Abstract
Purpose: In this project we aim to discover what differences exist between how students and faculty perceive plagiarism in a post-secondary context. To do this, we will work with two sets of research participants: faculty members and students. Our research question is: What gaps, if any, exist between faculty members' and students' perceptions of plagiarism? Methods: We will use a scenario-based questionnaire administered to two groups of research participants: faculty members and students. Results: We anticipate the results might show differences in how faculty members and students perceive plagiarism. Implications: This work has the potential to develop further training for faculty members and students, possibly leading to a better understanding of what plagiarism is and how to identify it. Additional Materials: The research team has developed a scenario-based instrument specific to this study.
