Question

original source material
in a complex task such as creating a website for learning, instructors may want to support the generation of multiple solutions in learners peer feedback. anonymity may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited. however, teachers need to know just how anonymity impacts the learning dynamic in order to make informed choices about when anonymous configurations are appropriate in peer feedback.

student version
we agree with the idea that teachers must know how hiding identity can influence a learning experience so that they can make intelligent decisions regarding when hiding identity is apt in peer feedback situations (howard, barrett, & frick, 2010). without this knowledge teachers could be creating peer feedback activities that result in feedback being shared that is very different than the type that was desired or expected.

which of the following is true for the student version above?

word - for - word plagiarism
paraphrasing plagiarism
this is not plagiarism

Explanation:

1. First, analyze the two versions: The student version rephrases the original idea about teachers needing to understand how anonymity affects learning for peer feedback, and properly cites the source (Howard, Barrett, & Frick, 2010).
2. Word - for - word plagiarism requires copying text directly without proper citation or with minor changes, which is not the case here as the wording is paraphrased.
3. Paraphrasing plagiarism occurs when someone rephrases another's ideas without proper citation, but here the source is cited. So, the student has appropriately paraphrased and cited, so it's not plagiarism.

Answer:

This is not plagiarism
