Influence of Personality Traits on Plagiarism Through Collusion in Programming Assignments

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

We tested the hypothesis that educating students about academic integrity would reduce malpractice using data from an AI course with 105 students. However, we did not find a significant reduction in code similarity between the two programming assignments. Additionally, we examined how Big Five personality traits influence plagiarism tendencies. We found that extraversion was positively associated with plagiarism, while conscientiousness was negatively associated. The results suggest that educating students alone may have a limited impact if opportunities for plagiarism persist.

Teaching Digital Accessibility in Computing Education: Views of Educators in India

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

We replicated surveys from the US and Switzerland to assess who among CS faculty in India teaches accessibility and the barriers they face. We also included a qualitative analysis of faculty perceptions. Findings show that few CS faculty teach accessibility and face similar barriers to those identified in Western studies. The analysis suggests a need for better training on accessibility concepts and sensitization to disabilities, as well as greater exposure to current research and pedagogies.
