Academic honesty and ethical learning practices among university students: A qualitative inquiry

Abstract

The main aim of this study was to identify the importance of academic honesty in promoting integrity learning among university students concerning aspects of organization and improvement. The study was based on a qualitative approach where semi-structured interviews with students, lecturers, and academic managers in various universities were conducted. From this study, it was evident that academic honesty was conceptualized based on its values, such as honesty, fairness, and responsibility. However, it was realized that it was quite high academic pressure, coupled with a lack of knowledge regarding whether your subject belongs to or not, and access to technology that led to this behavior among students, such as plagiarism, cheating, and collaboration, among others. It was also realized that academic honesty was based on its values, such as honesty, fairness, and responsibility.
