Academic integrity awareness is up, for now

Students who are aware of cheating going on is way down – that might change

Studiosity’s latest student survey puts awareness of cheating going on at 15 per cent, half the figure for 2020. The study support service (and CMM advertiser) reports 25 per cent awareness in medicine down to 14 per cent in nursing.

Big majorities of students also report knowing how to avoid plagiarism and the consequences of not.

However, this all might change, “with the growing prominence of AI one hypothesis within the sector is that the normalised use of large language model tools may make students less aware that using a machine/tool to write your work could constitute cheating,” Studiosity states.
