诚信为本:美国高校荣誉制度探究

Integrity First: An Exploration of Honor System in American Colleges and Universities

荣誉制度是美国大学实施的一项学生对学校的承诺制度,它通过学生自我约束和自我管理来培养学生的荣誉感和责任感,它是美国大学学术诚信体系的重要组成部分。荣誉制度自产生以来逐步形成了以荣誉准则为核心、以荣誉委员会为执行主体的一套完整制度。在荣誉制度的发展中,为了使其满足学校具体实际,很多大学选择对其在实施程序、执行主体、规约范围方面进行调整,从而发挥更优效果。着眼于美国高校荣誉制度在发展过程中体现出的共性与个性,并对二者分别进行研究,以期了解荣誉制度对社会环境的适应与完善,这将有助于将荣誉理念融入我国高校诚信体系,形成适合我国的诚信教育模式。
