Understanding PlagiarismA Storyboard Presented by Julonda Slay
Plagiarism can be defined in many different ways, but to sum it up, it is when you take work or words and use them in papers or in speeches and you do not site where you have gotten the sources or information from. It is stealing and their can be major consequences from it. Many students have been expelled in such cases and many have failed as a result of it. The first part in avoiding plagiarism is to first understand what it is.
In 2009, Erkaya conducted a qualitative study of 6 Turkish high school students. The purpose of the study was to interview the students and identify the causes of plagiarism and propose possible solutions.The results of the study was enlightening. Erkaya found the causes of plagiarism were a lack of awareness, knowledge, motivation, and freedom. Students didn’t understand plagiarism and what was expected of them.The solutions that were presented were to insure that students chose interesting topics and actually be taught what plagiarism is and possible consequences.
Lankamp also conducted a study in 2009. This study was also a qualitative study in which 6 Master level ESL students were interviewed to determine if a relationship existed between an ignorance of plagiarism rules and an authorial identity problem. It was hypothesized that a positive relationship may exist between the two and solutions could be proposed to counteract this relationship. The Results demonstrated that a relationship did not exist. The most evident cause of plagiarism is an ignorance of citation and summary rules.Although these two studies were conducted on very different populations, the findings were the same. Students DO NOT UNDERSTAND plagiarism. Let’s watch a short video clip on what may commonly happen in many homes throughout the United States. An educated well, meaning adult student makes some poor choices on writing a paper for a plethora of reasons. None of which can excuse the actions that are taken.
