Abstract EN
The current study aims at exploring the causes of cheating in tests and directing teachers’ attention towards the most effective strategies for avoiding it.
Within this scope, a questionnaire was administered to uncover the prevalence of cheating in higher education and to detect its causes.
Findings revealed that 70.70% from second-year students admitted that they have cheated in tests.
Furthermore, the following three causes were rank-ordered in the first three positions respectively: competition for grades, parental expectations, and ineffective invigilation by the teacher.
Accordingly, strategies for avoiding cheating and preserving academic integrity were explained mainly through raising students’ consciousness about moral values.
