  • Unethical Purchase of Academic Papers in Public Universities of Armenia
    Journal of Teaching and Education, CD-ROM. ISSN: 2165-6266 :: 05(02):371–400 (2016) UNETHICAL PURCHASE OF ACADEMIC PAPERS IN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES OF ARMENIA Irshat Madyarov, Mariam Khachatryan, Sona Budaghyan, Kristine Goroyan, Narine Gevorgyan, Lilit Manvelyan, Sirush Vardazaryan and Hasmik Bisharyan American University of Armenia, Armenia Academic dishonesty is known to be a widespread phenomenon in higher education institutions. A type of academic dishonesty, unethical purchase of academic papers among students of public universities of Armenia, is a topic of discussion in the country. However, no empirical study has been conducted on the type of academic dishonesty. This study is aimed at contributing to filling this gap and exploring current trends in unethical purchase of academic papers among students and the kind of measures taken to regulate academic integrity in public universities of Armenia. Faculty members and experts from governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as employees of specialized centers that sell academic papers were interviewed to get insight into current academic integrity policies and reasons that drive students to unethically purchase papers. Based on the interview results, a survey was administered to 623 students from different fields of study in 12 public universities of Armenia to confirm findings of the interview and reveal current trends in the purchase of papers by students. As findings suggest, there is no government regulation concerning academic integrity and such problems mainly receive university-level solutions. Most universities do not have written policies on academic integrity despite the fact that it is required by newly operating accreditation standards. Nevertheless, interviewed faculty members and administrative staff of the universities have negative attitude towards the phenomenon.

Main goal of this institutes are emphasizing political and 1 military priorities, elaboration of alternative offers, comprehensive analysis of policy, formation of social opinion, elaboration of possible scenario regarding development of expected processes, etc. Main bodies in this sphere are social sciences research analytical centers based in university- academic environment particularly – university affiliated think tanks. This bodies on one hand issue intellectual, scientific product on the other hand provide state, NGOs and political organizations with innovative ideas, outlook projects, strategical and analytical researches, expert advice, global political concepts, etc. If we discuss Armenian education system during Soviet times we will first notice it as a reproductive system of already existing knowledge and science and here elaboration of new knowledge was something secondary (this function was mainly reserved to institutes of academies of sciences based in USSR). This issue is currently changing: new mechanisms and tools are gradually being developed in the Republic of Armenia that give opportunity to foster scientific and research activities at the universities.
