This novel study explores "AI-giarism," an emergent form of academic dishonesty involving AI and plagiarism, within the higher education context. The objective of this study is to investigate students' perception of adopting generative AI for research and study purposes, and their understanding of traditional plagiarism and their…

Modafinil is a prescription-only drug in most countries. It is mainly used to treat narcolepsy and sleep disorders, but it is also used, without a prescription, as a cognitive enhancer by [approximately 10% of UK University students. Previous research has focused on the prevalence of, and motivations for, these behaviours. Here we focused…

Mastering SQL programming skills is fundamental in computer science education, and Online Judging Systems (OJS) play a critical role in automatically assessing SQL codes, improving the accuracy and efficiency of evaluations. However, these systems are vulnerable to manipulation by students who can submit "cheating codes" that pass the…

In this article, the authors explore the concerns surrounding academic dishonesty related to generative artificial intelligence (GAI). The authors argue that while there are valid worries about students using GAI in ways the displace student work, these anxieties are not new and have been observed with previous disruptive technologies such as the…

This paper examines the concept of "academic integrity." Drawing on Calhoun's social perspective of integrity and on MacIntyre's goods-based view of practice, we propose to understand acting with academic integrity as standing before others and with others, firmly but non-dogmatically, to protect the integrity of academic practice and,…

For years, a lively debate has been going on about the normative implications of the relationship between pharmacological cognitive enhancement (PCE) and education. While much has been said about PCE's potential to undermine academic achievement or enable cheating, with surprisingly many authors drawing comparisons to doping in sports, one key…

We describe and evaluate a method to mitigate unwanted student collaborations in assessments, which we recently implemented in a second-year undergraduate mathematics module. The method requires a list of specific pairs of students to be prevented from collaborating, which we constructed based on the results of previous assessments. We converted…

Fraudulent published papers were once thought to be rare, but in recent years, there has been growing awareness of coordinated activities by for-profit organizations that charge authors a fee to sell articles and submit them to reputable journals. These are known as paper mills. We reflect here on how "Mind, Brain and Education" suffered…

Purpose: Academic dishonesty has been a source of concern for universities and colleges for decades; however, there is limited research linking allied health students to cheating behaviors. The purpose of this study was to explore which cheating behaviors occurred most frequently among speech-language pathology students and why. Method: This…

Academic dishonesty remains a persistent concern for educational institutions, threatening the reputation of universities. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools exacerbates this challenge as they can be used for chatting but also for cheating. Several scientific papers have analyzed the advantages and risks of using AI tools like…

This research with two studies examined whether young children's moral judgments of honesty and dishonesty predict their actual cheating behavior. Participants were 200 children aged 3-6 years (2021-2022. Study 1: N = 80, M[subscript age] = 4.96, 40 girls; Study 2: N = 120, M[subscript age] = 4.98, 60 girls; all middle-class Han Chinese). Children…

Academic misconduct is common in both secondary and higher education and schools still lag behind in preventing unethical behavior. The present research addressed the effectiveness of formative activities aimed at improving ethical behavior of students in secondary education. The probability of engaging in cheating, harming others, hiding…

Several studies on research misconduct have already explored and discussed its potential occurrence in universities across different countries. However, little is known about this issue in Spain, a paradigmatic context due to its consolidated scientific evaluation system, which relies heavily on metrics. The present article attempts to fill this…

This study examines the determinants of online academic dishonesty using the theory of planned behavior. We surveyed 1087 college students in Central Philippines and utilized a partial least squares-structural equation modeling analysis to evaluate a proposed model. Results demonstrate that 10 of the 11 hypothesized relationships are statistically…

ChatGPT is having an impact on students, and information systems (IS) and computing academic professionals alike. Our goal for this paper is to help faculty and students know the conditions in which generative AI such as ChatGPT should or should not be used. To that end, we describe the development of a 2x2 matrix. On the horizontal axis we have…
