Online graduate students' understanding of information ethics issues: An exploratory study. - 270 p.

Adviser: Beate R. Baltes.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Walden University, 2008.

This study addressed the problem that students have a varied, and sometimes weak, understanding of information ethics (IE) issues, even within the context of academic research. This can lead to dishonest behavior, which can carry over into the workplace and other post-collegiate experiences. This exploratory study utilized a multiple-case study design to explore how online doctoral students understood and applied IE issues in their academic experience.

520 $a This study addressed the problem that students have a varied, and sometimes weak, understanding of information ethics (IE) issues, even within the context of academic research. This can lead to dishonest behavior, which can carry over into the workplace and other post-collegiate experiences. This exploratory study utilized a multiple-case study design to explore how online doctoral students understood and applied IE issues in their academic experience.
520 $a Data was collected from interviews, student-produced artifacts, and existing university documentation. Analysis utilized a combined coding strategy, including auto, open, and axial coding, and content analysis. Findings supported the literature, indicating that students have varied levels of understanding of IE issues, and that even at the doctoral level more exposure to IE issues is needed. While most of the participants in this study applied IE concepts adequately in their writing, some still need a significant level of training. Findings also showed that the university influences students' understanding of these issues, supporting Froehlich's triangular model of factors affecting ethical situations.
520 $a This study presents the opportunity to bring about positive social change by linking ethical scholarship with honesty in society. If ethical scholarship is taught, demonstrated, and enforced consistently, it may reduce the number of ethical lapses we currently see in society. Institutions of higher education have a unique opportunity to instill values of honesty and integrity in their students; this can be accomplished through the development of a comprehensive program that addresses IE issues.
