    Academic Integrity: Faculty Development Needs for Canadian Higher Education - Research Project Brief
    (2019-05-28) Crossman, Katie; Eaton, Sarah Elaine; Garwood, Kim; Stoesz, Brenda M.; McKenzie, Amanda; Cepuran, Brian; Kocher, Rose
    This collaborative project includes researchers from four Canadian universities (University of Calgary, University of Guelph, University of Manitoba , University of Waterloo), as well as partners from D2L. This is the inaugural project associated with the D2L Innovation Guild. The purpose of this research is to understand faculty perceptions and needs related to academic integrity in Canadian higher education. This mixed-methods study will include a survey to be administered to faculty at four Canadian institutions. The survey designed for this research project will be informed by previous research (i.e. McCabe, 1993). The first stage of this project includes a detailed literature review on faculty perceptions of academic integrity in Canada and globally. This literature review is meant to inform the development of a survey tool and the research methods. The survey tool will be designed to capture qualitative and quantitative data based on the faculty responses about academic integrity in Canada. The goal of this research is to explore and better understand how faculty members in Canadian higher education institutions support academic integrity. Key words: academic integrity, faculty, plagiarism, post-secondary, higher education, Canada

    Academic Integrity: Faculty Development Needs for Canadian Higher Education - Research Report
    (2021-02-08) Eaton, Sarah Elaine; Stoesz, Brenda M.; Crossman, Katherine; Garwood, Kim; McKenzie, Amanda
    Purpose: The purpose of this research was to understand faculty perceptions and needs related to academic integrity in Canadian higher education (i.e., project objectives 1 and 2). Methods: We developed a mixed-methods survey for this project. The survey was validated through the use of a think-aloud protocol during pilot testing. The survey was administered at four Canadian universities (i.e., University of Calgary, University of Guelph, University of Manitoba, and University of Waterloo). Recruitment took place during the Fall 2020 term, with responses collected via Qualtrics, an online survey tool. Results: We analyzed responses submitted by 395 participants. Responses generally indicated inconsistencies among respondents about their knowledge and perceptions about how to uphold academic integrity and address breaches of it. There was consistency across respondents about some items, such as how smaller class sizes better support academic integrity. Implications: These results contribute to the growing body of empirical evidence about academic integrity in Canadian higher education. This is the inaugural project associated with the D2L Innovation Guild. Administrative support was provided by D2L.
