Abstract
This project investigates whether academic integrity (AI) can be strengthened through a multi-pronged educative approach that combines compulsory modules on AI, pedagogy that challenges punitive approaches, and an embedded curriculum. We compare qualitative data from before and after the introduction of a compulsory module and a new AI management system and consider survey and interview responses from students to investigate their experiences and perceptions of our approach. While preliminary findings indicate no reduction in the number of AI breaches, qualitative data suggests students appreciate the educative approach, which fosters agency. Even among (i) students who indicated they had been part of an AI breach process and (ii) students who knew someone else who had been involved in the process, most expressed that the process itself led to a greater understanding of AI generally and students felt they could address the issue for themselves and into the future. Survey and interview responses indicated students wanted to have a voice in the AI process. We argue that the multi-pronged educative approach improves students’ agency in relation to their academic work and frames academic integrity as a positive and desirable aspect of students’ developing academic identities.
