s-reduce-cheating-and-improve-student-learning
"Q: How would you summarize the relationship between student learning and
academic honesty (or dishonesty)? What do you think might explain this
relationship?
A: Cheating is an inappropriate response to a learning environment thatıs
not working for the student. Both sides of that sentence are important.
Itıs inappropriate, which means that we have to hold the student
accountable for the dishonest action, and ensure that we maintain high
standards of academic integrity. But itıs equally true that something in
that learning environment doesnıt seem to be working for that student. He
might see the course as a curricular requirement that means nothing to
him; he might be confused by the assignment or see it as busywork; he
might see himself as not having the knowledge or skills he needs to
complete the assignment."
