Abstract

The issue regarding plagiarism, a kind of academic dishonesty act, continue to be a worldwide concern. This study then examines the higher students’ knowledge and experience of committing plagiarism. This study adopted descriptive quantitative research using the survey method—the collection data stage using an online questionnaire by involving 1.286 students of IAIN Bone as respondents. The findings of this study indicate three categories of students’ knowledge and understanding about plagiarism; 4.1% of students are not familiar with plagiarism terms, 95.43% of students already knew what plagiarism in term is. However, they have partially understood this issue. Plagiarism is regarded as totally taking someone else’s work or copying another’s original ideas without crediting the source; 0.47% of students are familiar with plagiarism terms and understand this issue adequately. Furthermore, there are three categories about their experience committing plagiarism; 4.74% of students did not realize that plagiarism is an improper action, 7.47% of students have a partial understanding about this issue, so they are unsure whether they had ever committed plagiarism or not, while 87.79% students still frequently engaged in plagiarism notwithstanding they realized that plagiarism is academic dishonesty. In conclusion, most students have general knowledge about plagiarism but no in-depth understanding of this issue. Most of them committed plagiarism, even though they know that plagiarism is an academic crime.

超越学术不诚信:高校学生剽窃行为的知识与经验调查
抄袭是一种学术不诚实行为,一直是全世界关注的问题。然后,本研究考察了高等院校学生抄袭的知识和经验。本研究采用描述性定量研究,采用调查法-收集数据阶段,采用在线问卷调查的方式,以IAIN Bone学院的1.286名学生为调查对象。研究结果显示,学生对抄袭的认知和理解分为三类;4.1%的学生不熟悉抄袭术语,95.43%的学生已经知道什么是抄袭术语。然而,他们对这个问题有部分的理解。抄袭被认为是完全采用他人的作品或复制他人的原创想法而不注明出处;0.47%的学生熟悉抄袭术语,并充分理解这一问题。此外,他们的剽窃经历可以分为三类;4.74%的学生没有意识到抄袭是一种不正当行为,7.47%的学生对此问题有部分了解,因此他们不确定自己是否有过抄袭行为,而87.79%的学生在意识到抄袭是学术不诚实的情况下仍然频繁地进行抄袭。总之,大多数学生对抄袭有一般的了解,但对这个问题没有深入的了解。尽管他们知道抄袭是一种学术犯罪,但他们中的大多数人还是抄袭了。
