Academic Ethics: A Pilot Study on the Attitudes of Finnish Students
Ludlum, Marty; Hongell, Linn; Tigerstedt, Christa; Teeman, Justin
Journal of Academic Ethics, v15 n4 p307-320 Dec 2017
This research details a pilot study of Finnish college students and their views on the academic ethics (cheating). Finland is an unexamined population on this issue. In the current project, we surveyed students (n = 119) in the spring of 2014. We found unethical behavior is common on projects but less common on exams. We also found students are unwilling to report wrongdoing by other students. We examined differences between students' attitudes on cheating based on several demographic factors, including gender, age and major. We conclude by discussing the implications for further research in this area.
