Understanding of and attitudes to academic ethics among firstâ€year university students
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the understanding of and attitudes towards academic ethics of firstâ€year students at a South African University using a paperâ€based survey that yielded 3611 respondents. A degree of confusion and ambivalence regarding academic ethical issues exists. The relative wealth of respondents also appears to influence the understanding of and attitudes to academic ethics. Millennial students have a tendency to disregard ownership of knowledge. There is a need for instruction in academic ethics to instil an awareness of integrity in academic pursuit, coupled with an understanding of the world views of millennials.ÂDownloads
