ABSTRACT
Cheating remains an academic integrity problem at the senior high school level, while findings on the role of self-efficacy in this behavior remain inconsistent. This study aimed to examine academic self-efficacy as a predictor of cheating behavior among senior high school students. The study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional correlational-predictive design. Participants were 85 twelfth-grade social science students at a public senior high school in Trenggalek Regency, Indonesia, recruited through total sampling. Self-efficacy was measured using an adapted version of the General Self-Efficacy Scale consisting of 10 items (α = .880), whereas cheating behavior was measured using a scale developed from Cizek’s three dimensions of cheating consisting of 17 items (α = .820) after content validation and item selection. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression after the assumptions of normality, linearity, and homoscedasticity were met. The results showed that self-efficacy positively and significantly predicted cheating behavior (b = 0.238; β = 0.226; p = .037), accounting for 5.1% of its variance. This direction differs from most previous studies, which reported a negative relationship. Sensitivity analyses indicated that the relationship was weak and sensitive to extreme scores; therefore, it should be interpreted with caution. The findings suggest that high self-confidence does not automatically prevent students from cheating when it is not accompanied by the internalization of academic honesty. Schools need to combine the strengthening of self-efficacy with academic integrity education and consistent examination supervision.
ABSTRAK
Perilaku menyontek masih menjadi persoalan integritas akademik pada jenjang sekolah menengah atas, sementara temuan mengenai peran efikasi diri terhadap perilaku tersebut belum konsisten. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji efikasi diri akademik sebagai prediktor perilaku menyontek pada siswa sekolah menengah atas. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional-prediktif potong lintang. Partisipan berjumlah 85 siswa kelas XII jurusan Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial pada sebuah Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) Negeri di Kabupaten Trenggalek yang dipilih melalui teknik sampling jenuh. Efikasi diri diukur menggunakan adaptasi General Self-Efficacy Scale yang terdiri atas 10 butir (α = 0,880), sedangkan perilaku menyontek diukur menggunakan skala yang disusun berdasarkan tiga dimensi menyontek menurut Cizek yang terdiri atas 17 butir (α = 0,820) setelah melalui uji validitas isi dan seleksi butir. Data dianalisis menggunakan regresi linear sederhana setelah asumsi normalitas, linearitas, dan homoskedastisitas terpenuhi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa efikasi diri memprediksi perilaku menyontek secara positif dan signifikan (b = 0,238; β = 0,226; p = 0,037) dengan kontribusi sebesar 5,1%. Arah hubungan tersebut berbeda dari sebagian besar penelitian terdahulu yang melaporkan hubungan negatif. Analisis sensitivitas menunjukkan bahwa hubungan tersebut lemah dan rentan terhadap skor ekstrem sehingga perlu ditafsirkan secara hati-hati. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa keyakinan diri yang tinggi tidak dengan sendirinya mencegah siswa menyontek apabila tidak disertai penguatan nilai kejujuran akademik. Sekolah perlu memadukan penguatan efikasi diri dengan pembinaan integritas akademik dan pengawasan ujian yang konsisten.
