"Why do students cheat, and what can we do about it? This question has risen to the top of mind for everyone involved in higher education. A precipitous rise in academic misconduct has been reported in the industry press, newspapers, and television, leaving many to wonder what exactly has changed so dramatically. This book, an edited volume of research from experts across all academic disciplines, provides an overview of some of the most important topics and trends in academic integrity research with a focus on teaching, classrooms, and faculty behavior. The editors bring together some of the best-known and most influential researchers in academic integrity from disciplines such as education, psychology, and computer science to review the state of the field given the past 30 years of scholarship and to provide a glimpse into the future of the field. The book will consist of an introduction to the field, including some history, key concepts, and a framing of the huge challenges that cheating poses not just to higher education, but civil society as a whole. Following the introduction will be 5-7 chapters reviewing different aspects of the literature. There will be discussions of "paper mills" and online cheating, the importance of pedagogical changes to reducing cheating, the role of student motivation, and others (listed below). It will conclude with predictions about the future, practical applications of the current literature, and a call to action"-- Provided by publisher.
