“…The Subject University has schools of business and engineering that, according to previous research, enroll students who are among the most likely to cheat in college. In a survey of students at 31 colleges in the United States, 87% of students in business majors reported academic integrity violations (Callahan, Dworkin, & von Dran, 2008). This study further revealed that students planning business careers were more likely to engage in dishonesty than any other occupational category.…”

This article reports on an institutional study of academic integrity based on two different sources: reporting of incidents over a six-year period (2001-2006) and a campus-wide survey administered in 2008. Findings are that academic dishonesty is widespread and increasing, yet 40% of the academic staff responding admitted they had taken no steps regarding a suspected incident of cheating due to insufficient proof. Among college students, freshmen and sophomores are more frequently reported for cheating than juniors and seniors, and international students are overrepresented compared with domestic students. The proportion of integrity charges against females was less than their proportion of student enrollment, and there exists a perception gap between students and academic staff in the seriousness of a number of actions. The most frequent offence was students working with peers when asked for individual work. This may be indicative of a change of the value systems of young people compared to older generations, and former strategies to promote integrity may be less valid today. More emphasis needs to be put on structural approaches to reduce or eliminate opportunities to cheat, and the educational aspect of dishonest actions should be further strengthened.

Although we do not know for sure the causes of this, students have rationalised their conduct by reference to time pressures and competition (Callahan et al, 2008).…”

“…This is evidenced when the researcher asks the factors that cause the subject to give an answer or help his friend in doing the task, the subject then answers "so as not to be opposed by his friend" and "because he was scolded by his friend if not giving an answer". The pressure felt by students' forces them to commit fraud in order to maintain friendships, avoid rejection, or avoid social accusations given by peers (Jiang, Emmerton, & McKauge, 2013;Geddes, 2011;Zimny, Robertson, & Bartoszek, 2008;Callahan, Dworkin, & Dranvon, 2001).…”

The character of students' academic integrity is currently one of the concerns in the world of education. Many cases of dishonesty in the educational environment are indicative of the low level of student academic integrity. One effort that can be done to grow it is by using comic media. Comic media are expected can develop the character of academic integrity of elementary school students through visualization and story content about academic integrity. The purpose of this study was to determine the tendency of the character of academic integrity of elementary school students when using educational comics. This research used a qualitative research with case study method. The data was collected by observation, interviews, and documentation technique. Based on the results of the study note that there are differences in levels between aspects of student behavior and belief in academic integrity. These differences made the behavior inconsistent with their beliefs about academic integrity. Educational comics in learning activities have a positive impact, students responded enthusiastically when reading comics and students feel motivated by the form of images and stories that are displayed so that it helps students understand the concepts of values contained in academic integrity.
