Academic Cheating can be viewed from a number of disciplinary and theoretical perspectives. Cheating in School.

In a manner corresponding to Falchikov (2005), This book is about how students have been, are, and may be involved assessment and It is for anyone in further or higher education to improve the practice of assessment generally or to provide students with as rich an educational experience as possible. Cheating on test is informally written using a minimum of professional jargon and numerous anecdotes and cases. Technical information is largely confined to end-of-book appendices.

The university at the undergraduate level sounds like a place where cheating comes almost as naturally as breathing, where it is an academic skill almost as important as reading, writing, math.

The modest correlations between self-esteem and school performance do not indicate that high self-esteem leads to good performance. Instead, high self-esteem is partly the result of good school performance. If efforts to boost self-esteem of pupils have not been shown to improve academic performance and may sometimes be counterproductive. Job performance in adults is sometimes related to self-esteem, although the correlations vary widely, and the direction of causality has not been established. Occupational success may boost self-esteem Rather than the reverse. Alternatively, self-esteem may be helpful only in some job contexts. Laboratory studies have generally failed to find self-esteem causes good task performance, with the important exception that high self-esteem facilitates persistence after
