Is reflective writing a valid summative assessment in the era of GenAI? A scoping review
INTRODUCTION: Reflective practice is central to medical education at all levels and is commonly assessed using asynchronous written reflections. The emergence of new generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has led to concern that they may be used to generate written reflections and so to bypass the reflective process, potentially undermining the value of written reflections as a summative assessment. This scoping review asked whe…
How vulnerable are UK universities to cheating with new GenAI tools? A pragmatic risk assessment
There has been considerable speculation about the risk that new generative AI tools like ChatGPT pose to higher education, particularly assessments and cheating. However it is unclear how much risk the UK higher education sector is exposed to. This survey study used a modified list experiment to evaluate that risk. Most students surveyed were using GenAI, and almost all were frequently assessed using methods that are vulnerable to cheating with G…
What Does YouTube Advise Students About Bypassing AI-Text Detection Tools? A Pragmatic Analysis
This study investigates how YouTube videos are advising university students to use ChatGPT, focusing on two main aspects: bypassing detection tools for AI-generated text in written assignments and leveraging ChatGPT as a study tool, using thematic analysis of transcripts from 173 YouTube videos. Videos promoting the bypass of AI-generated text detection emphasize methods such as using AI detectors, “humanizing” text through rewriters, and blendin…
What is the student experience of remote proctoring? A pragmatic scoping review
Remote or online proctoring (invigilating) is a technology primarily used to improve the integrity of online examinations. The use of remote proctoring increased significantly as the world switched to online assessment during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Remote proctoring received negative media attention, including concerns about user privacy, discrimination and the accuracy of automated systems for detecting and reporting cheating. However, it is unc…
ChatGPT performance on multiple choice question examinations in higher education. A pragmatic scoping review
Media coverage suggests that ChatGPT can pass examinations based on multiple choice questions (MCQs), including those used to qualify doctors, lawyers, scientists etc. This poses a potential risk to the integrity of those examinations. We reviewed current research evidence regarding the performance of ChatGPT on MCQ-based examinations in higher education, along with recommendations for how educators might address challenges and benefits arising f…
How Common is Cheating in Online Exams and did it Increase During the Covid-19 Pandemic? A Systematic Review
Academic misconduct is a threat to the validity and reliability of online examinations, and media reports suggest that misconduct spiked dramatically in higher education during the emergency shift to online exams caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study reviewed survey research to determine how common it is for university students to admit cheating in online exams, and how and why they do it. We also assessed whether these self-reports of chea…
Prevalence of Medical Mistrust and Its Impact on Patient Satisfaction in Pediatric Caregivers
Associations between Sleep Quality and Heart Rate Variability
Given the ubiquitous nature of wearable technologies for monitoring health states, in particular HRV, it is important to consider the impacts of sleep states when using these technologies to interpret data. Very-low-frequency HRV during the stress task was found to be inversely related to three negative sleep indices: sleep quality, daytime dysfunction, and global sleep score
How Common Is Belief in the Learning Styles Neuromyth, and Does It Matter? A Pragmatic Systematic Review
A commonly cited use of Learning Styles theory is to use information from self-report questionnaires to assign learners into one or more of a handful of supposed styles (e.g., Visual, Auditory, Converger) and then design teaching materials that match the supposed styles of individual students. A number of reviews, going back to 2004, have concluded that there is currently no empirical evidence that this “matching instruction” improves learning, a…
The Case for Pragmatic Evidence-Based Higher Education
Arguments for and against the idea of evidence-based education have occupied the academic literature for decades. Those arguing in favor plead for greater rigor and clarity to determine “what works.” Those arguing against protest that education is a complex, social endeavor and that for epistemological, theoretical and political reasons it is not possible to state, with any useful degree of generalizable certainty, “what works.” While academics a…
A Pragmatic Master List of Action Verbs for Bloom's Taxonomy
Bloom’s Taxonomy is an approach to organising learning that was first published in 1956. It is ubiquitous in UK Higher Education (HE), where Universities use it as the basis for teaching and assessment; Learning Outcomes are created using suggested verbs for each tier of the taxonomy, and these are then ‘constructively aligned’ to assessments. We conducted an analysis to determine whether there is consensus regarding the presentation of Bloom’s T…
Contract cheating in Australian higher education
This article reports on one aspect of a nationally funded research project on contract cheating in Australian higher education. The project explored students' and educators’ experiences of contract cheating, and the contextual factors that may influence it. This article reports the key findings from non-university higher education providers (NUHEPs). It compares survey responses from 961 students and 91 educators at four NUHEPs with previously re…
Contract cheating and assessment design
This paper reports on findings from a large Australian research project that explored the relationship between contract cheating and assessment design. Using survey responses from 14,086 students and 1147 educators at eight universities, a multivariate analysis examined the influence of a range of factors on the likelihood that different assessment types would prompt considerations of contract cheating in students. Perceptions of likelihood were …
Contract cheating
If media reports are to be believed, Australian universities are facing a significant and growing problem of students outsourcing their assessment to third parties, a behaviour commonly known as ‘contract cheating’. Teaching staff are integral to preventing and managing this emerging form of cheating, yet there has been little evidence-based research to inform changes to their practice. This paper reports on the findings of a large-scale survey o…
Contract cheating
Recent Australian media scandals suggest that university students are increasingly outsourcing their assessments to third parties – a behaviour known as ‘contract cheating’. This paper reports on findings from a large survey of students from eight Australian universities (n = 14,086) which sought to explore students’ experiences with and attitudes towards contract cheating, and the contextual factors that may influence this behaviour. A spectrum …
Are we educating educators about academic integrity? A study of UK higher education textbooks
A substantial proportion of university students report committing plagiarism and related forms of misconduct. An academic integrity-focused approach to addressing plagiarism emphasises the promotion of positive values alongside education of staff and students about good, and bad, practice in writing, studying and assessment design. The concept was developed many years ago and is seen as desirable, yet it is not clear whether academic integrity fe…
Academic integrity
Establishing a positive, proactive approach to issues such as plagiarism requires that students are equipped with the skills and experience to act with integrity, and that educators are fully aware of the attitudes and ability of students, particularly when they start university. This project used a questionnaire-based methodology to probe the attitudes, ability and confidence of undergraduates newly enrolled at a university in the UK, with a foc…
William Brown's Hospital at Stamford
The documentary evidence relating to the foundation and early history of the almshouse founded by William Brown at Stamford is somewhat extensive and contradictory. The project was in hand towards the end of Edward IV's reign: an undated petition for letters patent for licence to establish the almshouse is extant, wherein reference is made to its chapel as being ‘lately built’. There is no record of this petition having been presented. However, o…
