ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study entitled “The Cheating Arrangement: Academic Dishonesty of College Students at Isabela State University” is to have a deeper knowledge of the reasons for the students and their mechanisms for cheating. Problems concerning cheating have become apparent in schools and academic institutions. Cheating means using an unfair way of achieving goals. Cheating is more likely caused by pressure from their surroundings like parents, teachers and friends. These are the reasons why students resort cheating. Students have fear of failing grades, fear of being alienated from their friends, fear of being scolded by their teachers.

            Parents, teachers and society may help find solution to solve this problem by imparting the significance of honesty and integrity to the students to fight against academic cheating.
