Teachable Moment - plagiarism - 0 views

  • Let's assume you have engaged students in worthwhile class work and it is time for them to involve themselves in an inquiry related to it and of interest to them. Forget about "research," forget about "the term paper,î abandon the often calcified list of "subjects." Here is a proposed series of steps and assignments for the process.
  • * "significant learningî ó that which raises questions and problems whose answers and solutions promote further curiosity and learning that have the potential to develop into a lifelong pursuit.
  • Assignment A: Ask students to prepare three carefully worded questions on a matter related to classwork whose answers they might like to pursue.

  • If you feel there is no time for such a procedure (and if you are correct in your assessment), then you have the following options: Launch a campaign with other teachers directed at the problems and/or people responsible for making time unavailable so that it can be made available. If that fails, at least eliminate "research" and "term papers" from the curriculum on educational grounds.Use as much of the procedure as you can to promote inquiry and to eliminate as much plagiarism as possible.Continue to teach as in the past.Quit and find a more honorable line of work.
