The use frequency of 10 different methods for preventing and detecting academic dishonesty and the factors influencing their use

Abstract: This study examines the use frequency by German faculty of 10 different methods for preventing and detecting cheating on exams, plagiarism, and falsification and/or fabrication of data. It also investigates the factors influencing their use. In total, 3655 faculty members from 55 randomly chosen disciplines at 4 German universities were contacted and asked to participate in a web-based survey. Our results show that some methods were applied (very) seldom (e.g. the use of textmatching software), while others we… Show more

“…We found that the higher that perceived tolerance was, the higher the cheating rates were.

Peale selle tekitab küsimusi, kes peaks üliõpilase töid süsteemis kontrollima -kas üliõpilane või õppejõud (Chew, Ding, & Rowell, 2015).…”
