RESUMEN
Objetivos. Estimar la proporción de estudiantes de una escuela de ciencias de la salud con una conducta académica deshonesta y conocer su opinión respecto a la realización de esta conducta. Método. Se utilizó un cuestionario autoadministrado, anónimo y voluntario, que se entregó a todos los estudiantes de la Escuela Universitaria de Enfermería, Fisioterapia y Nutrición Blanquerna, en febrero de 2004. El cuestionario tenía 3 bloques en el primero se pretendía valorar la conducta académica durante los exámenes, las prácticas y la presentación de trabajos; en el segundo, la opinión de los estudiantes respecto al hecho de copiar, y en el tercero, el conocimiento que los estudiantes tenían acerca de la conducta deshonesta de sus compañeros. Resultados. Se recogieron 468 cuestionarios (participación del 42,5%). Un 28% (120/468) (intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%, 19,11-26,7) declaró haber copiado durante un examen. El 20% (IC del 95%, 16,6-23,9) dijo haber copiado textos idénticos de otras fuentes sin citar su origen. Dejar el trabajo a otros compañeros para que sirviera de modelo lo había hecho un 49,7% (IC del 95%, 45,1-54,2). Un 68% (IC del 95%, 64,1-72,5) dijo que en algún momento de la carrera todos tienen una conducta deshonesta. La única sanción que creen que se debería aplicar sería invalidar el trabajo, examen o ejercicio; un 20% consideró innecesaria ninguna sanción. Conclusiones. Los alumnos estudiados no difieren mucho de los de otros países en cuanto a copiar exámenes, plagiar trabajos o utilizar material de Internet como si fuera propio; aunque ellos no lo juzgan como conductas especialmente graves
ABSTRACT
Objectives. To determine the proportion of health sciences students who engage in academic misconduct and to identify their opinion of this behavior. Method. An anonymous, voluntary, self-administered questionnaire was given to all students in the Blanquerna School of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Nutrition, in February 2004. The questionnaire consisted of three sections the first aimed to evaluate academic behavior during exams and practical sessions and when handing in coursework, the second was designed to determine students' opinion of copying, and the third aimed to determine their knowledge of academic misconduct among fellow students. Results. A total of 468 questionnaires were analyzed (participation rate 42.5%). Twenty-eight percent (120/468) (95% CI 19.11-26.7) of the students reported they had copied during an exam. Twenty percent (95% CI 16.6-23.9) admitted to copying entire texts from other authors without referencing the sources. Approximately 49.7% (95% CI 45.1-54.2) gave their own work to other classmates to be used as a model. Sixty-eight percent (95% CI 64.1-72.5) believed that all students cheated at some time during their university course. Students believed that the only punishment that should be applied was to invalidate the corresponding exam, exercise or test while about 20% considered no punishment was necessary. Discussion. Our students are similar those in other countries in terms of copying exams, plagiarizing texts or passing off material from the internet as their own. However, the students in this study tended to see academic misconduct as not especially serious
