'''CASE SENARIO: '''

'In a secondary school special education classroom, Ms. Chen implements a variety of assessment strategies to accommodate the diverse learning needs of her students. As part of her commitment to inclusive education, Ms. Chen provides alternative assessment options, such as oral presentations, projects, and hands-on demonstrations, in addition to traditional written tests and quizzes. However, during a review of student assessments, Ms. Chen notices similarities between the responses of two students, Jamal and Maria, in their written test answers. Both students provide nearly identical responses to several questions, raising concerns about potential collaboration or plagiarism.'

Analyse The Case

To analyse the case of potential plagiarism in Ms. Chen inclusive class, Ms. Chen can consider the following aspects:

1. Examine the answers

- Start by looking over Jamal and Maria's written test responses in great detail. Seek for particular situations where their answers are almost the same. Ms. Chen can make a note of the inquiries, the substance of the responses, and any additional pertinent information.

2. Do the student interviews

- Ms. Chen can ask Jamal and Maria separately on how they prepare their test-taking process. Ms. Chen can ask immediately right after their presentation about how they managed to get their external sources. The answer can be two, first whether they get the sources from their senior’s course batch or they do it together.

3. Check their previous answer test

- If Ms. Chen can’t detect that there are the case of potential plagiarism within Jamal and Maria, Ms. Chen can check their previous answer test. Ms. Chen can review their writing style and their patterns of understanding on how they provide their answer. By reviewing their pattern of writing, Ms. Chen can detect whether their current test answers and previous answers test have consistent patterns or deviations.

4. Use tools of technology

- Ms. Chen can easily use Turnitin plagiarism tools to check the answers test from Jamal and Maria. When using Turnitin, Ms. Chen can detect whether they paraphrased the external sources or not. Moreover, by using Turnitin Ms. Chen can also get the list of their external sources. When paraphrasing, it's mandatory to rephrase the original text while retaining the original meaning. As a matter of fact, I personally think that Turnitin can really helps Ms. Chen to detect whether Jamal and Maria had the highest potential of plagiarism or not.

5. Analyse evaluation strategies

- Determine how well Ms. Chen's evaluation techniques encourage learning and avoid plagiarism. Think about if the many alternative assessment options—like projects and oral presentations—address the students' different learning demands and encourage different ideas.

Ethical Issues

The case of potential plagiarism in Ms. Chen inclusive class raises several ethical issues: 1. Violation of academic integrity

- Plagiarism undermines the principles of academic honesty and integrity. When Ms. Chen notices similarities between the responses of two students, Jamal and Maria, in their written test answers. It is raising concerns about potential collaboration or plagiarism. It devalues the effort put forth by honest students and distrorts academic evaluation. Encouraging honest and responsible collaboration while discouraging plagiarism is essential for maintaining the integrity of academic institutions. 2. Create diminished trust

- If Ms. Chen can detect that her students had the highest potential of plagiarism or not, it will create diminished trust that plagiarism erodes trust between students, educators and institutions. To address these ethical issues requires clear guidelines on collaboration, proper attribution of sources, and education on academic integrity. When these ethical issues arise, it undermines the credibility of academic assessments and the value of educational credentials. 3. Unfair advantage

- Plagiarism confers unfair advantages by enabling individuals to present others’ work as their own. This unethical practice can lead to undeserved academic or professional, creating a false impression of competence or expertise. When students collaborate excessively or inappropriately, it can provide an unfair advantage over others. For example, if Ms. Chen can detect the plagiarism of her students, it will provide an unfair advantage over others who work independently or within the bounds of ethical collaboration.

4. Hinders Learning

- Plagiarism prevents students from developing their own critical thinking and research skills. By simply copying the work of others, they are not learning how to analyze information, form their own arguments, and express themselves in a clear and concise way. For example, the similarities between the responses of two students, Jamal and Maria, in their written test answers that might be plagiarism can give negative impact on their learning.

5. Dishonest Behaviour

- It would be dishonest if Jamal and Maria indeed plagiarized based on their nearly identical responses to several questions in their written test answers. This indicates a lack of honesty, as they are copying answers or ideas from others rather than generating their own. This situation would result in inaccuracies in the evaluation of students conducted by Ms. Chen due to the occurrence of plagiarism.

Strategies

The case of potential plagiarism in Ms. Chen inclusive class can be solve by several ways:

1. Plagiarism Prevention Program

- For students, copying others' work might not seem like a false. Therefore, teachers need to educate students about the issue of plagiarism. Teachers should explain the definition, factors contributing to plagiarism, and the consequences for those found guilty of it. Teachers should also inform students about ways to overcome plagiarism.

2. Diverse Assessments

- Teachers can conduct assessments in various ways, such as oral, written, and practical examinations. By using diverse assessment methods, teachers can identify whether students like Jamal and Maria are still collaborating or plagiarism. Additionally, teachers can evaluate the students' actual knowledge and the effectiveness of their teaching.

3. Regulations

- Teachers can set rules for students. For example, teachers can warn and remind students that collaborating or plagiarism during exams is a serious offense. Strict actions will be taken against students who are collaborating or plagiarism. Teachers will give zero marks to students who collaborating, attempt to collaborating or plagiarism, and those who assist it. Disciplinary actions will also be taken.

4. Counseling

- If a student is found plagiarism, the teacher can refer the student to the school's Guidance and Counseling Unit. The counselor can provide advice and support to the student who committed plagiarism. Students might have specific reasons that lead them to plagiarism. Perhaps other friends do not want to share knowledge and study with him. So, the student took the step to plagiarism during the examination.
