Plagiarism. A cut and paste generation
Description
This programme looks at the impact of the increased use of the internet in schools. At Ripon Grammar School in North Yorkshire staff develop independent research skills using the internet in unexpected subjects such as PE and biology. At a schools plagiarism workshop we see the difficulty in defining and responding to plagiarism in schools, and the Plagiarism Advisory Service warns of the need for schools to work to raise pupils awareness by educating pupils in the so-called cut and paste generation. At the University of Leeds students attend a compulsory Study Skills module after leaving school without any real knowledge of plagiarism, while at Hemsworth Arts and Community College near Pontefract staff use a plagiarism policy and teach Harvard referencing, demonstrating the small steps that can provide pupils with the awareness they need in internet research - in school life and beyond.
