Bamford, Jan and Sergiou, Katerina (2005) International students and plagiarism : an analysis of the reasons for plagiarism among international foundation students. Investigations in university teaching and learning, 2 (2). pp. 17-22. ISSN 1740-5106
Plagiarism is regarded as a serious academic offence, although more often than not it results from misunderstanding rather than a deliberate intention to cheat. This pilot study attempted to explore the extent of plagiarism amongst a cohort of international foundation students and the reasons why they plagiarise. This study will be followed with a comparative study that will look at the differences in understanding between home (UK) foundation students and international foundation students. An issue to be explored is the usefulness of the distinction between intentional and unintentional plagiarism.
