An educational intervention significantly improved pharmacy students' ability to detect plagiarism. This training is crucial for academic integrity in doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) programs.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy education
- Academic integrity
Background:
- Plagiarism poses a significant challenge in academic settings.
- Ensuring students can identify and avoid plagiarism is vital for ethical scholarship.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the impact of an educational intervention on pharmacy students' plagiarism identification skills.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of targeted education in enhancing academic integrity.
Main Methods:
- A pre- and post-intervention assessment design was employed.
- First-year (P1), second-year (P2), and third-year (P3) pharmacy students participated.
- An educational session covered plagiarism types and avoidance strategies.
Main Results:
- A 4% increase in assessment scores was observed post-intervention (p<0.05).
- The most substantial improvements were noted in P1 (5%) and P2 (4.8%) students.
- 252 students completed both assessments, providing robust data.
Conclusions:
- Educational interventions are effective in improving pharmacy students' ability to identify plagiarism.
- Targeted training can enhance academic integrity within doctor of pharmacy programs.
