Crime without punishment: An update review of the determinants of cheating among university students
The issue of cheating is a serious problem since it can call the efficiency of an education system into question. Furthermore, it is a devaluing factor in the country's stock of human capital. A student who copies is a free-rider, in the sense that he/she gains a higher grade than that merited by the actual amount of effort expended on study. In addition, it makes it impossible for teachers to fully achieve the goal of effective dissemination to, and acquisition of knowledge by, students. This paper conceptually and methodologically systematizes the phenomenon of academic fraud. Distinct forms of theorizing illegal behaviours are examined, adapting Beckerâs crime model (1968) to cheating. A systematic review of the literature has allowed certain direct determinants of the probability of âcopyingâ, not yet investigated, to be identified, viz: 1) the âadvantagesâ, in terms of a higher grade, that students see themselves as gaining from fraudulent behaviour in comparison with not indulging in it; 2) the breakdown of studentsâ grades by nature of discipline - âreasoningâ versus âcrammingâ; and 3) the existence or otherwise of a code of honour in universities. As a result, this paper proposes a new, âexpandedâ, econometric specification for estimating cheating (i.e., the probability of âcopyingâ) based on an analysis of the expected cost-benefit, according to Beckerâs model.crime, cheating, university, human capital
College cheating in Portugal: results from a large scale survey
The phenomenon of cheating among academics is of overwhelming importance in that the students engaging in it are most unlikely to have the skills necessary for their future professional life. Despite its relevance, the empirical evaluation of college cheating has been almost exclusively focused on the US context. Little is known about college cheating at the European level let alone Portugal. Less even in investigated at the regional level. In this paper we present evidence on cheating perception by Portuguese undergraduate students of economics and business courses. We undertake a large scale survey, involving 2675 students from all Portuguese mainland public universities. We found that (1) the likelihood of copying is increased when the expected benefit in terms of grade is positive; (2) copying-favourable environments â the high frequency with which students observe the act of copying, familiarity with someone that copies regularly, and the studentsâ opinion regarding copying â are associated with higher cheating propensity; (3) the higher and more serious students perceive sanctions, fewer incentives they have to perpetrate dishonest behaviours â in universities where âcodes of honourâ exist, the propensity for copying among students is lower; (4) the propensity for copying seems to be highly influenced by regionsâ cultural systems and social related factors - students who reside on a permanent basis in southern, inland regions, especially in Alentejo-related areas, present a significantly higher propensity to academic fraud than students from other areas of Portugal.cheating; university; cost/benefit; regions
Identificando a geometria nas construçÔes indĂgenas
Atualmente, a escola vive sempre procurando acompanhar as constantes transformaçÔes do mundo âglobalizadoâ, e isso se transforma numa luta, Ă s vezes desigual, pela conquista do universo dos estudantes tĂŁo bombardeado de novidades audiovisuais e eletrĂŽnicas. Neste trabalho, mostraâse como a partir do estudo do meio, foi possĂvel despertar o interesse de estudantes brasileiros do ensino mĂ©dio pela Geometria presente na construção da maloca de indĂgenas Uitoto da AmazĂŽnia colombiana. Mostra tambĂ©m, que alĂ©m dos meios tecnolĂłgicos disponĂveis, o professor de matemĂĄtica pode utilizar os recursos existentes na comunidade ou na prĂłpria escola como objeto de ensino atrativo, pois tudo depende da forma como este objeto irĂĄ ser usado
Ageing and Quality of Life - New Responses from the Real Estate Sector in Portugal
In the second half of the 20th century, the history of European demography is associated with a pronounced and widespread process of ageing. The 21st century will have to cater to the needs of an elderly population in transformation. Portugal is also part of this process and in efforts to improve the quality of life of the elderly, a wide range of facilities, services and social responses have been established by a variety of promoters, targeting several social levels. This paper will analyze a specific segment directed at an exclusive niche of the elderly population, the Senior Residential Condominiums. This is a very recent segment of the housing market, with high levels of comfort, quality, sanitation, health, and recreation, essential to full well-being. The paper intends to characterize this real estate market niche so as to identify its distinctive features, the promoting agents and how they can contribute to residents' quality of life
As PolĂticas de Acesso ao Ensino Superior do Governo Lula: ReflexĂ”es para o Debate
O texto trata das polĂticas de acesso ao ensino superior propostas pelo Governo Lula. Enfatiza o Programa Universidade Para Todos e a PolĂtica de Cotas para a inclusĂŁo dos segmentos populares e dos negros, pardos e Ăndios nas instituiçÔes privadas e pĂșblicas de educação superior. Estas polĂticas sĂŁo analisadas no Ăąmbito das propostas e medidas mais amplas para a educação superior, implementadas no Brasil a partir dos anos 1990. Nesse sentido, consideramos que o Governo Lula dĂĄ continuidade e aprofunda a lĂłgica instrumental do modelo neoliberal, que concebe a educação superior como custo e nĂŁo como investimento no sentido da formação de cidadĂŁos crĂticos e, portanto, de uma nação autĂŽnoma e soberana. O governo em questĂŁo propĂ”e a democratização do acesso pela via privada, em troca de significativa renĂșncia fiscal e ensino de qualidade duvidosa (Programa Universidade Para Todos) e pela via pĂșblica, reservando vagas para estudantes provenientes das escolas pĂșblicas, afrodescendentes e indĂgenas nas universidades federais (PolĂtica de Cotas). Neste caso, os critĂ©rios nĂŁo sĂŁo baseados na origem de classe dos cotistas, jĂĄ que nĂŁo se exige renda mĂnima para os beneficiĂĄrios, tendo como conseqĂŒĂȘncia menor inclusĂŁo social
Indefinities and bare nouns in generic contexts in European Portuguese
FR: Le principal but de ce travail est de décrire le comportement des indéfinis sans modification adjectivale en position de sujet préverbal dans des contextes génériques et
de montrer leur rapport avec les noms nus en portugais européen (PE).
Il est possible de signaler une différence dans la distribution des noms nus en position de sujet préverbal entre les langues germaniques et les langues romanes :
l'emploi des noms comptables au pluriel et des noms massifs est grammatical en
anglais, trÚs restreint en italien, espagnol et PE, et agrammatical en français.
En nous fondant sur les critĂšres Ă©tablis par Dowty (1979) pour la distinction entre
événements et états et sur la distinction proposée par Cunha (2004) entre les éventualités admettant des phases et les éventualités ne les admettant pas, nous établis- sons une corrélation entre la distribution des noms nus et des indéfinis en position
sujet préverbal dans le PE et différents types de prédicats.
En synthétisant les étalons obtenus dans la description des données, nous combinons
(suivant Duarte et al., 2002, et Oliveira et al., 2006) la valeur de chacun des prédicats considérés et la valeur respective du sujet, dans le but d'établir les propriétés
des noms nus et des indéfinis en position de sujet préverbal dans le PE, notamment
en ce qui concerne les contextes génériques qui les autorisent. Nous montrerons que
soit les indéfinis soit les noms nus fonctionnent de façon différente dans cette position-là selon leur forme singuliÚre ou plurielle.The main goal of this work is to describe how singular and plural indefinites without
modification in preverbal subject position behave in generic contexts and how they relate to bare nouns in European Portuguese (EP) in the same position and con- texts.
In what concerns the distribution of bare nouns (BN) in subject preverbal position
without modifiers, a contrast between Germanic and Romance languages has been
noticed: plural count nouns and mass nouns are grammatical in English, but not in French and they are quite restricted in Italian, Spanish and EP.
Based on the criteria established by Dowty (1979) for distinguishing states from
events and on the distinction proposed by Cunha (2004) between phase and non phase eventualities, we establish a correlation between the distribution of BN and
indefinites in preverbal subject position in EP and different types of predicates.
Having summarized the patterns obtained by the data description, we combine (following Duarte et al., 2002, and Oliveira et al., 2006) the predicate value of each of
the considered predicates and their corresponding subject value, in order to account
for the properties of the BNs and indefinites preverbal subjects in EP, namely with
respect to the generic contexts that allow them. It will be showed that both indefinites and BNs behave differently in such position depending on their singular or
plural form
EurĂpides (Ifigenia en Ăulide), rediseñador de Esquilo (AgamenĂłn) El sacrificio de Ifigenia: un escenario de emociones
Aunque el contraste entre el mĂĄs antiguo de los tres grandes trĂĄgicos atenienses - Esquilo - y el mĂĄs reciente e innovador - EurĂpides â estĂ© consagrado desde la crĂtica literaria que les fue contemporĂĄnea, en particular los cĂłmicos, la verdad es que un anĂĄlisis minucioso de ambos permite darle un retoque a esta que era una opiniĂłn intuitiva. De hecho, y aunque lo haga para comprometerse con nuevas interpretaciones, EurĂpides es, sin duda, un espectador atento de Esquilo; y si queremos encontrar, para sus creaciones innovadoras, un modelo en la tragedia anterior, Ă©l serĂĄ, seguramente, mucho mĂĄs evidente en Esquilo que en SĂłfocles, teniendo en cuenta solamente a estos tres grandes nombres.Universidad de MĂĄlaga.
