Summary/Abstract: The article discusses issues related to the phenomenon of cheating and plagiarism in modern universities. It describes the determination of terminology, the scale of cheating, and some conditions. The article, however, focuses on the phenomenon of cheating in regard to key competences, resulting from the efficiency of thought processes, such as reflexivity, creativity and innovation. By clarifying these concepts and placing them on an axis of no-reflexivity to reflexivity, and then on axis of creativity and innovation, theoretical analysis of where on those axis cheating students are, was made. This article discusses cheating students as both: thoughtless conformists, as well as reflective and creative people who decide to cheat.
