| Abstract |
As the Internet is recognized as a high potential and
powerful educational tool to access sources of knowledge, plagiarism
is an increasing unethical issue found in students’ writing. This paper
is deriving from the 1st phase of an on-going study investigating the
effects of the supplementary on citing sources on undergraduate
students’ writing. The 40 participants were divided into 1
experimental group and 1 control group. Both groups were
administered with a questionnaire on knowledge and an interview on
attitude related to using sources in writing. Only the experimental
group undertook the 4 lessons focusing on using outside sources and
citing the original work (quoting, synthesizing, summarizing and
paraphrasing) were delivered to them via e-learning tools throughout
a semester. Participants were required to produce 4 writing tasks after
each lesson. The results were concerned with types and factors on
using outside sources in writing of Thai undergraduate EFL students
from the survey. The interview results supported and clarified the
survey result. In addition, the writing rubrics confirmed the types of
plagiarism frequently occurred in students’ writing. The results
revealed the types and factors on plagiarism including their
perceptions on using the outside sources in their writing from the
interview. The discussion shed the lights on cultural dimensions of
plagiarism in student writing, roles of teachers, library, and university
policy on the rate of plagiarism. Also, the findings promoted the
awareness on ethics in writing and prevented the rate of potential
unintentional plagiarism. Additionally, the results of this phase of
study could lead to the appropriate contents to be considered for
inclusion in the supplementary on using sources for writing for future
research. |
