Abstract

Purpose

The study examines the effectiveness of an academic integrity training program called Academic Integrity Training (AIT) in improving students’ academic integrity among final-year students.

Design/methodology/approach

The research design used was one group pretest and posttest (n = 40) students in research proposal courses.

Findings

Analysis with stacking and racking analysis showed a change in the distribution of the Logit Value Person (LVP) and Logit Value Item (LVI) values on the side of the subjects and items used for this study. Testing with a paired sample t-test yielded a value of t = −3.059 and a significance (p) = 0.004, indicating that there was a significant increase in LVP at the pre-test (M = 2.52 & SD = 1.56) and post-test (M = 3.33 & SD = 2.09) in the subject of the study.

Practical implications

The study results concluded that this academic integrity training program can improve students' academic integrity and is designed and implemented with the right personal approach to suppress academic dishonesty, especially the problem of plagiarism among graduate students submitting thesis proposals.

Originality/value

Academic dishonesty has been a major problem in higher education over the last two decades. Various strategies have been attempted to address the condition, but no program has been found to directly address the problem on the personal order or individuals who do so.

通过高等教育学术诚信培训（AIT）计划提高学生的学术诚信水平

研究目的：本研究探讨了学术诚信培训项目 "学术诚信培训（AIT）"在提高毕业班学生学术诚信方面的效果。研究设计为研究计划书课程的一组前测和后测（n = 40）学生。研究结果：通过堆叠和排序分析，本研究使用的受试者和项目的对数值人（LVP）和对数值项（LVI）的分布发生了变化。通过配对样本 t 检验得出 t = -3.059，显著性 (p) = 0.004，表明研究对象的对数值在前测（M = 2.52 & SD = 1.56）和后测（M = 3.33 & SD = 2.09）时有显著增加。实践意义研究结果表明，该学术诚信培训项目可以提高学生的学术诚信度，并以正确的个人方法设计和实施该项目，以遏制学术不诚信行为，尤其是研究生提交论文提案时的抄袭问题。原创性/价值在过去的二十年里，学术不诚信一直是高等教育中的一个主要问题。人们尝试了各种策略来解决这一状况，但还没有发现任何方案可以直接解决个人秩序或个人的学术不诚实问题。

期刊介绍： Higher education around the world has become a major topic of discussion, debate, and controversy, as a range of political, economic, social, and technological pressures result in a myriad of changes at all levels. But the quality and quantity of critical dialogue and research and their relationship with practice remains limited. This internationally peer-reviewed journal addresses this shortfall by focusing on the scholarship and practice of teaching and learning and higher education and covers: - Higher education teaching, learning, curriculum, assessment, policy, management, leadership, and related areas - Digitization, internationalization, and democratization of higher education, and related areas such as lifelong and lifewide learning - Innovation, change, and reflections on current practices
