Abstract

It is well known that students intentionally and unintentionally commit academic misconduct, but how can universities prevent academic misconduct and foster a culture of academic integrity? Based on a literature synthesis, an actionable Model for Preventing Academic Misconduct is presented. The model’s basic premise is that students’ voluntary participation in individual courses or academic integrity modules will have far less impact on preventing academic misconduct than required faculty or university-wide programming in core courses. In validating the model, the steps taken by the School of Business at a Canadian university to prevent academic misconduct are examined. Two online tutorials were created and implemented as required modules in the School of Business introductory core courses. Actual academic misconduct incidents recorded by the University from 2016 to 2021, a three-year pre-intervention period and a two-year post-intervention period partly covering the COVID-19 outbreak, are used to gauge the model’s effectiveness in preventing academic misconduct. The findings are discussed through a Social Learning Theory lens: the high-level implementation gives rise to a culture of academic integrity propelled by the establishment of common knowledge.

预防学术不端行为的模式:来自大规模干预的证据
众所周知,学生会有意或无意地实施学术不端行为,但大学如何才能预防学术不端行为并培养学术诚信文化呢?本文在文献综述的基础上,提出了一个可操作的 "预防学术不端行为模型"。该模型的基本前提是,学生自愿参与个别课程或学术诚信模块,对预防学术不端行为的影响远远小于要求教师或全校在核心课程中开展的活动。在验证该模式时,我们考察了加拿大一所大学商学院为防止学术不端行为而采取的措施。商学院创建了两个在线教程,并将其作为入门核心课程的必修模块。该大学从 2016 年到 2021 年记录的实际学术不端行为事件(干预前的三年和干预后的两年,部分涵盖了 COVID-19 的爆发)被用来衡量该模型在预防学术不端行为方面的有效性。研究结果通过社会学习理论的视角进行了讨论:高层次的实施促进了学术诚信文化的形成,而学术诚信文化的形成则是由常识的建立所推动的。
