The Preceptions of students and Teachers about The Level of The Sanctions for academic Integrity Violans: An Explanatory Sequential Design Study in a Nursing Education Program
Abstract: Professional
Behavior is a reflection of the professionalism, which includes academic
integrity. Some of student’s behavioral violations related to academic
integrity are influenced by perception. However, students and lecturers tend to
interpret these violations differently associated with severity of academic
integrity, for example, the sanction against violations of academic integrity.
Thus, these differences may contribute to the number of occurrences of academic
integrity violations. This study aims to identify the perception of nursing
students and lecturers about the level of sanctions for violations of academic
integrity.
Method: This study used a mixed method using a sequential explanatory
design. This was also a quantitative research survey using a questioner to 101
nursing students, followed by focus group discussion done by the students and
in-depth interviews to four lecturers.
Results: The behavior deemed not to be in violation was 1% -5.9%. Most
students chose sanction level 2 (21.8% - 66.35%), sanction level 3 (23.8% -
28.7%) and the highest sanction level or level 10 (19.8%)
Conclusion: The perception of students to the sanction level out of 22
items, 15 items nursing students chose sanction level 2 “verbal warning” (21.8%
- 66.35%), 2 items students chose sanction level 3 “written warning” (23.8%
-28.7%). The highest sanction level chosen was level 10 “reported to the professional
regulatory body” (19.8%). The lecturers assumed that mild sanction first given
was in the form of verbal warning and the toughest was being suspended.
