Abstract

ABSTRACT Despite university efforts to create honour codes and a culture of integrity, student academic dishonesty remains a widespread problem around the world. Previous theoretical and methodological approaches, which informed the development of measures for the prevention of dishonest behaviour, focus only on student justifications of academic misconduct as abnormal or deviant acts. However, understanding the arguments that both criticize and justify dishonesty at universities is crucial for developing an effective integrity policy. Based on Boltanski and Thevenot's theory, we develop and validate a questionnaire measuring the prevalence of students who draw on domestic, market and industrial orders of worth justifying or criticizing academic dishonesty. A total of 3,538 students from six Russian universities participated in the study. The results supported the applicability of the proposed model, demonstrating the validity and reliability of the instrument. The instrument can be utilized by universities for monitoring what order of worth prevails among students and developing honour codes and integrity policy.

大学生学术失信的批判与辩护:价值量表的国内、市场和行业订单的开发与验证

尽管大学努力建立荣誉守则和诚信文化，但学生学术不诚实仍然是世界各地普遍存在的问题。以前的理论和方法方法为预防不诚实行为的措施的发展提供了信息，这些方法只关注学生将学术不端行为视为不正常或越轨行为的理由。然而，理解批评和证明大学不诚实的论据对于制定有效的诚信政策至关重要。基于Boltanski和Thevenot的理论，我们开发并验证了一份调查问卷，该问卷测量了利用国内、市场和行业秩序为学术不诚实辩护或批评的学生的普遍程度。来自俄罗斯六所大学的3538名学生参与了这项研究。结果支持了所提模型的适用性，证明了仪器的有效性和可靠性。大学可以利用该工具来监测学生中普遍存在的价值秩序，并制定荣誉守则和诚信政策。
