ACADEMIC HONESTY MYP International baccalaureate Lynn Swannell 2019

ACADEMIC HONESTY Refers to work that is based on the student’s own ideas and which properly acknowledges others’ authorship and ideas When other sources are used or referenced then these must be documented appropriately (IB, 2011, p2)

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) considers this as the “legal rights which result from intellectual activity in the industrial, scientific, literary and artistic fields” (WIPO, 2004) Both creative and intellectual forms of expression must be respected and are protected by national and international law

malpractice This is considered to be the “behaviour that results in, or may result in, the student gaining unfair advantage in one or more assessment component.” (IB, 2011,p3) It includes: Plagiarism – presenting others’ ideas as his/her work Collusion – allowing individual work to be copied by another student or any form of promoting malpractice by another student Duplication of work – when the same piece of work is submitted for different assessment purposes within the program Any behaviour that gives unfair advantage to the student or that affects the results of another student

Preventing malpractice Use different research and study skills Take notes using your own words and ensure you keep a list of references and sources used Follow correct ‘citation’ and ‘referencing’ procedures Develop your own ideas by discussing, inquiring and creating Always include a bibliography which acknowledges your sources

Bibliographies What is a bibliography? A bibliography is an alphabetical list of the sources – books, newspapers, journals, DVDs, Internet, interviews, etc. – that have been used to prepare a piece of work. Why write bibliographies? To acknowledge the sources used. To give readers information to identify and consult the sources used. To make sure the information is accurate. What if a bibliography is not included? The writer may be accused of plagiarism (that is, stealing another person’s idea or writing).
