To this end, article presents statistical analysis First, unique parallel survey educators and was conducted collect data from August 2018 2020. Next, analyses were explore students’ experiences attitudes toward contextual factors that relate these behaviors. Additionally, Pearson correlation tests on find potential for cheating. Finally, multivariate technique, partial-least-squares regression (PLSR), applied interpret results. The results showed main motivation receive good grades (the coefficient ρ 0.1309) perspective personal learning; side university management, clear regulations (ρ=−0.1378), penalties (ρ=−0.1275), use cheating-detection software (ρ=−0.1186) can directly reduce cheating; teachers’ teaching, lecturers’ feedback assignments (ρ=−0.1510) effectively behavior; addition, increasing sense achievement course learning (ρ=−0.2619) helps probability
