Few studies examine plagiarism in a Middle Eastern context, specifically from the perspectives of preservice teachers. As future gatekeepers of academic integrity, preservice teachers need to understand plagiarism. This study surveyed 128 female preservice teachers in one university in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The survey explores preservice teachers regarding their understandings and reasons for academic plagiarism and their responses to particular scenarios. Findings indicate that preservice teachers have a thorough comprehension of plagiarism and suggest a lack of knowledge of citing sources, weak writing skills, a lack of time, and not knowing the research process as reasons for plagiarism. Informants' responses to six scenarios are presented to illustrate their perspectives further. Discussion addresses language and cultural issues to contextualize the study.

很少有研究从中东背景下，特别是从职前教师的角度来审查窃行为。作为未来学术诚信的守门员，职前教师需要了解窃。这项研究调查了海湾合作委员会（GCC）国家一所大学中的128名女职前教师。该调查探讨了职前教师的理解，学业窃的原因以及他们对特定情况的反应。调查结果表明，职前教师对窃行为有充分的理解，并表明缺乏对引用来源的认识，写作技巧较弱，缺乏时间，并且不知道研究过程是窃的原因。提出了针对六个场景的信息提供者的回应，以进一步说明他们的观点。
