Thói quen tham khảo tài liệu khi viết đoạn trên Google Docs và mối tương quan với các biến tố tác động: khảo sát nhóm sinh viên trong học phần “Tiếng Việt thực hành”

Tóm tắt

Although Google Docs is utilized as an effective supporting tool for writing, the issue of undergraduates’ referencing when they write paragraphs at home has been almost unexplored. To shed light into this issue, this survey was conducted on a group of undergraduates (N = 164) in a multidisciplinary university based in the Mekong Delta. A descriptive analysis by using SPSS showed that most of participating students admitted to reference “Occasionally” when writing at home. Enhanced confidence, habitual referencing, easy access to referential resources and strong desire for higher grades are four positive correlational factors for more frequent referencing among undergraduates. This study suggests solutions for both instructors, managers and undergraduates to better support undergraduates in writing and emphasizes prevention and detection of students’ copying to assure an academic integrity environment.
