Abstract

This research study examines teachers’ perceptions of academic dishonesty in the writings of EFL students in the context of AI. The study involved 67 teachers who provided their perspectives through questionnaires and interviews. The findings indicate a mixed perception among teachers regarding the benefits of AI technologies for students, with some acknowledging advantages while others expressed concerns about its impact on academic integrity. Teachers unanimously agreed on the negative influence of AI on students’ commitment to academic honesty, perceiving it as enabling dishonesty and hindering skill development. The study highlights the role of teachers in detecting AI-generated assignments and emphasizes the need for addressing ethical implications. Strategies identified include problem-solving activities, plagiarism detection tools, and integration of AI in teaching practices. While some teachers acknowledged challenges in detecting AI-related academic dishonesty, the study underscores the importance of comprehensive training and support for teachers to utilize AI effectively while preserving academic integrity. The study concludes by calling for institutions and policymakers to prioritize ethical considerations and develop guidelines for the responsible use of AI in education.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
