Abstract

Objective: To evaluate predictors of the use of anti-plagiarism detection tools (APTs) in higher education institutions.

Methods: An online survey based on the theory of planned behavior was sent to members of science faculties in Jordan. Multivariate Logistic regression was conducted to determine predictors of previous use of APTs, and multivariate linear regression to predict future intentions.

Results: A total of 173 faculty members completed the survey, with 78.13% indicating previous APTs use. Turnitin® (43%) and Ithenticate® (32.8%) were the most commonly used APTs. These tools were mainly used to evaluate papers before sending them to journals (65.5%) and to detect plagiarism in theses/dissertations (50.4%). Predictors of previous use were academic rank (p  =  0.02) and perceived understanding of APT use (p  =  0.043). Intentions for future use were predicted by attitudes (p < 0.001) and perceived behavioral control (p  =  0.036).

Conclusion: The theory of planned behavior successfully predicted intentions to use APTs. The use of APTs should be encouraged to all faculty members and students.

教师对反抄袭检测工具的认知与态度:运用计划行为理论。
目的:探讨高校反抄袭检测工具(APTs)使用的预测因素。方法:以计划行为理论为基础,对约旦的科学院系成员进行在线调查。采用多元逻辑回归确定既往使用APTs的预测因素,并采用多元线性回归预测未来使用意向。结果:共有173名教师完成了调查,78.13%的人表示以前使用过APTs。Turnitin®(43%)和Ithenticate®(32.8%)是最常用的APTs。这些工具主要用于论文投稿前的评估(65.5%)和检测论文/学位论文的抄袭(50.4%)。预测因子为学术等级(p = 0.02)和对APT使用的感知理解(p = 0.043)。结论:计划行为理论成功地预测了apt的使用意向。应该鼓励所有教师和学生使用apt。
