dc.description.abstractPurpose: The primary goal of the project, in partnership with the Alberta Council on Contract Cheating (ACAI), is to understand post-secondary student experiences with contract cheating. As there is currently little information about contract cheating in Canada (and Alberta specifically), results from our research will address this need and will be used to create critical resources for students as they navigate academic integrity in the college setting. Methods: Survey research methodology will be utilized to collect self-reported experiences of contract cheating among college students. Well-established measures from the contract cheating research outside Canada will be employed (McCabe, 2005; Bretag et al., 2019). Data Sources: Data will be collected from students registered in a career program as of Fall 2021 term at a community college in Alberta, Canada. Implications: This study will provide much needed information about contract cheating for administrators and policy makers at post-secondary institutions. This study will also provide the means to create evidence-based resources for post-secondary students toward building a culture of academic integrity. Information collected as part of this survey will add to research on academic integrity by providing researchers a more comprehensive understanding of the types of and complexity in relationships among stressors (both in and outside the educational context) learners experience which may help explain contract cheating behaviours.en_US
