as a whole.
There are the effect from plagiarism in education
department of Indonesia :
1.
Academic
Discipline
Educational institutions, especially
colleges and universities, regard plagiarism as a serious breach of academic
honesty and integrity. They warn their students of serious consequences for plagiarizing
the work of others. Students who are guilty of plagiarism face at the least a
failing grade in the course for which they committed the offense. Other
possible consequences include suspension or even expulsion from the school they
attend.
2.
Loss
of Degree or Job
College students who commit plagiarism face the loss of
their degrees upon discovery of the offense. College faculty members who
plagiarize the work of other scholars face serious consequences as well.
Professors who commit plagiarism may lose tenure and face the loss of their
jobs and reputations. An academic found guilty of plagiarism faces the
permanent loss of her credibility as a scholar. Plagiarism also may damage the
reputation of schools as places of learning and intellectual inquiry.
What
the meaning about plagiarism?.
Plagiarism is derived from two Latin
words; plagiarius which
means an abductor, and plagiare which
means to steal. According to Random House Compact Unabridged Dictionary, it is
defined as "use or close
imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation
of them as one's own original work." It is also considered as
violation of scholarly ethics and intellectual property by many academicians.
And plagiarism from the writer mind
it’s like cheating,stealing a original work and admit it by ourself.
And what the motive from the students,until their students
did plagiarism.
Why Students Plagiarize?
There are many reasons students plagiarize. Sometimes
deadlines come around more quickly than expected, sometimes assignments feel
over whelming, and sometimes the boundaries of plagiarism and research just get
confused. But what situations are most likely to result in plagiarism? More
importantly, how can they be avoided? Learning to identify the factors that
make plagiarism an attractive alternative is the best way to stop it before it
starts.
1. Making the Grade
Students are under enormous pressure from family, peers, and
instructors to compete for scholarships, admissions, and, of course, places in
the job market. They often see education as a rung in the ladder to success,
and not an active process valuable in itself. Because of this, students tend to
focus on the end results of their research, rather than the skills they learn
in doing it.
Explain to your students that while they may be able to hide
ignorance of particular facts or theories, research and writing skills make
themselves very apparent to anyone evaluating them. In other words, your
students' grades won't matter if they don't have the skills to show for them.
Also, you may wish to emphasize improvement as a factor in grading, as this can
encourage students to try developing their own abilities. This depends entirely
upon your own pedagogical style, of course.
2. "Everyone else is doing it"
Students often justify
plagiarism by pointing out that since their peers plagiarize, they must do the
same to keep up. They feel faced with a choice: put in several hours of work
and risk a mediocre grade with less time for other subjects, or do what their
peers do and copy something good from the internet for an easy A with time to
spare.
One of the only ways to
deal with this is by catching those students who do plagiarize. It takes a
great deal of the pressure off of those who want to work honestly but are
afraid of falling behind their peers.
3. Poor Planning
Students are not always
the best judges of how much time their assignments will take. They may not be
aware of the extent of work involved in a research paper, or may simply be
overwhelmed by the task and put it off until the last minute, leaving them with
no time for original work of their own.
Scheduling stages of
progress on their papers is a very effective way to deal with this. Having them
submit bibliographies, outlines, thesis statements, or drafts on specified
dates before the final draft is due will give them a good idea of the amount of
work involved. It will also help them organize their time and make the task
seem less overwhelming.
Plagiarism in simple
words is stealing another person's language and thoughts, and passing it off as
one's own original work. There are many forms of plagiarism, read about them to
understand the types and way it's done.
The
writer will be explain about the various yypes of
plagiarism
1.
Plagiarism is a personal ethical issue. Knowing what it is, and Full Plagiarism
Content
that has been presented, without any changes made to the
language, thoughts, flow, and even punctuation.
Many academicians believe that is
generally the work of people who are incompetent
in the particular subject, or are just
plain lazy to make an effort.
2.
Partial Plagiarism: When the presented
content is a combination of two to three different sources, where the use of
rephrasing and synonyms is rampant. Here, the author uses some originality, but
inadequacy of knowledge on the particular subject is a common reason for the
occurrences of partial plagiarism.
3.
Minimalistic Plagiarism: Here, the
plagiarist authors someone else concept, ideas, thought, or opinions in their
own words and in a different flow. Although many do not regard this as
plagiarism (probably the one's who do it!), it is considered as stealing
someone's study or thoughts.
This
form involves a lot of paraphrasing.
4.
Source Citation: When complete
source information with quotes is provided, it does not amount to plagiarism.
However, the definition of a complete source citation varies vastly. Some
writers quote the source's name, but give no other accessible information.
While some conveniently give false references, some just merge their
information with an original piece of writing. A ghost writer is a perfect
example of a plagiarist. Here the writer feels free to source information and
reproduce it as their own.
5.
Self-plagiarism: This form is
perhaps most contested as "it is " and "is not". Using
one's own work, fully or partially, or even the same thought and re-writing it,
is known as self-plagiarism by many. Publishing the same material through
different mediums without referencing it correctly is a very common habit among
many writers. The content on many websites are perfect examples of it.
According to professor Paul Brian's opinion posted on the Internet Humanist Forum, "self-plagiarism, or the recycling of an old work in a new guise is also a theft since the author leads the book-buyer to think that there is a new book of his on the market. The author is misleading his/her readers." "Self-plagiarism is fraud if not outright theft".
learning ways to detect and prevent plagiarized content, will go a long way in promoting and preserving authenticity and originality.
