Australian, Malaysian and Indonesian Accounting Academics' Teaching Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic

This study analyses and presents accounting academics' experiences in six universities in Australia, Malaysia, and Indonesia to adapt to the swift change to the remote virtual classroom delivery model forced by the COVID-19 pandemic, while also gaining valuable lessons from this unique situation. In this study, autoethnography's basic principles were used. The main results suggest that the universities' combined current information and communication technologies, learning management systems, blended learning experiences, training, and supports, although not without hitches, were able to accommodate the shift to a remote virtual classroom model quite effectively. However, the move to fully online assessment has been conceded to likely increase the embedded risk of student cheating. The availability of reliable internet connection for students is also crucial in ensuring access equality and effective remote virtual classroom delivery.

Normative Revisionism about Student Cheating

This paper considers characteristic views advanced in the past fifteen years that may be considered relatively sympathetic to student practices of cheating on graded assignments or exams. We detect and analyze typical fallacies that are recurrent in articles that promote a revisionist view of cheating as morally permissible. We offer a general, deontological argument that cheating is immoral. The efforts to justify student cheating take several forms. For example, it has been argued that cheating may be tolerated if the student did not intend to cheat, perhaps because of a failure to understand the normal rules or expected procedures. We also argue that student collaboration in graded work constitutes cheating even if the instructor condones such collaboration. In a similar vein, we address the view that student copying is cheating even if the instructor alters the rules to allow such copying. This moral view can be applied to any cheating behavior, we argue. As a specific example, we demonstrate how it can be applied to the pedagogical recommendation that instructors should encourage their students to cheat in order to cultivate student skills in the area of cyber security. We also address the view that student cheating can be justified by situations in which the student believes that he/she is being subjected to an unfair or unethical overall learning environment.

Effects of Self-Control on Cheating Among Indonesian College Students

Cheating among college students has long been a concern in the academic field. In addressing this problem, it is imperative to determine in what circumstances college students cheat. Looking into the internal factor, previous research found that the depletion of self-control increased the probability of cheating. To determine whether this result could be replicated in an Indonesian population, we conducted an experimental study. A sample of 63 undergraduates was randomized into two groups, a self-control depletion group (had difficult essay-writing task) and a self-control no-depletion group (had an easy essay-writing task). After writing the essay, the participants were then asked to complete a knowledge task directly on the test sheet and then copy their answers into a pre-marked sheet. Cheating was determined as modified answers from the test sheet to the pre-marked sheet. The results showed a significant difference in modified answers between the depleted and non-depleted self-control group (t = 2.09, p < 0.05). This finding indicates that depletion of self-control affects cheating. This study has a meaningful implication for determining the ideal setting in which the university should conduct their examinations.

Strategies for fostering academic integrity in the classroom

Academic integrity can be defined in many ways and can have different implications and applications from both the student and instructor perspective. Following a pilot study gathering data from the authors’ host institutions, data was gathered from faculty attending the summer 2019 ASBMB Transforming Education meeting during a “living poster” presentation on the topic. Specifically, the authors asked questions probing faculty knowledge about cultural norms at their institution surrounding academic integrity and what they perceived were their biggest challenges in the classroom. Faculty responses focused on understanding motivations for student cheating, sharing real‐world examples of unethical behavior with students, and determining strategies for mitigating cheating. These observations led to the development of a survey distributed across the STEM community, from which the data will be used to generate a reference of best practices for fostering academic integrity in the science classroom.

Detecting contract cheating: examining the role of assessment type

ABSTRACT This article contributes to an emerging body of research on the role of assessment design in the prevention and detection of contract cheating. Drawing on the largest contract cheating dataset gathered to date (see cheatingandassessment.edu.au), this article examines the types of assignments and exams in which students self-reported having engaged in some form of third-party cheating, and compares this with the types of assignments and exams in which staff self-reported detection of third-party cheating. The article outlines three key findings. Firstly, students most commonly reported cheating in the context of exams (particularly multiple-choice exams), yet staff reported the detection of cheating in exams relatively rarely. Secondly, students reported cheating in traditional written assignments, such as reports and essays, at slightly lower rates than exams, however staff detection rates for these assignments were far higher than for exams. So third-party cheating was reported by students as occurring most commonly in exams, yet it was detected most commonly by staff in assignments. And thirdly, staff detection rates relative to student cheating rates were typically highest for text-rich assessments – regardless of whether they were invigilated (e.g., essay under exam conditions) or not (e.g., essay). These findings challenge simplistic advice in the literature and public debate that universities should move away from text-based assignments and towards invigilated exams as a means to prevent contract cheating. While text-rich forms of assessment are not immune to contract cheating, exams are not inherently secure. While staff appear to be practised at detecting cheating in the context of student writing, greater awareness is needed to improve the detection of cheating in exams.

Let Your Students Cheat on Exams

ABSTRACT What if your students could access any resource during a test? How would they react? How would you react? This paper presents some results from a trial of allowing students access to notes, calculators, and any device connected to the internet, which occurred during a midterm in a second-year ordinary differential equations university course. This was generally well-received by the students and feedback informed a subsequent use of this approach in a mathematical reasoning course. I argue that this open-resource exam protocol affords the opportunity for less routine and possibly more conceptual engagement with mathematics.

Cheating and Its Dangers

Theses (dissertations and masters' theses) can be particularly important resources because they represent sources of detailed information that may not be included in a communication of an article in a highly popular journal, owing to space limitations. In addition, a thesis is a document presumably prepared under supervision of an experienced faculty member with the aid of a committee of faculty peers. The supervisory committee constitutes an in-house group of experts who can prevent mistakes from being disseminated, as editors and reviewers do for articles sent to journals. Unfortunately, the value of a thesis may be limited when committee members do not perform their traditional functions, when students cheat, or when students commit plagiarism. Examples of these problems are presented as case studies and as cautionary examples. In addition, suggestions are made to limit damage that can be caused by those guilty of less than exemplary behavior.
