We propose that in order for higher education institutions to challenge cheating effectively, they need…

Qualters, Donna M.; McDaniels, Melissa; Cohen, Perrin – IDEA Center, Inc, 2013
Although universities often teach ethics courses, they do not always teach students how to apply ethical course content to ethical dilemmas they encounter on a day-to-day basis. The Awareness-Investigation-Responding (AIR) model of ethical inquiry bridges this gap by scaffolding the reflective process and empowering students to make more caring,…

Choo, Teh Eng (Elaine); Paull, Megan – Issues in Educational Research, 2013
The incidence of plagiarism, according to the literature, is increasing. But why do students plagiarise and why the increase? Is it due to laziness, opportunity, ignorance, fear or ambivalence? Or do they know that there is little chance of any significant penalty? The literature suggests that all of these apply. Given this, are universities and,…

Scherrer, Jimmy – Phi Delta Kappan, 2012
The use of value-added modeling (VAM) in school accountability is expanding, but deciding how to embrace VAM is difficult. Various experts say it's too unreliable, causes more harm than good, and has a big margin for error. Others assert VAM is imperfect but useful, and provides valuable feedback. A closer look at the models, and their use,…

In an experiment, participants were asked to respond to measures of…

Gallant, Tricia Bertram; Drinan, Patrick – Canadian Journal of Higher Education, 2008
The strategic choices facing higher education in confronting problems of academic misconduct need to be rethought.

A case study is provided to illustrate how the model can be used by postsecondary…

A statistical test for detecting answer copying on multiple-choice items is presented. The test is based on the exact null distribution of the number of random matches between two test takers under the assumption that the response process follows a known response model. The null distribution can easily be generalized to the family of distributions…
