Here at International School Dhaka we have recently developed an 'Academic Honesty' protocol and aim to support students in their studies by making it very clear what is acceptable in terms of orginality of work. In conjunction with a citation system students need to know that they can use words and phrases not belonging to them but must acknowledge their source. We employ two tools to help teachers and students with citation and detecting non-original work.
These are:
- NoodleBib: A comprehensive and accurate MLA and APA style bibliographic composer
- turinitin.com: Online plagiarism prevention software that promotes originality in student work
- Convey expectations readily to students
- Require works cited (Bibliography, references)
- Assess the writing process
- Requires oral student presentations
- Require students ot compare and synthesise
- Teach students to critically question source validity
- Require students to blog
- Use assessment rubrics including peer reviews
