Exploring the antecedents of Student Academic Integrity: The Impact of Using Digital Technology Automated Short Essay Scoring (ASES) Assessment Models in Learning

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to acquire a deeper understanding of the decision-making processes of Indonesian students confronted with moral dilemmas in an educational institution setting. The study uncovered and highlighted significant relationships between subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, attitudes toward, and intentions regarding academic integrity. In addition, the research revealed that the relationship between subjective norms and academic integrity behavior, as well as the relationship between perceived behavior control and academic integrity behavior, is moderated by students' intentions. Methodology: Stratified random sampling was utilized to ensure that the findings were applied to Indonesia's entire population of university students. The decision to collect data from 400 students was influenced by statistical power, effect magnitude, and available resources. SEM-PLS is utilized to analyze the data. Results: This study's findings indicate that several factors considerably influence Indonesian university students' ethical behavior. These elements include subjective norms, the perception of behavioral control, attitudes, and intentions. Based on the findings, it appears that the Automated Short Essay Scoring (ASES) component of digital technology could potentially mediate students' academic integrity aspirations and their subsequent actions. This suggests that the extent of ASES usage may influence the correlation between intentions and subsequent behavior. Implications: Significant implications exist for educational institutions and policymakers who prioritize nurturing a culture of academic integrity and increasing students' commitment to ethical behavior. The previous sentence listed these institutions and policymakers. Novelty: This study is among the first to examine academic integrity issues among Indonesian students.
