Question

1. In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism.
Original Source Material:
Many physical education and health curricula have been developed to foster active, healthy lifestyles through various learning outcomes and objectives. Although such a goal may be desired and valued by our society, ways to achieve this goal are less understood. If elementary physical education is to assist children in developing skills and understanding that will serve as the foundation for future activities, then educators at all levels need to develop ways to foster these skills and understanding across numerous types of activities.

A) Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?
O Word-for-Word plagiarism
O Paraphrasing plagiarism
O This is not plagiarism

Answer 1

Answer:

This is not plagiarism

Explanation:

In research, the term plagiarism refers to the fact of taking someone else's ideas or concepts and use them as if they were one's own. In other words, when writing a paper, we use someone else's work and we don't quote the original authors and it seems as if the words were ours.

In this example, the student quoted the original author of the paper and used one of his quotes in his work but he did give the author credit and he didn't make it seem as if the words were the student's own words. Therefore, this doesn't classify as plagiarism.
