Description
Cheating Lessons: Learning from Academic Dishonesty by James M. Lang is a thought-provoking exploration of why students cheat and how to prevent it. Research suggests that nearly three-quarters of college students engage in academic dishonesty, but the author argues that this is often due to flawed learning environments rather than a lack of moral fibre. Lang identifies specific features of course design and classroom practice that create opportunities for cheating, such as high-stakes assessments and arbitrary grading criteria. He offers practical strategies for teachers to create more effective learning environments that foster intrinsic motivation, promote mastery, and instill self-efficacy. By tackling academic dishonesty at its roots, educators can not only prevent cheating but also improve student performance overall. This book provides a valuable guide for instructors looking to create more effective learning environments and become better educators in the process.
