AN ANALYSIS ON STUDENTS’ USE OF ONLINE RESOURCES FOR WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS

Abstract:  The  purpose  of  this  research  is  to  find  out  whether  or  not  the students select credible online resource, and use the credible online resources in their research papers. This research also aimed to find out how the students integrate  online  resources  into  research  paper,  particularly,  using  paraphrase, summary,  and  direct  quotations  appropriately.  Using  case  study  method,  the researcher  interviewed  4  sixth  semester  students  of  English  Education  Study Program,  academic  year  2012/2013,  and  analyzed  their  research  papers.  The data  revealed  that  students  applied  3  criteria  in  selecting  credible  online resources: authority, currency, and content. The data also shows that most of the online resources were integrated inappropriately into students’ research paper.  This  occurred  because  the  students  encountered  some  difficulties,  for instance,  the  difficulty  of  rephrasing  online  resources  by  using  their  own words,  and  the  difficulty  in  retaining  the  meaning  of  the  texts  of  online sources that were used as references.
