Abstract

This study explored the academic integrity of tertiary students during the pandemic. Sixty-six students and nine faculty members were participants in the study. Two adapted survey questionnaires and a validated researcher-made interview guide were used to obtain pertinent data. Quantitative results revealed that most students committed academic dishonesty; however, they considered those misconducts moderate cheating. Teachers observed that students committed cheating more than once; however, they only call students’ attention. Qualitative information showed that most students knew the importance of academic integrity; lack of time, procrastination, lack of comprehension, lack of study habits, having a job, low self-esteem, and having the desire to get better marks were the reasons why students committed academic misconduct. Students suggested that the academic institution needs to initiate innovations and implement stricter sanctions on those who committed academic misconduct. A pledge of academic honesty was developed for students to commit to academic integrity.
