Özet:
The topic of student cheating at higher education has been studied empirically for more than 80 years in the U.S.,and has become a subject of concern in the rest of the world, where academic research has spread to other continents. However, institutional research has just begun in South American countries, where studies and surveys conducted in higher education institutions may not exceed twenty studies. This study aimed to encourage further research on this area with a hope to set the parameter that can make further studies in Ecuador comparable and with research in other parts of the world. With the goal of obtaining first-hand information on student perceptions of what constitutes as an act of cheating, the data collected was analyzed using a series of two independent samples t-tests, one-way Analysis of Vatiances (ANOVA) and multiple linear regressions. Results showed that age was a good predictor if explaining variation in one's perceptions of cheating behaviors. Gender was also found to be a significant predictor of cheating perceptions related to assignments and data. Finally, sele-reported GPA was significantly related to cheating perceptions on plagiarism. This study hopefully will set a footprint that can be followed by other researchers in the future and further help faculty, students, administrators and practitioners establish ethical standards among Ecuadorian institutions and remind everyone that the main objective of higher education is learning, not simply approving classes in order to obtain a title or diploma.
