Paper Abstract:
|
Many researchers have dwelled on the phenomenon of academic dishonesty (AD) or unethical behaviors within the
academic environment. While this phenomenon can be explained by various factors, the current study investigates and
presents a new structural model for determinants of AD. The predictors of AD that were found in the context of
traditional and distance-learning courses in higher education are types of motivation, students' attitudes, personality traits,
and cultural backgrounds (presented by country according to Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory). This study was
conducted using a survey method of 2,357 students studying in six different academic institutes. Using structural
equation modeling (SEM) the results indicate that the surveyed students tend to engage less in AD in online courses than
in face-to-face courses. This notion is contrary to the traditional views and the research literature, therefore, having
important practical implications for educators, institution and researchers dealing with course design development and
institutional policy concerning pedagogical uses of digital technology. |
