The Division of 教育基金会 and 调查 (EDFI) provides courses and academic advising to program areas within the 教育学院 and 人类发展 (i.e., 教师教育, 特殊教育, counseling and psychological services, 高等教育, and educational leadership). EDFI encompasses three primary content areas: 教育心理学, 博天堂官方网站及评估, and Social Foundations of 教育. EDFI provides courses within these areas to students on-campus, off-campus, and on-line. To provide a measure of consistency across these different delivery platforms and within the division, the following expectations for performance have been agreed upon by the faculty of EDFI.

The Center for Academic Integrity (CAI) (1999) has identified five fundamental values of academic integrity for faculty and students. These five values serve as the framework for EDFI expectations.

• Honesty  “Honesty is the foundation of teaching, 学习, 博天堂官方网站, and service and the prerequisite for the full realization of trust, 公平, 尊重, 和责任”(CAI, pg. 5). Faculty and students will adhere to the University’s general Codes of Conduct defined in the BGSU学生手册. 具体地说, the Code of Academic Conduct (Academic Honesty Policy) requires that students do not cheat, 制造, plagiarize or facilitate academic dishonesty. 详细信息请参见 BGSU学生手册.
