The study of 5,300 graduate students in the United States and Canada found that 56 percent of graduate business students admitted to cheating in the past year, with many saying they cheated because they believed it was an accepted practice in business. Following business students, 54 percent of graduate engineering students admitted to cheating, as did 50 percent of physical science students, 49 percent of medical and health-care students, 45 percent of law students, 43 percent of liberal arts students and 39 percent of social science and humanities students. "Students have reached the point where they're making their own rules," said lead author Donald McCabe, professor of management and global business at New Jersey's Rutgers University. "They'll challenge rules that professors have made, because they think they're stupid basically, or inappropriate." McCabe said it's likely that more students cheat than admit to it. The study, published in the September issue of the Academy of Management Learning and Education, defined cheating as including copying the work of other students, plagiarizing and bringing prohibited notes into exams. McCabe said that in their survey comments, business school students described cheating as a necessary measure and the sort of practice they'd likely need to succeed in the professional world. "The typical comment is that what's important is getting the job done. How you get it done is less important," McCabe said. (Agencies)

上周三，一篇研究論文中提到，美國(guó)和加拿大商務(wù)專業(yè)的研究生比其他專業(yè)的學(xué)生愛(ài)作弊。 美國(guó)和加拿大共有5300名研究生參加了此項(xiàng)調(diào)查。調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，56％的商務(wù)專業(yè)學(xué)生承認(rèn)在過(guò)去的一年中有過(guò)作弊行為，其中有很多學(xué)生認(rèn)為作弊沒(méi)什么，因?yàn)樗麄冇X(jué)得這在商業(yè)領(lǐng)域很正常。 此外，54％的工程學(xué)研究生、50％的物理學(xué)研究生、49％的醫(yī)藥和保健專業(yè)學(xué)生、45％的法律專業(yè)學(xué)生、43％的文科生、39％的社會(huì)科學(xué)和人文專業(yè)學(xué)生承認(rèn)在過(guò)去的一年中有過(guò)作弊行為。 新澤西州羅格斯大學(xué)全球商業(yè)和管理學(xué)專業(yè)的唐納德·麥凱比教授是此篇論文的主筆，他說(shuō)：“學(xué)生們開始有了自己的準(zhǔn)則，他們會(huì)對(duì)教授們制訂的那些規(guī)則提出異議，因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為這些規(guī)則根本沒(méi)什么道理，或者壓根就不對(duì)。” 麥凱比說(shuō)，實(shí)際作弊的學(xué)生數(shù)可能比承認(rèn)作弊的人數(shù)要多。 這篇論文發(fā)表在《教學(xué)管理學(xué)術(shù)研究》的第九期上，文中將作弊定義為"抄襲他人作業(yè)、剽竊、攜帶違禁紙條入考場(chǎng)等行為"。 麥凱比說(shuō)，商業(yè)學(xué)院的學(xué)生在調(diào)查反饋意見(jiàn)中將作弊定義為"在商界成功必需的一種手段和行為"。 麥凱比說(shuō)：“最具代表性的評(píng)論就是，把工作搞定最重要，至于通過(guò)什么方式搞定是次要的。” (英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津姍姍編輯)
