Student cheating - 5 views

  •  
    I do not believe learners will cheat if they are made to feel they are capable learners with something to offer society, each other and their community. Also, seeing the consequences of cheating in their lives might make them think twice about it. Cheating denies each of us the right to self respect and earning what we have achieved, through hard work and desire to learn. Maybe cheating has more to do with the institution and instructors or professors than the learners.

    I agree, however, the challenge as a teacher is how to make large number of students capable learners. Technology provides us with additional tools to do so, but it is still difficult to provide the personal motivation and support that so often makes a difference with a student.
  •  
    It seems to me personal motivation and support are things instructors or profs need to help the students find.
  •  
    It's definitely a challenge. And there's more than just ability and intelligence at play. There are cultural factors involved in motivation and desire for learning. As a teacher, we sometimes have to recognize that we won't reach each and every student, but we just have to keep trying our best.

    Thanks for the great resource. Having only taught in a very small university, where classes average 15 students, you really get to know your students thinking, style of writing, etc. Yes, the comment made about cheating more likely to happen when a student feels "invisible" is probably common in larger university settings. I've put this link in my File section for future reference. Thanks, Joy.

    Your welcome Helene. I really liked the tips this woman gave me! I intend to try them for my bog!

    I found this site while researching this week's topics. I explored the site and watched the demo video, however, I could not find out how much this application costs. I do see how this could be a great tool to use for research papers, essays, all written assignments.

    In reading some additional blogs on this, it seems to be a reasonable tool in highlighting plagarism. Apparently, though, (based on the blogs I read), it matches correctly cited citations, so the raw score it provides needs to be examined better.
  •  
    Ann...I agree. Any tool needs further investigation...there are so many of these available. However, when I was teaching none of the campuses offered any of these applications as tools for the faculty.

    This tool is extremely expensive. It also requires students to contribute their work to a repository, where it will be compared to other work. My understanding is that BC is piloting this now.
  •  
    It would great to hear how BC's pilot goes. Can you email me how 'extremely expensive' it is?

    I saw a quote to a university that was over 50K.

    We have several secondary schools using it and they like it very much. It is a subscription cost per school but as thePO doesn't come through my office I am not sure how much it is. It probably varies by size of school.
