Abstract

This study aims to analyse plagiarism in student thesis writing: A case study in the English Education Study Program at the University of Mataram. This research focused on analysing the types of plagiarism and the sources most used by students of the English Education Study Program in writing their thesis. The sample for this study was five students who wrote a thesis at the English Education Study Program in the first quarter of 2023. Document analysis was used as a research instrument. In collecting data, researchers used Turnitin as a medium to find plagiarized texts in the research samples. From the data analysed, it was found that 77 sentences were included in the plagiarism samples. Of the ten types of plagiarism detected by Turnitin, four types of plagiarism were found, including: 33 types of Clone, 35 types of Control-C, 3 types of Find-Replace, and 6 types of Recycle. Data tracked as plagiarism was taken by students from various sources, they are: Journals (38%), Theses (35%), Websites (26%), and Articles (1%) out of 100% of the data. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that students of the English Education Study Program still commit acts of plagiarism in their thesis writing. Student awareness of plagiarism is still low, so it is very important for students to improve their writing skills, especially in avoiding plagiarism.
