Why do students plagiarize? with the ability to copy and paste text, some students use the work of others as
their own or they fai to cite sources appropriately
To avoid plagiarism: 1. always credit a source when the information used is not your own and it is not
considered common knowledge
2. always credit a source when using text verbatim in order to provide a quote
3. summarizing or paraphrasing the ideas of another author always requires a
citation and the resulting interpretation must be significantly different from the
original text
4. submitting the same research paper in multiple classes for multiple publications
is considered self-plagiarism, and is subject to the same rules and penalties used
for plagiarizing the work of others

Intrinsic Motivation type of motivation based on inherent enjoyment and satisfaction
Extrinsic Motivation type of motivation based on gaining rewards or avoiding negative consequences
The effect of motivation on behaviors Extrinsic rewards diminish a person's intrinsic motivation for tasks and activities
Performance Orientation the goal of learning and accomplishing tasks based on the desire to outperform
others and validate their own ability
, Influence of Performance Orientation students feel more driven to prove their ability which allows them to approach
tasks with determination
Mastery Orientation goal of learning and accomplishing tasks based on personal standards of
excellence with hopes to improve
Influence of Mastery Orientation students feel more driven to build their understanding and they approach class
with curiosity and with the desire to improve their ability
People with Learning Goals people with these goals choose tasks that maximize opportunities for learning,
are more likely to be intrinsically motivated to learn course material and seek
feedback that accurately describes their ability, view errors as part of the learning
process and interpret failure as a sign they need to exert more effort, are satisfied
with their performance if they try hard (even if their efforts result in failure), believe
teachers are a resource that help them learn, and are more likely to be actively
involved in school activities
People with Performance Goals people with these goals choose tasks that maximize opportunities for
demonstrating their ability, are more likely to be extrinsically motivated, seek
feedback that flatters them, evaluate their own performance in terms of how they
compare with others, view errors as a failure and a sign of low ability, are satisfied
with their performance only if they succeed, view a teacher as a judge, and are
more likely to distance themselves from the school environment
Self-efficacy individual beliefs in the ability or capacity to complete certain tasks or attain
specific goals
The Role of Self-Efficacy in Learning the act of believing a task is easier to complete than it actually is can lead you to
ignore necessary preparations
Factors that Influence Self-Efficacy factors include past successes, comparison to peers who are successful, positive
verbal feedback from credible people, or positive feelings
Attributions a person's explanation for success or failure
Three Causal Dimensions Locus of Causality: the location of the cause whether it is internal or external to
the person
Stability: whether the cause remains the same over a long period of time and in
different circumstances
Controllability: whether a person believes that the cause is under their control
How do personal attributions relate to academic students who make internal, controllable attributions are more likely to have
behaviors and learning strategies? higher self-efficacy and use more complex learning strategies that help them
overcome difficulties and failures
Fixed Mindset a belief that abilities and intelligence cannot be changed
Growth Mindset a belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed over time
