Abstract

The purpose of this article is to describe the trends in academic integrity among high school students. This research employs a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional survey technique. The subjects participating in the study come from two different provincial school backgrounds, namely South Sumatra and West Java. Sample selection was distributed through proportional random sampling. From the formulation results, the total sample of high school students obtained was 185 students in South Sumatra and 185 students in West Java. The data collection technique was through a scale with Likert scale provisions of 1-5 (strongly disagree to strongly agree). Data analysis utilized a variable description concerning academic integrity. Based on the results of the academic integrity analysis, it can be concluded that, in general, students in both South Sumatra and West Java possess good academic integrity. Three indicators assessed as the most significant in forming student integrity are consistency in words and actions, being wise and mature, and being honest. Studies limited to high schools in certain areas may not adequately represent the diverse experiences of students across various geographical and cultural environments, thus the results might not be universally applicable. This study offers an opportunity to understand academic integrity in high schools further and to explore effective strategies for developing ethical values and behaviors among students.
