Cranfield School of Managementfound almost six in ten schoolchildrenwere copying information directly

　　from websites for homework tasks without

　　properly reading it.

　　More than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice,

　　even though they know it was considered plagiarism(剽窃).

　　The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18 at a secondary school in the Midlands, raised concerns that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people.

　　Andrew Kakabadse, professor of international management development at Cranfield, said, “Our research shows that technology obsession(痴迷)prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, and disturbs classroom learning. ”

　　“Despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day. ”

　　The report revealed that so-called“text-speak”was increasingly finding it was into pupils’ school work.

　　Three in ten students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as“r u ok”in essays and classroom tasks.

　　It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of the teachers failed to understand some pupils’ writing because it was so full of confusing language.
