Attitudes of university students to academic cheating - sample situations analysis.
ŽALUD, Jakub
The presented bachelor thesis deals with the attitude of university students towards academic cheating. It focuses mainly on student´s attitudes and reasons for these attitudes. The theoretical part contains concepts related to academic cheating for better orientation in this issue. In the empirical part, the attitude of college students towards academic cheating has been investigated. The research group consisted of 6 respondents, currently studying at university. Research shows that respondent´s attitudes to academic cheating are frequently inhomogeneous. This may refer to a different personal experience, to the unacceptability of cheating based on generally valid school standards or to the various personalities of the respondents. Some consensus among respondents appears especially in situations that respondents tend to evaluate as more serious (theft, betrayal of trust or theft of intellectual property). Also, there is a tendency for respondents to react mildly towards academic cheating that is considered to be prevalent.

Interprofessional and intergeneration differences in attitudes towards cheating
HÁJKOVÁ, Barbora
This thesis deals with the issue of academic dishonesty, especially what effect have age, field of study and proffesion on the differences in attitudes towards cheating. The theoretical part is devoted to the phenomenon of cheating, describes the factors that influence its occurrence and in what forms may be present. Furthermore, the author focuses on the definition and description of generations and the issue of pedagogical profession ethics. In the empirical part was examined whether age and academic or professional orientation affects attitudes towards cheating and its frequency. The research sample consisted of 120 respondents who were divided into four groups: students of pedagogical disciplines, educators, students of non-teaching/non-helping disciplines and other professions (also non-teaching/non-helping). The resulting data show that attitudes towards cheating are influenced by age. Especially, the strictness of assessment of cheating increases with age. Differences in attitudes toward cheating were not found between students of different disciplines; at the same time, there were found between different professions. Furthermore, it appears that current students are confronted with cheating more often than previous generations.
