RUIZ LEDESMA, Elena Fabiola. Tutorial action plan to avoid plagiarism in basic training subjects. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.16, pp.464-492. ISSN 2007-7467.  https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v8i16.352.

The present article shows the development of a Tutorial Plan that identifies and proposes strategies to help the students of one of the Academic Units of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN), to prevent them from engaging in academic plagiarism practices as in solving problems and exercises.

The study is based on the sociocritical paradigm, as it is intended that students reflect and understand how harmful it is to engage in plagiarism practices.

This study examined 60 students who attended two basic training learning units (Applied Calculus and Probability and Statistics). In order to make decisions in the development of the action plan, it was essential to know the profile of the students, which was identified through the diagnostic phase.

Some types of factors to be considered in the proposed problem are: epistemological, social, demographic, didactic, and others. A questionnaire and interview were used as methodological instruments, which gathered information that allowed for a quantitative analysis. This information determined categories that led to the discovery of a qualitative analysis, which allowed the proposition of plagiarism-ceasing strategies to students as well as ways that can help them improve their academic achievement in mathematics.
