The purpose of this study is to examine a group of university students’ views on the use of Turnitin® to identify and prevent plagiarism. The participants consist of 120 students (female = 68, male = 52, mean age = 21.7) out of 155 who responded to survey and taking Instructional Design, Teaching Methods II and Teaching Practice courses in the department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology at Hacettepe University in 2014 spring semester. The survey included 20 items related to students’ prior knowledge on academic honesty and their experiences on Turnitin® use (i.e., ease of use of the system, effects of Turnitin® use on preventing plagiarism). Descriptive statistics (percentages and frequencies) were used to analyze the data. The study revealed that the participants were aware that plagiarism was wrong, they had positive opinions on the use of Turnitin® to prevent plagiarism, but some of the participants were worried about the use of Turnitin®.

AŞIRMACILIĞI ÖNLEME VE AKADEMİK DÜRÜSTLÜĞÜ SAĞLAMADA TURNİTİN® KULLANIMINA İLİŞKİN ÖĞRENCİ GÖRÜŞLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ
Öz
Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir grup üniversite öğrencisinin aşırmacılığı tespit etme ve önlemede Turnitin® kullanımı ile ilgili görüşlerini incelemektir. Araştırmanın katılımcıları, 2014 Bahar döneminde Hacettepe Üniversitesi Bilgisayar ve Öğretim Teknolojileri Eğitimi Bölümü’nde Öğretim Tasarımı, Özel Öğretim Yöntemleri II ve Öğretmenlik Uygulaması derslerini alan toplam 155 öğrenci arasından anketi yanıtlayan 120 (Kız=68, Erkek=52, Yaş ortalaması=21,7) öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Veri toplamak amacıyla oluşturulan ankette öğrencilerin Turnitin® kullanmadan önce akademik dürüstlük hakkındaki bilgileri ve sistemi kullanma sürecindeki deneyimleri (örn. sistemin kullanım kolaylığı, sistemi kullanmanın aşırmacılığı önlemedeki etkileri) ile ilgili görüşlerini soran toplam 20 soru yer almaktadır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde betimsel istatistikler kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, katılımcıların aşırmacılığın yanlış bir şey olduğuna dair farkındalıklarının olduğunu, aşırmacılığı önlemede Turnitin® sisteminin kullanımına dönük olumlu görüşlere sahip olduklarını fakat Turnitin® kullanımının bazı katılımcıları endişelendirdiğini ortaya koymuştur.
