Lejeune, Éline creator author Demeuse, Marc author text 2026. monographic fre In French-speaking Belgium, the issue of academic cheating is very rarely studied. This article presents a survey conducted among 600 French-speaking students from four secondary public schools. The results challenge the stereotype that boys cheat more than girls. Many students would participate in cheating in exchange of a reward. Most students see cheating as a barrier to their future, but others view it to obtain rewards, such as a diploma, rather than as a part of learning process. 14 Phronesis | 15 | 2 | 2026-02-04 | p. 4-14 https://shs.cairn.info/journal-phronesis-2026-2-page-4?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 https://shs.cairn.info/journal-phronesis-2026-2-page-4?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 20260329022447.0
