Enquiry Abstract Much literature characterises students of Asian heritage as serial plagiarisers because of the way they have been taught to use seminal texts. However, research by two academics at the University of Western Sydney shows that plagiarism is more related to social and economic conditions. In attempting to assist students, the researchers developed a set of free modules available on the university's website. An investigation of student use of these modules demonstrated that many students struggle with academic writing and referencing. Speaker Dr. Marilyn Kell lectures at the University of Western Sydney in the Master of Special Education and Master of Teaching (Secondary) programs. Her research interests focus on the experience of those who struggle with literacy, in particular understanding the barriers to learning and evidence of multiple forms of literacy. |
