在莫纳什大学计算机科学与软件工程学院，人们对IT专业学生中普遍存在的作弊行为表示担忧。来自工作人员的许多关于不同作弊事件的孤立报告，共同呈现了一个广泛和多方面的问题的观点。尽管有迹象表明，这些行为在本科和研究生课程的所有年级都存在，但问题的实际程度，以及是否有任何特定的学生群体更倾向于作弊行为，都很难衡量。许多研究调查了大学生作弊；然而，关于研究生的研究却很少。此外，对信息技术专业学生作弊行为的研究也很缺乏。在一些关于学生作弊的报道中，人们倾向于笼统地看待这个问题，而解决这个问题的预防或教育措施并没有区别于本科生和研究生。令人关切的是，不注重某一特定群体所表现出的态度或行为的战略没有达到应有的效果。这里报告的研究结果表明，在对作弊的态度和作弊行为方面，IT专业的本科生和研究生存在差异。该研究假设了成熟度、动机和欺骗行为之间的关系。本文探讨了造成这种情况的可能原因，并提出了对未来教育方案设计的影响。
Within the School of Computer Science and Software Engineering of Monash University concerns have been raised about the prevalence of cheating amongst the IT students. Many isolated reports from staff of different cheating incidents collectively present a view of a problem that is widespread and multifaceted. Although indications are that these practices exist across all year levels in both undergraduate and graduate programmes, the actual extent of the problem, and whether any particular groups of students are more inclined to cheating behaviours, is difficult to gauge. Many studies have investigated undergraduate cheating; however, there have been very few studies of graduate students. Furthermore, there is a scarcity of studies of the cheating behaviour of information technology students. In some reporting of student cheating there is a tendency to take a general view of the problem, and preventative or educative measures to address this problem do not differentiate between undergraduate and graduate students. It is of concern that strategies that do not focus on attitudes or behaviours that are exhibited by a particular group are not as effective as they could be. The results of the study reported here show that there are differences between the undergraduate and graduate IT students in regard to their attitudes towards cheating and practice of cheating. The study hypothesises a relationship between maturity and motivation, and cheating behaviour. The possible reasons for this are explored and implications for the design of future education programmes are presented.
