ABSTRACT
Academicians are prominently engaged in plagiarism actions of the students for many years. On the other hand, change from traditional education to online so rapidly, because of Covid19 pandemics, caused a sharp increase in plagiarism actions of undergraduate students. Accordingly, taking precautions to prevent plagiarism became more important. Aim: The aim of the present study is to find out if a course constituted by plagiarism issues would be efficient in improving plagiarism knowledge of Information and Records Management (IRM) students. Method: Single grouped semiexperimental research design was adopted for the current study. Four different measuring were used for data collection process. Analysis of the data were carried out utilizing frequencies, percentages, means calculations, and t-tests. Findings: Significant differences were found between pretests and posttests in each measurments of the four measuring processes, in favour of posttests, but age and gender were found not to cause any significant differences. Conclusion: It is found that the course created a significant improvement in undergraduate student's knowledge of plagiarism and its applications. Significancy: Although there are a great number of research giving courses trying to prevent undergraduate students' plagiarism actions of different fields, there is a lack of experimental research targetting IRM students. Thus, the study is significant in filing the gap in the literature, and hope to be exemplar for those researchers to make research in the field.
