To effectively promote academic integrity though teaching, regulation and enforcement, it is important to understand the student perspective. What issues do they face, how do they understand the rules and principles that apply to them, and how do these fit with their own personal values? I the keynote, I will review some of the past decade’s research in these questions and show how it has revealed blind spots in existing teaching practices and a great diversity in student attitudes. I will discuss some simple but useful categories that enable teachers and regulators perceive the diversity in their student populations, and the difficulties that arise when attempting to promote integrity in such diverse groups through simple rules.
