Abstract:
During their studies, many students commit some form of academic
dishonesty, such as cheating and plagiarism, often to obtain higher grades than
they are capable of. The current widespread use of the Internet, mobile and
wireless devices has made it easier for students to illegally access information
and at the same time it has become difficult for academic institutions to control
and discover such instances. Hence, it is essential that students become aware
of the seriousness of these offences and be encouraged to avoid them. In this
study, the attitude towards cheating and plagiarism among female students in
the College of Computer and Information Sciences (CCIS) at King Saud University,
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was studied. We aim to highlight the most prevailing practices,
the underlying reasons, the popular sources of illegal information and the conception
of students towards the ethicalness of exercising such practices. The results
of the study indicate that both cheating and plagiarism are common among our
students, despite the fact that most of them believe that they are unethical
and against religious values. After having analyzed the results, we tried to
propose some recommendations that may help combat cheating and plagiarism among
students in higher education.
