Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Instructional Technology (Education).
This qualitative study explores faculty responses to student plagiarism in relation to the use or non-use of plagiarism detection software. The faculty participants responded to intentional and unintentional student plagiarism through a teaching lens by teaching students academic writing skills and/or life lessons on personality integrity. Pedagogical interventions were used by the participants to deter student plagiarism, including those participants who also chose to utilize plagiarism detection software. Participants using plagiarism detection software provided their students with opportunities to revise intentionally or unintentionally plagiarized work. Exploration of faculty perceptions on plagiarism detection software showed similarities among participants when grouped by academic discipline. Plagiarism is complicated by differences in disciplinary writing conventions and concepts such as intertextuality, text overlap, and patchwriting. Further qualitative research is needed on faculty perceptions of student plagiarism, as well as discipline-specific practices and expectations.
