Detection of plagiarism in physics post laboratory reports by college students
Abstract
In this research, students who are taking non-engineering Physics Laboratory courses were asked to answer a survey involving, their knowledge in plagiarism and the attitudes towards plagiarism. The first part of the research consists of students' knowledge on plagiarism by letting the students answer the questionnaires. Then, 207 laboratory reports were analyzed to determine the trends on how students construct their post laboratory reports. Interestingly, there is a strong positive correlation between the scores from the post laboratory reports, which means to say that students tend to copy more even if they are aware that it is unethical.
