Question

Determine the type of plagiarism.

Original Source Material
Educational processes and systems are complex, and any attempt to measure them, especially at this level of aggregation, can only lead to broad and general discussions. However, we contend that this discussion is necessary. Further, attempting to measure global processes in education may provide another puzzle piece to theoreticians as well as national and local policy-makers, who are working at understanding and, in the latter case, steering educational systems.

Student Version
After presenting their results the authors recognize that the nature of the data they have provided "can only lead to broad and general discussions" but also suggest "that this discussion is necessary" (Rutkowski & Rutkowski, 2009, p. 150).
