Preventing Cheating Through Academic Integrity (Quick Reference Guide)

Prevent cheating by building a culture of academic integrity in the classroom.

Rapid technological advances have made it tougher than ever to detect when students are cheating. Consequently, many teachers resort to a "catch and punish" approach that fails to address the root causes of the problem—which include grade anxiety, performance pressure, and even a distrust of busywork.

This quick reference guide helps educators shift the focus from reactive punishment to proactive prevention. Teaching and learning expert Tony Frontier provides guiding principles and actionable strategies that help foster a classroom culture in which students embrace academic integrity. You'll learn how to

• Recognize the conditions that tempt students to cheat—and take steps to avoid them.
• Create clear classroom procedures that build teacher–student trust.
• Design units, lessons, activities, and projects that motivate students to act with integrity.

To bridge the gap while this culture is taking shape, Frontier shares information on multiple cheating-detection methods, outlining the strengths and limitations of each.

Preventing Cheating Through Academic Integrity helps teachers and students work together to build a classroom culture where honesty and transparency are valued and cheating isn't an option or even a thought.
