Bicharaf

This research studies the effect of ICT on the levels of academic integrity witnessed in Lebanese schools. Over a period of 9 months, Bicharaf, the initiative for Academic Integrity and Business Ethics at the American University of Beirut, will conduct a research on 8,000 students from 40 private and public schools in Lebanon. This study will measure the impact of academic integrity awareness-raising campaigns conducted both online and offline. Two hypotheses will be tested: First, student engagement in academic integrity activities leads to lower levels of self-reported academic integrity violations; and second, that student engagement in academic integrity activities is positively related to student’s perceptions of the severity of academic integrity violations.
