摘要

The pandemic forced teachers around the world to re-think their instructional design, whereby traditional face-to-face instructions and assessments were replaced with unfamiliar online methods, almost overnight. In studies 1 and 2 (n = 602 teachers and 320 students, respectively), we examined the perceptions of teachers and students on students’ integrity when taking assessments on-campus versus online. In study 3 (n = 177 students), we examined the impact of honesty priming on students’ experience of their own behaviors during online assessments. We found that while teachers believed that students cheat more in online assessments as compared to on-campus assessments, students perceived the opposite. Further, when students were reminded of the importance of ethics, cheating behaviors went down significantly. We discuss our findings, highlight implications for academic leaders and teachers, and offer suggestions for future research.
