To acquire information about demographics, cheating behaviour, and opinions on such behaviour, we compiled a questionnaire that targeted a university population of first-year students (N=323). From the results, it was revealed that cheating is a way of life in Slovenian schools, and almost all students at least occasionally indulge in some academic misbehaviour. It seems that a culture tolerant or even supportive of such behaviour has been established among students, parents and teachers, all working together to “help” students climb the ladder of success. The open question is whether all kinds of cheating are even recognized as such. Cheating is most common in homework, but at the other end, even systems such as external exams are not immune to fraud. At the moment, classic methods of cheating dominate. Differences between characters (e.g. gender) and educational institutions in most cases are non-existent or small, a finding that could aid in establishing measures to prevent cheating inside schools as institutions.  \nKeywords: cheating, academic dishonesty, secondary school  \n1 *Corresponding Author.

Da bi pridobili ustrezne podatke o goljufanju in stališča  \no njem med srednješolci, smo sestavili vprašalnik, ki smo ga posredovali študentom prvih letnikov univerze (N = 322) . Iz zbranih rezultatov lahko sklenemo, da je goljufanje »način življenja« v slovenskih srednjih šolah in da so dejansko vsi dijaki vsaj občasno udeleženi v kateri izmedoblik goljufanja. Ugotavljamo, da se je v šolah med dijaki, starši in učitelji razvila kultura, ki celo podpira goljufanje. Ravnanje opravičujejo sciljem pomagati dijakom, da bi se laže vzpenjali po lestvici uspeha. Odprto ostaja vprašanje, ali so nekatere oblike goljufanja sploh prepoznane kot goljufanje. Goljufanje je najpogosteje prisotno pri domačih nalogah, vendar celo matura ni imuna na zlorabe. Razlik med spoloma in različnimi šolami nismo zaznali ali pa so te majhne. To spoznanje lajša vpeljavo ukrepov, s katerimi bi lahko zmanjšali število goljufij, povezanih zizobraževanjem v šolah.  \nKljučne besede: goljufanje, akademske nečednosti, srednja šola  \nIntroduction  \nAcademic cheating, academic dishonesty, and academic misconduct can be recognized as umbrella terms for a range of behaviour from copying an answer over a shoulder, to falsifying the results or presenting other’s work as one’s own. In a broad context, they are close to the corruption, recognized asa threat to academic integrity (Heyneman, 2004, 2014; Transparency International, 2013). All such behaviour has in common that the academically dishonest person gains real or perceived benefit from breaking established rules (Green, 2004). Definitions of academic dishonesty are not exact, nor is the list of behaviours (Burrus, McGoldrick, & Schuhmann, 2007), and definitions differ greatly across cultures (Magnus, Polterovich, Danilov, & Savvateev, 2002; Grimes, 2004;Šimić Šašić & Klarin, 2009) .
