How Academic Dishonesty Is A Violation Of Trust Between...

Thank You Technology! From Students Everywhere Introduction Academic dishonesty is a violation of trust between the student and the teacher. Teachers expect their students to be fair, honest, study and do their own work. Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to: Cheating - copying answers from another student s test, quiz, worksheet, etc. Bribery - paying another student to do their homework or give them answers Plagiarism - copying someone else s work without giving them credit Impersonation - pretending to be someone else in order to give the person a better advantage The idea behind academic honesty is to create a learning environment that is fair and sincere.

Learning is why students go to school and the importance of learning should be emphasized over grades. â€Å"In a climate where they’re told what really matters are grades, students turn to cheating (rather than to learning) in order to do well† (Watters, n.d.). Technology definitely helps students to cheat, but the reason the percent of students cheating is growing exponentially is not dependent on technology alone. Discussion Research has shown that whether students attend a public school or a private school doesn’t matter, students in both of these settings still have admitted to cheating. An Institute Center surveyed 43,000 high school students from both public schools and private schools and their results showed that â€Å"59% of high school students admitted cheating on a test during the last year† (â€Å"What is Plagiarism?†, n.d). The research showed that over half of the students have cheated on a test within the past year yet, what is even more surprising is that â€Å"34% self-reported doing it more than two times† (â€Å"What is Plagiarism?†, n.d). So not only are students guilty of cheating, some students are guilty of cheating more than once. Additionally, grade level was not a factor either. Students from elementary on up to college have admitted to cheating.
