework assignments
may reduce the amount of cheating that takes place
• If educators view homework and test cheating as
equally unacceptable, they should clearly
communicate punishments associated with both
types of cheating
11 /18
12. Recomendations
• Results showed that one of the strongest predictors
of cheating frequency in the respondent’s most
challenging course was past cheating, particularly
cheating during the first semester
• Students must be reminded early and often about
institutional and classroom standards for integrity
• Not only must educators help students learn the
institutional expectations, they must also help
students learn and practice the skills needed to
complete work with integrity (i.e., planning, time
management, use of library resources and services,
use of academic support resources and services,
etc.)

13. On the cause of university students’ cheating phenomenon …
ZHOU Run-xian, ZHOU Xiao-pin, 2007
(School of Business Administration, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, Wuhan Hubei 430205, China;
Wuhan International Trade University, Wuhan Hubei 430205, China)
• When university students establish the target to pass examination and obtain
a certificate, they produce a kind of expectation in the meantime, they make
a subjective evaluation on their own ability …, when their own ability can’t
reach the target, the “cheating” behavior seems to be in a clear pattern.
• Cheating behavior is the decided by the interaction of three factors, which
are:
• personal character of university students,
• social environment, and
• higher education management
• To clear up the cheating behavior phenomenon, we should start from three
aspects:
• norm university students behavior,
• excellent social environment and
• … improves various internal functions for development of students’
comprehensive character and
education

14. Plagio en educación
• Se pide a los estudiantes que realicen trabajos de redacción o
investigación.
• Por holgazanería, por voluntad deliberada de engañar o por
temor de no hacer un buen trabajo, algunos de ellos utilizan textos
ajenos que entregan al profesor sin citar su origen.
• Los profesores suelen considerar este tipo de comportamiento como
plagio, y por lo tanto como un comportamiento impropio que
conlleva sanciones o penalizaciones en la nota otorgada al
trabajo.
• Este fenómeno ha alcanzado una dimensión creciente (las
universidades hacen firmar a los estudiantes un "contrato de
honradez"), debido al acceso a las nuevas tecnologías que han
multiplicado las posibilidades de reproducción y manipulación de
textos.
• Se han desarrollado software para detectar el plagio
• Google: Resultados 1 .130.000 "plagiarism detection software".
