Policy Matters: Tendencies towards Academic Misconduct

Abstract

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in March 2020, the global education system has been compelled to adopt Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) in response to the threat of the virus. This abrupt shift in teaching methods has yielded anticipated and unanticipated consequences across all levels of education. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of ERT on academic integrity at a higher education institution situated in the western region of Türkiye. 12 hypothetical academic misconduct scenarios questionnaire was completed by a total of 234 participants. The responses relating to student observations suggest that collusion is perceived to be the most commonly witnessed form of academic misconduct, with many students specifically noting the prevalence of exam outsourcing. However, contract cheating was found to be the least preferred method of academic transgression in this study. Another significant finding suggests based on students observations that in-class activities facilitated by teachers can inadvertently facilitate either collaboration or dishonest practices among students during ERT. It is worth emphasizing that the implementation of well-designed assignments for effective assessments can serve as an initial step towards preserving academic integrity within an academic institution. Consequently, this study underscores the persisting and widespread issue of academic integrity transgressions within higher education, reaffirming its status as an epidemic concern.

Politika Önemlidir: Akademik Suistimale Yönelik Eğilimler

Abstract

Mart 2020'de COVID-19'un patlak vermesinden bu yana, küresel eğitim sistemi virüs tehdidine yanıt olarak Acil Uzaktan Öğretimi (AUÖ) benimsemek zorunda kaldı. Öğretim yöntemlerindeki bu ani değişim, eğitimin tüm düzeylerinde beklenen ve beklenmeyen sonuçlara yol açtı. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'nin batı bölgesinde yer alan bir yükseköğretim kurumunda AUÖ’nün akademik dürüstlük üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. 12 varsayımsal akademik suistimal senaryosu anketi toplam 234 katılımcı tarafından dolduruldu. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, gizli anlaşmanın en sık gözlemlenen akademik suiistimal biçimi olduğunu ve sınavlarda dış kaynak kullanımının özellikle öğrenciler arasında yaygın olduğunu göstermektedir. Ancak bu çalışmada kopya anlaşmasının, kopya çekmenin akademik ihlallerde en az tercih edilen yöntem olduğu da öğrencilerin gözlemlerine dayalı olarak bulunmuştur. Bir diğer önemli bulgu, öğretmenler tarafından sınıf içi etkinliklerin, AUÖ sırasında öğrenciler arasındaki iş birliğini veya dürüst olmayan uygulamaları istemeden de olsa kolaylaştırabileceğini göstermektedir. Etkili değerlendirmeler için iyi tasarlanmış ödevlerin uygulanmasının, bir akademik kurumda akademik dürüstlüğün korunmasına yönelik bir ilk adım olabileceğini vurgulamakta fayda var. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma, yükseköğretimde devam eden ve yaygın olan akademik dürüstlük ihlalleri sorununun altını çizerek, bunun bir salgın endişesi olduğunu yeniden doğrulamaktadır.
