This document discusses using project-based learning to reduce academic cheating. It describes an action research project with the goals of better defining cheating as students perceive it and finding ways to help teachers reduce boundaries that force students to cheat. The research involved a webquest assignment and survey in Cycle 1, which found lower reported cheating than teacher-observed cheating. Cycle 2 included student interviews about their definitions of cheating and experiences, concluding that cheating is often a collaboration and that project-based learning may reduce it by encouraging collaboration and creativity over standard assignments.
