Academicus International Scientific Journal, 2018, issue 18, 73-82

Abstract: The ethic of education is a set of�professional rules and�regulations agreed upon by the scientific community that obliges�actors to�comply with codes of conduct in the science education process. This�article is asking about levels and types of academic dishonesty and recognizing factors affecting it in Iran�s social sciences education.�The data�were collected�using�semi-structured interviews�with�Ph.D. students of�public�Universities in Tehran�were�analyzed�with qualitative content analysis. Research findings show that academic�dishonesty and factors affecting it�are�evident�in�the education of�social science�at two levels of�micro and macro.�At the micro or actor�s level, individual characteristics and personality traits of students and professors impact on�the�occurrence�of�academic dishonesty. Moreover, at the macro or structural level,�the way of distribution of resources and rules in the education paves the way for and facilitates�the occurrence of�academic dishonesty. Consequently, dishonesty in�the education of�Iran�s�social sciences and factors affecting it�can be�explained in the light of a structuration approach.
