Abstract

This article aims to show some of the lessons and results drawn from the research “The academic plagiarism among students of ESO of Andalusia” with reference EDU2009-14019-C02-02 funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation. The project aims, among others, was to capture what was the concept that students of ESO in Andalusia entertained on the Cyberplagiarism. The analysis of academic plagiarism is just the tip of the iceberg of a much deeper issue as academic integrity (Morey, Sureda, Oliver & Comas, 2013; Sureda et al., 2015). We will focus in this article on dishonest practices in the development of academic written-work: their sense, gravity and the reasons that encourage these practices among students in ESO Andalusia. Some reasons are the procasting the ignorance about the plagiarism and the difficulties to do some tasks. It was used as a major research tool a quesDOI: ri14.v15i2.1054 | ISSN: 1697-8293 | Julio - diciembre 2017 Volumen 15 Nº 2 | ICONO14 Sentido, gravedad y razones del ciberplagio entre el alumnado de ESO de Andalucía | 3 ARTÍCULOS DE INVESTIGACIÓN tionnaire designed based on previous research about plagiarism.
