When nurses are dishonest, lives are at risk. So why is academic misconduct so prevalent among nursing students? This webinar was presented by JCU Nursing and Midwifery Professor Melanie Birks and Dr John Smithson.
1) The document studies the causes of unethical behavior in students and tests hypotheses about relationships between causes and unethical behavior.
2) An online survey was conducted of 88 students from BIM to collect data on gender, year of study, and factors related to unethical behavior.
3) The major findings were that copying presentations is not related to avoiding responsibilities, male and female students showed similar willingness to engage in unethical acts, and strict exam monitoring induced somewhat more exam malpractices.
The document discusses academic integrity and dishonesty at Penn State University. It provides statistics on reported academic dishonesty cases among freshmen in 2006/2007, lists behaviors that compromise academic integrity, and examines students' perceptions of cheating based on a survey. Turnitin, a plagiarism detection program, is also mentioned as a tool used by over 1,500 Penn State instructors.
We composed a lecture for students entering their first clinical year at UCL, chiefly to attempt to alleviate exam -related anxiety and analysed the feedback received to determine its efficacy.
This was presented as a poster at IAMSE, June 2013 (182), and adapted for an electronic poster at AMEE, August 2013 (5GG/7) and a short communication at FRAMPEIK, October 2013.
The document summarizes a study on community college instructors' perceptions of technology-assisted academic dishonesty. It includes the problem statement, research questions, assumptions, limitations, and definitions used in the study. The literature review discusses theories, prior research on student and faculty attitudes, honor codes, plagiarism, and the impact of technology and millennials. The methodology section outlines the mixed methods research design, including an online survey of 67 instructors and interviews of 6 participants. The findings section provides quantitative results on instructors' experiences with dishonesty and qualitative interview summaries.
This document discusses the practice of cramming for exams and projects. It defines cramming as hastily preparing for an impending assessment by taking in a large amount of material in a short period of time. While some students resort to cramming due to lack of motivation or time to study regularly, it can increase stress and prevent deep understanding. Cramming should only be used as a last resort, as it is better to utilize study methods that allow for regular learning over time. A survey found that 32% of students use cramming techniques, and that it is more common among younger students and women. Cramming is not an effective way to gain long-term knowledge of a subject.
This study examined pathways of undergraduate engineering students at Arizona State University over their first two years from 2007-2012. It found that 50% of students departed engineering within 2 years, with most (85%) leaving in the first 2 years. Female students had higher GPAs than males but were more likely to leave, suggesting non-academic factors influenced their pathways. A suite of strategies introduced in 2007 was associated with increased retention rates over time, though GPA and destination after leaving engineering remained similar. The study recommends faculty development to create a more inclusive classroom environment.
STEM Students Abroad: Understanding their Motivations and ExperiencesCIEE
This session will focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students' motivations for studying abroad and the value of their experiences. With STEM fields underrepresented in study abroad, we hope to share student stories that encourage future STEM students to take the leap. Survey data from STEM student feedback will highlight: why STEM students study abroad, types of experiences, skills gained abroad for future careers or academic pursuits, perceived barriers to studying abroad, and ways to meet those challenges. Part of the session will focus on learning more about academic advisor perspectives on STEM students studying abroad, including benefits and challenges.

Students bring multiple devices to campus, preferring mobile options like laptops and smartphones. They view technology as positively impacting their academic success, helping them learn and feel more engaged. While using devices for social and academic purposes, students prefer to keep these separate. Blended learning environments that incorporate technology are seen as most effective. Institutions should support ubiquitous wireless access and help desks, while examining job roles and available technologies. Faculty should question assumptions and partner with instructional designers to thoughtfully integrate appropriate technologies.
IRJET- Making an Uncertain or Wrong Subject/Program/University ChoiceIRJET Journal
This document summarizes a research paper about students making wrong choices regarding their university program or subject. A survey was conducted of 60 engineering students to understand why they make uncertain or wrong choices. The key findings were that over half of students were not clear on their career goals and were not able to cope with wrong choices they had made. Making wrong choices can negatively impact students' careers and mental health. The conclusion emphasizes that students should take responsibility for their choices and focus on moving forward positively rather than dwelling on past mistakes.

The evaluations used iterative, participatory methods including surveys, interviews, and focus groups with students and staff. Key findings included a preference among students for academic advisors over other support services. Based on the evaluations, the university implemented mandatory advisor training, meeting requirements for advisors, and clarified advisor roles. The evaluations demonstrated an effective developmental approach for understanding programs and enacting positive change.
Is it Cheating or Group Problem Solving?Greg Friese
This document discusses cheating in EMS education. It explores the scope of cheating, how common barriers have limited impact, and proposes solutions to reduce cheating. Research shows cheating is widespread at all grade levels due to cultural acceptance and low risks of getting caught. Common cheating methods include plagiarism, falsifying information, and getting unauthorized help. While simple solutions exist like announcing penalties, more complex strategies are needed like changing the evaluation method, focusing on competency over facts, and celebrating problem solving over individual work. The goal is to develop an honor code and culture that values integrity.
This document summarizes key findings from three recent data sets about clinician learning:
1) Clinicians are increasingly using social media like Twitter (37%) and private networks (51%) for lifelong learning, and 60% believe it can improve patient care.
2) There is a trend away from live CME meetings and toward online CME and virtual courses. 53% of clinicians expect their online CME participation to increase in the next year.
3) Interviews found clinicians have four natural learning actions - note taking (85% are note-takers), reminders, searching for information, and learning socially. However, current learning environments do not adequately support these actions.

The presentation was scheduled for March 17, 2021 from 1:30-6:00pm and included two presenters from the University of South Carolina. The learning outcomes focused on understanding early alert programming, exploring research on national trends, identifying key components, designing systematic programs, developing faculty/staff support networks, preparing faculty/staff, and evaluating programs. The presentation covered defining early alert, the history and rationale of programs, implications, causes of student issues, research on programs, prevalence in different institutions, students targeted, reach of programs, communication/intervention timing, staff roles, the role of technology, data collection, intrusive advising
The document discusses theoretical frameworks for deterring academic misconduct. It outlines theories such as rational choice theory, neutralization theory, and situational action theory. Rational choice theory views academic dishonesty as a decision students make by weighing costs and benefits. Neutralization theory suggests students can rationalize misconduct without damage to self-esteem. Situational action theory emphasizes both the opportunity and intention to cheat influence misconduct. The document recommends reducing opportunities to cheat and increasing education on integrity to prevent misconduct based on these theories.
Is it Cheating or Group Problem Solving presented to Colorado EMS Educator Sy...Greg Friese
Cheating is a widespread problem at all educational levels. While definitions of cheating may vary, it generally involves obtaining or providing unauthorized assistance and violating rules of academic integrity. Simple solutions include clearly communicating expectations and consequences, but addressing the root cultural and psychological factors that enable cheating requires more complex strategies. These include focusing on competency over memorization, implementing honor codes, discussing values of honesty, and optimizing testing environments to reduce opportunities and incentives for dishonest behavior. Comprehensive solutions aim to change norms and rebuild an academic culture that celebrates learning rather than winning at any cost.

This dissertation examines factors affecting the retention and placement of women in non-traditional fields of study through a mixed methods approach. The study involved administering a survey to 187 female students in non-traditional majors and interviewing 25 students. Quantitative data found no significant differences between married, single, and divorced women in their reasons for choosing non-traditional fields, how career choices affect retention, personal elements, and institutional factors. Qualitative findings revealed that early education/training and role models encourage women in non-traditional fields and that support services help with retention. The study concludes that equal opportunities, training, and addressing counselor biases can help more women enter and stay in non-traditional occupations.

This document is a school-based assessment report on truancy among online students. It includes sections on the problem statement, research purpose, methodology, data collection instruments, procedures, data presentation, analysis, findings, and recommendations. The student researcher conducted an online survey of 20 students to investigate the causes of truancy in online classes. The main findings were that lack of supervision at home and lack of internet access were the primary reasons for students displaying truant behavior or not attending online classes. Recommendations included having parents join virtual classes to monitor students and address truant behavior.
Associate Professor Tracey Bretag: Contract cheating implications for Teachin...Studiosity.com
The document summarizes key findings from a research project on contract cheating in Australian higher education. The project involved surveys of over 14,000 students and 1,100 staff across 8 universities. It found that contract cheating is a systemic issue influenced by perceptions of higher education as a business. While most outsourcing involves people students know, certain factors like speaking a non-English language at home increase risk. Authentic assessment alone does not prevent cheating, and suspected cases often go unreported due to lack of proof or time. Overall, the problem requires addressing the complex causes rather than simplistic solutions.
The document summarizes new data on clinician learning from three recent studies. The studies looked at clinician use of social media for learning, preferences for continuing medical education (CME), and natural learning actions. The data showed varied use of social media among clinicians, a preference for online and virtual CME courses over live meetings, and that clinicians engage in note-taking, reminders, searching for information, and social learning but often lack effective systems to support these actions. The document proposes discussing how this new understanding of clinician learning could impact educational programs.
This document discusses cheating in EMS education and provides strategies to address it. Cheating is common across many fields including EMS due to various factors like high stakes testing, lack of clear rules and consequences. However, simple solutions can help reduce cheating like announcing penalties, asking students not to cheat, and role modeling integrity. More complex strategies involve discussing academic honesty, implementing honor codes, focusing evaluations on competency over memorization, and changing the learning culture to value effort and problem solving over scores. The best approaches address root causes by selecting students committed to integrity, teaching values like honesty and respect, and optimizing testing environments.
The document summarizes research on plagiarism and cheating in high schools. It discusses definitions of plagiarism, reasons why students cheat, data on the prevalence of different types of cheating behaviors, the relationship between beliefs and behaviors, and models of moral functioning. Key findings include that students are less likely to cheat if they believe it is morally wrong or their peers disapprove, and more likely if they endorse rationalizations for cheating or believe peers are cheating.
The document discusses a panel discussion on plagiarism in high schools. It provides biographies of the moderator and several panelists, who include educators, researchers, and a student. The panelists then discuss various topics related to academic integrity in high schools, including defining plagiarism for students, understanding why students cheat and how they view it, research on the relationship between beliefs and cheating behaviors, and strategies for changing school culture to promote integrity.
Is it Cheating or Group Problem SolvingGreg Friese
Greg Friese discusses cheating in EMS education. He explains that cheating is common across all levels of education due to various factors like peer pressure, lack of clear rules, and low risk of consequences. Some common forms of cheating include plagiarism, falsifying records, and sharing test answers. Friese proposes solutions like implementing academic integrity policies, discussing ethics and values with students, focusing assessments on competency over facts, and promoting a culture that celebrates learning over scores. The overall goal is to reduce cheating through prevention, education, and evaluating students on what they can do rather than what they know.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

8. Our research
• Aimed to describe the nature and extent of academic
dishonesty among nursing students in Australia
• Questions included:
– 6 demographic items
– 6 items about their course
– 4 items about academic dishonesty
– 8 items about academic dishonesty
– 9 items about professional dishonesty
• A social desirability scale was also included
9. Results
• 467 surveys returned – 361 viable
• 90% currently enrolled in undergraduate degree
• 95% domestic students
• 90% indicated familiarity with university codes and
guidelines about misconduct
• 90% would be deterred from cheating by severe
punishment
• 75% would be deterred by signing a declaration
10. Cheating behaviours
• More than a quarter copied from the internet without
proper acknowledgement
• One fifth worked with another student when not
authorized to
• Figures were less for planned (3.3% or fewer) or
spontaneous (6.1% or fewer) cheating during an exam
• Just over 10% reported that they used unauthorised
material or fabricated data in an academic exercise
11. Of concern…

13. Interesting to note…
• Academic misconduct (45.4%) occurs at a rate similar to
professional misconduct (49.5%)
• Younger students were more likely to cheat
• Social desirability outcome was (weakly) negatively
correlated with age
• Only a minority reported any undesirable activity ‘often’ or
‘very often’
• Correlation test indicate that students who engaged in
academic misconduct were more likely to engage in
professional misconduct
14. Discussion
• Why are younger students more likely to cheat?
• How much does technology contribute to facilitating
and detecting the problem?
• Early work found gender to be a factor – why would
that be the case?
• Does academic misconduct result from students not
understanding, or just not caring?
• Are there different degrees of academic and
professional dishonesty?

The impetus for this study.
Describe social desirability scale.
I have removed items with less than 10% affirmative response.
Not sure if this belongs here. Interesting to show the answers to some of these items.
Or are younger students just more likely to be honest as older have lower SDB than mature and experienced students?
Evidence suggests that if students think everyone is doing it, it’s okay.
Drug use in sport example – need to do it to be competitive.
