Introduction: Academic misconduct specifically cheating is much debated in literature. Cheating on exams undermines educational integrity and student development. The purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives of teachers and students on the underlying reasons behind students’ engagement in cheating on exams. Methods: This study employed a qualitative Delphi technique and four rounds of Delphi were conducted with 42 participants to narrow down the reasons behind students’ engagement in cheating on exams. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, and included students (n=30), and teachers (n=12). To collect data, an electronic questionnaire was developed and distributed in Delphi rounds over a period of five weeks. Content analysis approach was used to analyze data. The ten most significant reasons were systematically ranked using a 5-point Likert scale. Results: Among students, 60.0% were male (n=18) and 40.0% were female (n=12). In contrast, the teacher group consisted of 66.7% males (n=8) and 33.3% females (n=4). Findings revealed a consensus between teachers and students, though their prioritization of these factors differed. The most significant factors identified by both groups were “fear of failure”, “lack of student engagement”, “lack of formative assessment”, “lack of knowledge”, “exam anxiety”, “unmonitored environment”, “exam room layout”, “competition among peers”, “normalizing cheating”, and “lack of perseverance”. Discussion: The identified factors are critically important to be taken into consideration to avert academic misconduct by university students. Therefore, there is a need to orient students on the consequences of academic misconduct in a dual effort between university officials and teachers. | ||
