| Descripción: | AbstractAcademic dishonesty is an issue that post-secondary institutions are having difficulty resolving. More than 100 studies have been conducted over the past 30 years, yet these studies have not provided data necessary to effectively address this problem. Indeed, research indicates that academic dishonesty is increasing. The purpose of this study was to determine the meaning of academic dishonesty as described and understood by nursing students at an Ontario university. Eleven students were interviewed to determine their perceptions regarding academic dishonesty. The data provided details of cheating behaviours and situations. Also significant were the students’ descriptions of their life worlds, in which academic dishonesty plays a role. As a result, this study demonstrated that situational factors, such as a caring curriculum, heavy workload, faculty attitudes, and technology, had an impact on both why and how these nursing students were collaborating with each other and cheating.RésuméLa malhonnêteté académique est un problème que les établissements d’enseignement postsecondaire ont de la difficulté à résoudre. Plus de 100 études générales ont été effectuées au cours des 30 dernières années, mais elles n’ont pas produit de résultats concrets permettant de pallier ce problème. En fait, ces recherches indiquent que la malhonnêteté académique est en hausse. Le but de la présente étude était de déterminer la signification de la malhonnêteté académique telle que décrite et comprise par des étudiants en soins infirmiers d’une université ontarienne. Onze étudiants ont passé une entrevue pour évaluer leurs perceptions de la malhonnêteté académique. Les données fournies présentaient des détails sur des comportements et des situations associés à la tricherie. Également importantes pour l’étude, étaient les descriptions que les étudiants ont donné de leur monde, où la malhonnêteté académique est présente. Par conséquent, cette étude démontre que des facteurs situationnels, tels un programme éducatif bienveillant, une quantité importante de travail, le comportement des intervenants de la faculté et le recours aux technologies, ont eu un effet sur les raisons qui poussent les étudiants en soins infirmiers à collaborer entre eux et à tricher, de même que sur les façons d’y arriver. |
