dishonesty, differentiation between plagiarism and cheating, and students’ view that certain types of academic dishonesty are more unethical than others. Question 3
Van Merrienboer (1997) points out the transition in the field of instructional design from ”instructivist” approaches to “constructivist” approaches in the last ten years, with the former expressing the idea that the knowledge is to represent the real world, and thus determines the meaning which is external to the understanders. Question 4
