- Abstract
The issue of plagiarism is increasingly widespread along with technological developments. The ease of accessing digital information forces academics to be more attentive to the issue of plagiarism. Related to the issue, this study explores the awareness of academics on the act of plagiarism. This study applied a quantitative method using a questionnaire involving 55 faculties at IAIN Bone. The result of the study shows that about 92.7% of the faculty dedicated to introducing general knowledge of plagiarism, including the terms and forms of plagiarism to students, then 63% the faculty find the students they teach or supervise committing plagiarism in academic writing, in addition approximately 85, 5%, made certain efforts related to the prevention of students’ plagiarism. Kinds of prevention efforts that the faculty eventually done include introducing students to the risks of plagiarism, educating students on how to deal with plagiarism through providing tips and tricks to avoid it, warning students by giving sanctions for those who commit plagiarism, and using plagiarism detection tools/software to detect plagiarism on students’ assignment. In conclusion, academics have made efforts to introduce the issue of plagiarism to students but still need to make continuous efforts to minimize the occurrence of academic dishonesty, especially plagiarism issues at the higher education level.
