Description¶
A framework developed by Hamish Coates and colleagues that measures and reports institutional academic-assessment integrity across eight dimensions using 130 indicators.
Components¶
- Academic integrity indicator framework: 130 items organised under eight dimensions of academic integrity: A governance-level indicator framework for the integrity of student assessment, in which "130 specific items were detailed and organised under eight dimensions of academic integrity". The dimensions, shown in Table 1 with item pool sizes and sample items, span designing assessment and governance arrangements, developing assessment resources, training, assessment implementation, analysis and reporting of assessment data, evaluation, and improvement. The parameterisation is deliberately general to yield governance-relevant insights across disciplines and levels, and items are sampled from dimension-specific pools onto a 100-point reporting metric. (Hamish Coates et al. (2025))
Claims¶
- Multi-institutional case study analysis of five Australian higher education institutions revealed a lack of governance-level information on student assessment and integrity [+M]
- Experts from multiple world regions affirmed the need and value of academic integrity indicators but queried prospects for dissemination and adoption [+M]
- Pilot quantitative application produced indicative 100-point academic integrity indicator reports for two institutions with sector comparisons [+W]
