Plagiarism And Its (Disciplinary) Discontents: Towards An Interdisciplinary Theory And Pedagogy, Lisa Maruca Jan 2003

Plagiarism And Its (Disciplinary) Discontents: Towards An Interdisciplinary Theory And Pedagogy, Lisa Maruca

English Faculty Research Publications

Despite the abundance of literature on the topic, there is very little that can be called “common” about our common sense understanding of plagiarism. Taking a closer look at the history, rhetorical uses, and cultural practices of plagiarism, this essay reveals that this concept is multiple and heterogeneous, riddled with contradictions and blind spots. As a result, the article argues the overlapping, inter-related, yet distinct discourses of plagiarism that circulate within the academy can be usefully described as a “complex system.” In positing plagiarism as a complex system, this article has several goals. First, it shows how singular approaches to …

(2003) Transforming How Teachers Teach And How Students Learn, Laurance J. Splitter Jan 2003

(2003) Transforming How Teachers Teach And How Students Learn, Laurance J. Splitter

Collected Papers of Laurance J. Splitter

For some time, I have been interested in taking the idea of the community of inquiry (COI) beyond the context of philosophy and philosophy for children, to other subject areas and learning areas. We sometimes speak in impressively general terms about transforming "the classroom" into a community of inquiry assuming, perhaps, that once the practice of collective inquiry is established in one domain (eg philosophy), it will inevitably spread to others by the community itself. Another, somewhat more provocative way of stating this claim is to say that not only can subjects other than philosophy be taught as modes or …

Personal Projects And Motives For Drinking Behavior In College Students: An Exploratory Study, Nicole Ann Shiber

Goals are used as ways to guide behavior. Goals have also been suggested to be related to an individual's decisions to use alcohol. A well-accepted model is the motivational model of alcohol use which utilizes goals and other factors that weigh into the final common pathway” which is a motivationally influenced decision. Part of this motivational model are the four motives for drinking established by Cooper (1994), which are enhancement, coping, social, and conformity. In addition, this motivational model has a strong affective component and is considered an emotional regulation model of alcohol use. College students' general life goals for …
