RESEARCH VALUE ASSESSMENT
Why This Data Matters
Underrepresented Voice
- Student perspectives on academic integrity under-researched
- First-hand experience of assessment/AI challenges
- Peer insights often more credible to other students
Longitudinal Data
- 2023: Pre-ChatGPT explosion context
- 2024: Early GenAI adaptation
- 2025: Post-GenAI normalization
- Track changing attitudes and concerns
Interdisciplinary Diversity
- STEMM students from various disciplines
- Cross-pollination of ideas
- Discipline-specific integrity challenges
Research-in-Action
- Students learning research methods
- Applying to real integrity issues
- Authentic assessment example
Underutilized Resource
- Publicly available but little analyzed
- Rich qualitative data
- Replicable student research examples
