Embedded mixed design was preferred. Academic dishonesty tendency scale, semi-structured interview form and metaphor form were used as data collection tools. With the two-stage clustering performed, the average scores of the academic dishonesty tendency scale were divided into three clusters. It was found that the majority of prospective teachers have a low level of academic dishonesty tendency. According to the results obtained from semi-structured interviews, teacher candidates have expressed their views on the concept of \"ethics\" under the categories of instructor, student, and administrator. Their views on the concept of \"science and research ethics\" have been explained under the categories of determination of the subject, conducting studies, and publication of studies. It has been revealed that the course on science and research ethics contributes to the educational processes, personal development, and professional development of teacher candidates. Different metaphors were developed for the concepts of ethics, and science and research ethics. In addition, the metaphors developed regarding the concept of ethics were generally related to guiding and mentoring. The metaphors developed regarding the concept of science and research ethics are related to the things to be considered in a scientific study process, the way to be followed in scientific studies, and the importance of ethics in scientific studies.  \nKeywords: Ethics, research and science ethics, academic dishonesty, higher education  \n* Assistant Professor, Dicle University, Ziya Gökalp Faculty of Education, Diyarbakir, Turkey.

They take responsibility for future generations to adopt ethical values and receive a qualified education (Haynes, 2002) . Educational institutions support and strengthen ethical values in various ways, such as instilling awareness of ethical values in students, setting an example by having educators who embrace ethical values, offering ethics courses and programs, providing guidance on how to apply ethical values in real-life situations, facilitating discussions on ethical topics, and enhancing the skills to analyze and criticize ethical issues. By doing so, future generations can contribute to the construction of a more ethical society by embracing ethical values.  \nThrough education, individuals are taught necessary and desired behaviors. However, sometimes unethical behaviors may occur during the process. Academic dishonesty behaviors are the most observed of these unethical behaviors (Lanier, 2006) . Academic dishonesty affects the degree to which educational institutions, and individuals achieve the goals they set, and the individual’s future behavior (Harding et al., 2004) . Academic dishonesty is a serious problem with negative consequences for individuals, institutions and society around the world (Anderman & Murdock, 2007; Nucci & Turiel, 2009) . It threatens scientific integrity, creates inequality and injustice, undermines trust in educational environments, hinders quality learning, and damages societal values. Educational institutions and the academic community should actively work to prevent this problem and promote ethical values.  \nAcademic Dishonesty  \nAcademic dishonesty is deliberately engaging in prohibited behavior in order to gain an unfair advantage in an academic context (Zhao et al., 2021) .
