Academic dishonesty as a multidimensional construct in contemporary higher education

A study conducted at a private Peruvian university investigated academic dishonesty, confirming it as a persistent, multidimensional issue within higher education. Using a quantitative, non-experimental design with 333 participants, the research identified a robust two-dimensional structure of academic dishonesty, which compromises learning quality, evaluative equity, and students' ethical development.

Understanding the multidimensional nature of academic dishonesty is crucial for institutions to develop effective strategies for upholding educational integrity. It directly impacts the perceived value of academic qualifications and the ethical development of future professionals, which is vital for societal trust and progress.
