Abstract

Abstract: Plagiarism Prevention in Thesis Writing: An Attempt to Strengthen
Character Building in the Academic World. The study is aimed at describing
plagiarism in thesis writing at a tertiary educational institution. The study was
conducted in the Javanese Department, Faculty of Language and Arts, Yogyakarta
State University. The data were collected through in-depth interviews and
observations, and analysed using the explanatory approach, espesially the
qualitative descriptive technique. The findings show that plagiarism in thesis
writing includes duplicating, consisting of (1) duplicating titles, (2) duplicating
contents, (3) duplicating theories, (4) duplicating, and (5) duplicating references.
The process approach in thesis writing can be used to prevent plagiarism. Such an
approach consists of steps as follows: returning the thesis draft, showing original
sources, and cancelling the thesis. These can be carried out by investigating,
discussing, evaluating, and presenting thesis titles and contents.
