Turning plagiarism and other academic misconduct into teachable moments

A whitepaper from Turnitin

With every student setback there is an opportunity for growth. Misconduct checking serves as a teaching opportunity to promote originality.

Over the years, writing pedagogy has evolved to support student learning needs as well as improve student learning outcomes. But in the case of academic misconduct such as plagiarism or AI misuse, there is little focus on teaching strategies to facilitate original thinking in student writing.

The outcome for academic misconduct is largely punitive, which overlooks teachable moments in its aftermath—and most notably, overlooks a pedagogical strategy towards deterrence. In this paper, we discuss the ways in which misconduct checking serves as a teaching opportunity to promote originality.

In this whitepaper, you’ll learn about:

The state of feedback in writing instruction
Challenges in feedback and misconduct
Misconduct deterrence today
Transforming misconduct checking into learning
