To ascertain background factors that influence pharmacy students' willingness to cheat, describe attitudes regarding methods of cheating, assess prevalence of cheating and determine atmospheres that may aid in preventing academic dishonesty.
Third-professional year PharmD students at 4 institutions participated in a survey administered by a class representative.
Of the 296 students who completed survey instruments, 16.3% admitted to cheating during pharmacy school. Approximately 74% admitted that either they or their classmates had worked on an individual assignment with a friend. Students who cheated during high school or in a prepharmacy program were more likely to cheat during pharmacy school (p < 0.0001). Those who possessed a bachelor of science (BS) degree prior to pharmacy school were less likely to cheat (p < 0.0001).
Academic dishonesty is prevalent among pharmacy students. While few respondents directly admitted to cheating, many admitted to activities traditionally defined as dishonest.
确定影响药学专业学生作弊意愿的背景因素,描述对作弊方法的态度,评估作弊的普遍性,并确定有助于防止学术不诚实行为的氛围。
4所院校的三年级药学博士专业学生参与了由班级代表进行的一项调查。
在完成调查问卷的296名学生中,16.3%承认在药学院学习期间有过作弊行为。约74%的学生承认他们自己或其同学曾与朋友一起完成个人作业。在高中或药学预科项目中作弊的学生在药学院学习期间更有可能作弊(p<0.0001)。在进入药学院之前拥有理学学士学位的学生作弊的可能性较小(p<0.0001)。
学术不诚实在药学专业学生中很普遍。虽然很少有受访者直接承认作弊,但许多人承认有传统上被定义为不诚实的行为。
