一句话：通过对116名软件工程本科生的调查，揭示LLM作弊多发生于编程作业等场景，并指出评估设计与指导不清是重要诱因。
该研究关注软件工程教育中 LLM 使用引发的学术诚信问题。作者对来自多个国家的 116 名软件工程本科生进行横断面调查，结合定量统计与定性分析，考察学生如何描述被其视为不当、不被允许或不符合课程期望的 LLM 使用经历。结果显示，报告中的 LLM 作弊主要出现在编程作业、常规课程作业和文档任务中，常伴随时间压力和指导不清；在测验与考试中使用较少且更一致地被认定为违规。学生了解学术与职业后果，但认为正式处罚有限。研究认为，LLM 误用与评估和教学条件相关，需要让评估设计、学习目标与 LLM 使用期望更好对齐。
Background: Cheating in university education is commonly described as context-dependent and influenced by assessment design, institutional norms, and student interpretation. In software engineering education, programming-oriented coursework has historically involved ambiguity around collaboration, reuse, and external assistance. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have introduced additional mediation in the production of code and related artifacts. Aims: This study investigates how software engineering students describe experiences of using LLMs in ways they perceived as inappropriate, disallowed, or misaligned with course expectations. Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 116 undergraduate software engineering students from multiple countries, combining quantitative summaries with qualitative data. Results: Reported LLM cheating practices occurred primarily in programming assignments, routine coursework, and documentation tasks, often in contexts of time pressure and unclear guidance. Use during quizzes and exams was less frequent and more consistently identified as a violation. Students reported awareness of academic and professional consequences regarding LLM cheating, while formal sanctions were perceived as limited. Conclusions: Our study indicates that reported LLM misuse in software engineering is associated with assessment and instructional conditions, suggesting a need for clearer alignment between assessment design, learning objectives, and expectations for LLM use.
