CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Kurt just took a test and is relieved that it is over. At lunch, he is pressured by his friends to tell them what’s on the test (they have the same teacher later in the day). He tries to be polite in refusing to give away answers on the test. He knows that sharing information about a test is a form of academic dishonesty. Even though he knows he will not get caught he honors his self-dignity and he would never want to act to compromise his dignity-so, he refuses to be academically dishonest. After thinking about the policy, he agrees that it is a form of academic dishonesty.
