摘要：Purpose:This study aimed to investigate students’ cheating behaviors,perceptions,and risk factors for cheating. Methods:The author conducted a questionnaire survey of 375 undergraduate students at the Dankook University College of Dentistry in 2017. The questionnaires consisted of three parts:individual information,a moral sensitivity test,and cheating behaviors. Students rated whether they were involved in 28 cheating behaviors and their intolerant attitude for each behavior. Each student received a cheating grade of severity and diversity from 0 to 4 according to the degree of commitment in cheating behaviors. Chi-square and correlation tests were performed among cheating grades,individual factors,and moral sensitivity. Results:Most students admitted having engaged in at least one cheating behavior (92.2%). School years,intolerant attitudes towards cheating,perceived prevalence,study time,and academic performance showed significant correlations with students’ cheating grades. Conclusion:These findings indicated that cheating behaviors were a very serious and prevalent problem at this dental college in South Korea. This is a critical issue that must be addressed. Dental school faculty members need to work together to develop policies,ethics curriculum and to improve students’ attitudes. It is also important to encourage students to learn and devote their time to study to reduce cheating behaviors.
