Jude Carroll, Oxford Brookes University, UK

Treating plagiarism as normal: institutional procedures that turn policy into practice

 

This case study describes how a UK university with 17,000 students, 650+ academic staff and 8 academic schools developed ways of dealing with plagiarism once the policies were agreed. In particular, the role of devising and administering fair, consistent punishments in a way that would not be onerous for individual academics and that would leave students feel their case was dealt with fairly and without undue delay. The role and function of Academic Misconduct officers was central to this end. The workshop will outline the processes used and share ways of reaching consensus on appropriate punishments and an opportunity to try out a tool designed to induct new Officers. The workshop explores the difficulties in establishing the role, the importance of monitoring compliance with university regulations, and discusses key issues which emerged. It offers recommendations for others considering how their institutions might review practice in deterring and punishing student plagiarism.

Workshop

 

The Critical Pole of Pedagogy in Plagiarism Prevention:

The Unley Ten Point Counter Plagiarism Strategy

 

Graham Taylor

Unley High School

 

The plagiarism debate is typically characterised as a problem of either teach-them-to-be-good or catch-them-at-it.  By themselves, neither approach has a realistic chance of success because teaching and learning processes are ignored.  By locating blame with the students, educators unconsciously absolve themselves of responsibility to examine their pedagogy.  This workshop presents the multi-faceted approach of the 10-step Counter Plagiarism Strategy developed at Unley High School.

Where to from here?

Interested delegates are invited to join a discussion on the way forward.

Would we like to see another conference on these topics?

Is there interest in establishing a collaborative group for the sharing of resources and facilitation of research partnerships?
