To Recognize“That’s one!” Give props

Where we’re NOT goingTextual ownershipNon-native English speakers (EL2) Cryptomnesia Intentional Plagiarism

Where we ARE going Literature on Inadvertent Plagiarism Study 1: “Why do(n’t) you cite?”Study 2: Using Training Modules Study 3: Peer Modeling What we can do

Inadvertent PlagiarismUncertainty IncompetenceIndifference Troublesome

“Why do(n’t) you cite?” Students’ Decision Process

“Why do(n’t) you cite?” Surveyed 326 ETSU students from gen. ed., oral communication classes Examined likely intent to cite fromExpected Outcomes Social Norm Confidence Theory of Planned Behavior

“Why do(n’t) you cite?” Expected OutcomesSocial Norm Confidence Citing sources will enhance credibility Citing source will enhance my credibility (6.2 [1 to 7]) Increasing my credibility is desirable (2.5 (-3 to + 3])

“Why do(n’t) you cite?” Expected OutcomesSocial Norm Confidence Teacher Classmate

Using Training Modules* Education Makes a Difference *Funded by a grant from ETSU’s Instructional Development Committee

Using Training Modules 308 ETSU students Instructional materials & mastery quiz Required of every studentBefore first assignment Ticket to ride

Using Training Modules Online training (D2L) What constitutes plagiarism Basic elements of a citationParaphrasingCitations for web sources Using secondary sources EXAMPLES

Using Training Modules Mastery Quiz (D2L) 12 questions 38 question bankDetermined sections (11) Mastery = 100%

For a speech on the role of peer pressure in high school students’ decision to drink excessively, which of the following is the MOST appropriate to use in a speech? A. Arata, Stafford, and Tims write in Adolescence, 2003, that “Problem drinkers reported greater susceptibility to peer pressure.”B. An article in Adolescence, a premier journal on teen behavior, contained an article in 2003 that “Problem drinkers reported greater susceptibility to peer pressure.” C. Arata, Stafford, and Tims , respected researchers in the field of psychology, write in 2003, “Problem drinkers reported greater susceptibility to peer pressure.”D. In Adolesence, 2003, pages 567-569, it says that “Problem drinkers reported greater susceptibility to peer pressure.”

Using Training Modules Speeches recorded and scored Success! Average 13% improvementVaried widely by instructor Up to 25% improvement

Peer Modeling* Students See, Students Do *Funded by grants from ETSU’s Instructional Development Committee & Research Development Committee

Peer Modeling 191 students Students saw either a video of an “ETSU student” speech a video of a “Purdue student” speech no video

Peer ModelingSpeeches recorded and scored Success! Having a model made a differenceSeeing the “ETSU student” improved scores

Students want to be credibleStudents are unsure of the howStudents can learn to recognizeSocial (classroom) norms matter What, then, do we know?

What We Can Do Possibilities

Talk about the Importance of RecognizingWhy recognizing is important Ethical Practical (e.g., credibility)Treat recognizing with importance Policy and/or grade

Using D2L – TurnItIn Imperfect but very helpful Can help students be more awareFrame as instructional not punitive Literature Review – DRAFT Literature Review – FINAL

Focus on TrainingSpend time on the processProvide examples Require evidence of mastery D2L QuizMinor assignment In-class exercises

ModelingBad ModelingBooks/Articles Minimize recognition EndnotesString citations May not “openly name” researchers Better Modeling Books/Articles Talk about incorporation Examples They Say/I Say Address the readings Their goals
