摘要

The present work investigates students’ perceptions of academic integrity and their willingness to report academic misconduct. It also investigates their attitudes towards a potential academic misconduct reporting tool at Munster Technological University (MTU). Based on an in-depth qualitative study of four focus groups, the research explores how students make sense of academic integrity and their emotional response to potential reporting. Results suggest that while honesty and fairness are important to students, their understanding of what constitutes misconduct and institutional policies is often limited, influenced by peer culture and confidence in institutional procedures. What emerged was tentative student support for an MTU-wide misconduct tool, conditional on anonymity, transparency and procedural justice.
