Abstract
The poster provides an overview of the eSTEeM scholarship project titled “Academic conduct referrals and students from underrepresented groups" which is investigating patterns in the demographics, referral data, and the perceptions of Level 1 students who are referred to the Academic Conduct Office (ACO) within the School of Computing & Communications.
ACOs in the School of Computing and Communications observed and data from the previous 4 academic years illustrated a variance in the level of Academic Conduct referrals for students in underrepresented groups.
The aim of the project is to investigate the patterns in the demographics and referral data of students who are referred for Academic Conduct, review the literature and conduct primary research with key stakeholders including Module Teams and students in underrepresented groups.
The analysis of the data of students referred to the ACOs in the School in terms of demographics and review of the literature on academic conduct and integrity and underrepresented groups has been undertaken.
The next stage is to interview Module Teams and students in underrepresented groups on their experiences of the academic conduct process and analyse and evaluate the collected qualitative interview data.
The intended outcomes are to make recommendations on support and guidance to students in underrepresented groups on Academic Conduct and develop Academic Conduct resources that are sensitive to student backgrounds.
