在全球的高等教育中,抄襲已成為一個嚴重的問題。科技與網路的發展讓學生更容易觸犯抄襲行為,也讓老師更難察覺。近年來,如何避免抄襲已成為一個熱門的議題,並得到各大學教師、行政人員與研究人員的注意。基本上,有三種方法可以有效避免抄襲,並可將其融入於正式課程中:一是建立學生完整的抄襲與避免抄襲的知識,二是發展學生的改寫能力,三為訓練學生正確的引用技巧。但與西方其他國家相比,在台灣的高等教育中,避免抄襲相關的訓練課程卻是少之又少,此外,台灣大學生也普遍缺乏相關的知識與能力來避免抄襲。因此,本研究設計了一個融合線上寫作系統—DWright的英文寫作課程,目的為探究此英文寫作課程對發展台灣大學生避免抄襲的知識與英文改寫及引用能力的成效,以及他們對此英文寫作課程的看法與態度。
此研究共有14位台灣大學生參與,研究者採用行動研究(action research)來設計為期13週的英文寫作課程。在行動研究中,研究者也是教學者可以根據課程設計與學生的學習需求來調整課程的安排,因此,此英文寫作課程共包含兩個階段。第一階段的課程為混合式學習(blended learning),主要是由研究者教學,並引導學生搭配DWright系統學習;第二階段為自學課程,學生自行使用DWright系統,並透過完成三個自學任務來學習。
本研究採用量化及質性的混合式研究,量化資料主要來自學生在寫作課程結束後所填寫的問卷,質性資料則是學生三次的寫作作業、三次針對抄襲情境與英文改寫能力的測驗、三次自學任務與訪談的結果。
本研究結果顯示,學生對融入DWright系統至日常的英文寫作課程感到很喜歡並持正面的態度。此外,學生肯定整體英文寫作課程的學習成效,認為經過這13週的英文寫作課程,他們學到了避免抄襲的知識,並增進他們英文改寫與引用的知識與能力。學生也表示他們對如何避免抄襲更有信心,也有信心能夠用英文改寫及引用地更好。整體而言,本研究提供一些實用的教學建議給研究者與教學者,幫助他們未來融合線上寫作系統來設計相關的寫作課程,並發展學生避免抄襲的知識與能力。
Plagiarism is a serious problem in higher education around the world. With the development of technology and Internet, the behavior of plagiarism becomes easier for students to commit, but harder for teachers to detect. Recently, the issue of how to avoid plagiarism has been receiving attention from instructors, administrators and researchers at various universities and colleges. Basically, three ways are believed to be practical to fight against plagiarism, and they can be integrated into formal instruction: (a) well-built knowledge of plagiarism and plagiarism avoidance; (b) proper and mature paraphrasing skills; and (c) correct and complete citation and referencing. However, compared to most Western countries, in the higher education of Taiwan, there are few formal instructions focusing on these plagiarism-avoidance techniques. Moreover, Taiwanese undergraduate students generally have limited knowledge and ability to prevent themselves from plagiarism. Therefore, in the present study, the researcher designed an English composition instruction with the integration of an online writing tutorial system—DWright to teach and guide Taiwanese EFL undergraduate students to learn the concept of plagiarism avoidance, enhance their English paraphrasing skills, and develop correct citation skills. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of using DWright as a teaching tool and learning material in a regular English Composition course to help Taiwanese undergraduate students develop their knowledge and awareness about plagiarism avoidance, and to facilitate their paraphrasing skills in English, and also develop correct and complete English citation knowledge. Moreover, students’ perception toward using the DWright system in the writing instruction was investigated as well.
Fourteen undergraduate students from a research-based university in Taiwan participated in this study. The researcher adopted action research to design a 13-week English writing course in this study. Action research encourages the researcher to conduct multiple cycles in the action research project based on the course design and students’ learning needs. Therefore, two phases of English writing instructions were implemented in this study. In the first phase, participants learned the materials in a blended learning environment, combined with the researcher’s instruction and the use of DWright. The second phase is a self-learning session. Participants used DWright by themselves, and learned the contents by completing a couple of designed tasks.
A qualitative method combined with descriptive statistics was used in this research. Post-course questionnaire was analyzed quantitatively. Students’ three writing assignments, pre-, post, and delayed tests, self-learning designed tasks and interview data were analyzed qualitatively in order to answer the research questions.
The result shows that students held a positive attitude to the use of DWright in the regular English Composition course. Moreover, they thought the writing instruction with the use of DWright was helpful to develop their knowledge of plagiarism avoidance, and enhance their English paraphrasing and citation knowledge and skills. They also claimed that they felt more confident in avoiding plagiarism and performing better English paraphrasing and citation skills in their written works. In sum, the current research provides some pedagogical implications for researchers and instructors who intend to incorporate online writing tutorial systems in their writing instruction to develop students’ ability to avoid plagiarism in their school lives and future works.
