Abstract:
This study aims to find out an indication of academic dishonesty indicated and agreed upon by students and related to the orientation of mastery goals. Researchers propose the following hypothesis: Mastery orientation can negatively predict academic dishonesty. Research method was descriptive and correlational. A total of 307 subjects were students who had taken the first two semesters of lectures from several universities in Indonesia. The Academic Dishonesty Scale with ? = .81 (ADS; McCabe et al., 2001) and The Goal Orientation Scale with ? = .83 (GOS; Button & Mathieu, 1996). The Rasch model is used as a descriptive data analysis method to demonstrate the suitability of research instruments and multiple linear regression analysis to show inferential relationships. In accordance with the hypothesis of this study, the orientation of mastery goals is a negative predictor of academic dishonesty and is strengthened by the existence of a negative relationship. The findings in this study are discussed more deeply.
