Academic Dishonesty and Testing: How Student Beliefs and Test Settings Impact Decisions to Cheat

Research shows that academic dishonesty in post-secondary education runs particularly high among students in the specific disciplines of engineering, business, and nursing. The authors were interested in how student attitudes towards specific environments for testing might contribute to the prevalence or likelihood of cheating on tests and exams. It was hypothesized that while there would be no difference in their beliefs or attitudes regarding the acceptability of cheating behaviors in unproctored versus proctored settings, students would be more likely to engage in cheating behavior in an unproctored setting. Technology continues to transform the world around us at a rapid pace, allowing faculty to incorporate more technology into the classroom and to educate more students remotely via hybrid and online classes. While these opportunities have their benefits, they also present new challenges. The opportunity for cheating on tests increases, especially when exams are delivered in unproctored environments. An instrument was created to investigate the attitudes and behaviors of first- and second-year undergraduate engineering students while taking tests in both proctored and unproctored environments. In all, 734 students were surveyed from four different institutions of higher education. Students provided both qualitative and quantitative responses to questions related to their beliefs and attitudes toward cheating in today’s socially shareable society. Results indicated that both students’ attitudes and behaviors vary as a result of tests being delivered in a proctored versus unproctored environment

Pemanfaatan Limbah Brungki sebagai Bahan Pembuatan Seni Patung dengan Teknik Ukir Bertema Ekspresi Wajah Manusia

Seni patung dikatakan seni murni, sejauh ia tidak terikat oleh kebutuhan terapan. Proses pembuatannya pun dari bahan yang beraneka ragam mulai dari batu, fiberglass, maupun kayu.

Deaf Workers Prioritized Workplace Expectations: A Qualitative Study

Employment can still be problematic for many deaf workers, especially those who are prelingually deaf. This article reports qualitative research regarding workplace behavior expectations of deaf workers and their hearing employers. This piece focuses on the signed responses of the participants (N =24) ranking job competencies. The results indicate a lack of correspondence between the respondents and their employers. This article supports the idea of rehabilitation counselors, employers and deaf employees utilizing Correspondence Theory as a framework for ensuring successful job placements for prelingually deaf adults

Psychosocial Aspects of Deafness: Implications for Rehabilitation Counselors

Negative societal attitudes toward people with hearing loss can be handicapping. Because of their deafness, people face a multitude of external barriers which become their handicap. The primary barriers or handicaps to this underserved population are two fold, inaccessibility to appropriate services during important milestones in their lives and a misunderstanding of Deaf culture. Rehabilitation counselors are advised to become aware of the types of interventions their Deaf consumers had as children through their education and socialization for in sight to appropriate services. Also discussed is the importance of communication and employer involvement in reducing societal stereotypes

Berbagai Teknik Pengolahan Terhadap Kualitas Ikan Tongkol (Eutynnus SP) Afkir Sebagai Pakan Ternak

Rejected little tuna (Eutynnus sp) is alternative feed ingredient which same quality to commercial fish meal and the price is relatively cheaper. The aim of this research were to study the interaction between the salt level with time of steaming on the nutritional content (dry matter, crude protein, extract ether, crude fiber, calcium and phosphorus) of rejected little tuna meal. The experimental design was completely randomized design (CRD) 3 x 3 factorial pattern with 3 replications. The first factor was level of salting (A) (A1 = 2.5 %, A2 = 5.0%, A3 = 7.5%) the second factor was times of steaming (B) (B1 = 15 min, B2 = 30 min, B3 = 45 minutes). The results showed that the interaction between the level of salt to the time of steaming can maintain quality of rejected little tuna fish processed, it was seen with increasing of nutrient content of crude protein of rejected little tuna (50.16-64.42%), and the processing of rejected little tuna by salting and steaming highly significant effect (P <0.01) and there is a higly significant interaction (P <0.01) through the on dry matter and extract ether rejected little tuna processed. In conclusion, the processing of rejected little tuna by salting and steaming can maintain quality of rejected little tuna, it was seen with increasing of nutrient especially on crude protein (50.16-64.42), so that it can be used as animal feed

Promoting solar water disinfection in schools: experiences and lessons learnt in Latin America

Assessments of WASH promotion programmes showed that it is difficult to produce sustainable habit changes at community level. Teaching of children and transferring the message from school to the community is a promising approach to increase impact and sustainability. The Fundación SODIS implemented projects promoting household water treatment, with a special focus on solar water disinfection, and improved hygiene in more than 1,000 schools in Latin America, training more than 8'000 teachers and 170'000 Students. The experiences made during these projects showed that children do assimilate new behaviour faster and better than adults and that they can function as triggers for behaviour change and consolidation of new habits in the community. The most important factor to support assimilation was the ritual combination of elements to a complex behaviour pattern. Implementation of SODIS in small, rural schools was very successful, while promotion in big urban schools encountered difficulties

Perceptions of Collegial and Uncollegial Behaviors After a University Consolidation: A Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of How Faculty Viewed Members of Their New Academic Units

Much has been written about collegiality in academe, most notably by Cipriano (2011), Buller (2006, 2012), and Cipriano and Buller (2012, 2017), Flaherty (2013). Concomitantly, awareness has increased about instances of abusive supervision (Gere, 2020), incivility (Andersson & Pearson, 1999), microaggressions (Sue & Rivera, 2011) bullying and mobbing (i.e., group bullying) in the workplace and in higher education (Cowan, 2009), Duffy (2009), Lutgen-Sandvik (2006), Lutgen-Sandvik and Tracy (2012), Heeman (2007), Lutgen-Sandvik & McDermott (2011), and Taylor (2012). Instances of incivilities have continued to be a concern as evident in the journal article in Nature titled: “Astronomers victimized colleagues—and put historic Swedish department in turmoil,” in which Witze (2021) reported that two high ranking faculty members (one male, one female) were investigated and found responsible for bullying at Lund University. Bullying in the academy is not confined to one country, one discipline, or one gender. Based on a review of the literature on university consolidations and on collegiality in academic settings, the research team found that there was a gap in the literature regarding how participants of a university consolidation (sometimes called mergers) perceive their environment in a departmental (or equivalent unit level), especially a “new” unit that has been formed because of the consolidation of two or more units from previously existing (legacy) institutions. Cipriano and Buller (2012) have used the CAM (Collegiality Assessment Matrix) and/or the Self-Assessment Matrix of Collegiality (SAM), proprietary instruments, to measure the “collegiality” of individuals in academic departments. However, there has not been an assessment of collegiality from a “departmental or equivalent unit” level perspective. This study, therefore, addresses this “gap” in the research. Moreover, this study expands the discussion of collegiality to include the identification of perceived uncollegial (conflict) behaviors of incivility, microaggressions (such as misogynistic statements), bullying, and mobbing
