The influence of academic cheating in professional formation: student´s perceptions
This article is based on the results of ethnographic research entitled: “Attitudes towards academic fraud in university” developed in the city of Pasto. “This research used different data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, write-in-the-board and questionnaires. This information was analyzed with the method called “distill information”. Conclusions derived from this method offer contrasting results with nationally and internationally reputed research studies, which warn about adverse effects fraud may have in the quality of educational processes, mostly in the scenario of a favorable opinion toward academic cheating.
