Academic E-Dishonesty and Research Anxiety Among the Preservice Teachers

The current study investigated the relationship between research anxiety and academic e-dishonesty among preservice teachers. The participants were 558 students, attending teacher education faculties of eight state universities located in different districts of Turkey. Data was collected through “Research Anxiety Scale” and “Internet-Triggered Academic Dishonesty Scale (ITADS)”. Findings revealed that research anxiety levels of preservice teachers are moderate and academic e-dishonesty levels are low. There is a significant relationship was found between the level of research anxiety and academic e-dishonesty. Research anxiety of the preservice teachers did not change according to taking a research oriented course or gender. Academic e-dishonesty levels varied with gender revealing that women were higher than men. Implications and suggestions for further research are provided.
