PENGARUH LAYANAN KONSELING DENGAN TEKNIK BEHAVIOR CONTRACT DALAM MENGURANGI PERILAKU MENYONTEK SISWA DI SMA “X” DI SIDOARJO

Cheating behavior is a deviant maladaptive behavior and has a negative impact, thus reflecting an interest in learning and learning that is not effective. The problem at SMA "X" in Sidoarjo is cheating behavior that occurs in students which is difficult to stop and becomes a culture every year. This study aims to determine the effect before and after counseling services are carried out with the behavior contract technique. This research method uses a pure experiment, namely Randomized Control Trial (RCT) in a random way to determine the experimental group and the control group in one class. The sample used was class 10 with a total of 20 students, 10 students became the experimental group and 10 students became the control group, each of which was given a pre-test and post-test using a Likert scale of cheating behavior. Data analysis technique used independent sample t test and paired sample test using JASP 0.16. Student cheating behavior before being given counseling services was 94.4 then after being given counseling it decreased by 76.3 and was supported by the hypothesis Ha was accepted because t = 3.606 p = 0.002 <0.05 and H0 was rejected, indicating a significant influence on the counseling behavior contract in reducing cheating behavior on students of SMA "X" in Sidoarjo.

THE INFLUENCE OF GREEDY, OPPORTUNITY, NEED AND EXPOSURE ON STUDENTS' ACADEMIC CHEATING PERFORMANCE

This study seeks to examine how students' academic cheating behavior is influenced by factors such as greed, opportunity, need, and exposure. The research employs a quantitative survey approach with an explanatory research design. The study population comprises 1,289 active students from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education at Siliwangi University, who are members of the class of 2020. A Proportional Random Sampling technique was used, resulting in a sample size of 305 respondents. Data was collected through questionnaires, and data analysis included multiple linear regression analysis, as well as partial and simultaneous hypothesis testing. The findings indicate that while greed does not significantly impact students' academic cheating behavior (p = 0.105), opportunity has a significant effect (p = 0.000), need also plays a significant role (p = 0.031), and exposure does not have a significant influence (p = 0.252). Additionally, when considering all these factors together, greed, opportunity, need, and exposure collectively have a significant impact on students' academic cheating behavior (p = 0.000).

Cooperation and cheating orchestrate Vibrio assemblages and polymicrobial synergy in oysters infected with OsHV-1 virus.

Polymicrobial infections threaten the health of humans and animals but remain understudied in natural systems. We recently described the Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS), a polymicrobial disease affecting oyster production worldwide. In the French Atlantic coast, the disease involves coinfection with ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) and virulent Vibrio. However, it is unknown whether consistent Vibrio populations are associated with POMS in different regions, how Vibrio contribute to POMS, and how they interact with OsHV-1 during pathogenesis. By connecting field-based approaches in a Mediterranean ecosystem, laboratory infection assays and functional genomics, we uncovered a web of interdependencies that shape the structure and function of the POMS pathobiota. We show that Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio rotiferianus are predominant in OsHV-1-diseased oysters and that OsHV-1 drives the partition of the Vibrio community observed in the field. However only V. harveyi synergizes with OsHV-1 by promoting mutual growth and accelerating oyster death. V. harveyi shows high-virulence potential and dampens oyster cellular defenses through a type 3 secretion system, making oysters a more favorable niche for microbe colonization. In addition, V. harveyi produces a key siderophore called vibrioferrin. This important resource promotes the growth of V. rotiferianus, which cooccurs with V. harveyi in diseased oysters, and behaves as a cheater by benefiting from V. harveyi metabolite sharing. Our data show that cooperative behaviors contribute to synergy between bacterial and viral coinfecting partners. Additional cheating behaviors further shape the polymicrobial consortium. Controlling cooperative behaviors or countering their effects opens avenues for mitigating polymicrobial diseases.

Pengaruh Teknik Kontrak Perilaku terhadap Perilaku Menyontek Siswa di SMP Negeri 1 Luhak Nan Duo Kabupaten Pasaman Barat

Cheating behavior is any act or trick that is dishonest, dishonest behavior and cheating carried out by someone to achieve success. This research was motivated by the existence of several students who were indicated to have cheated during exams or learning evaluations. The aim of the research is to determine the effect of behavioral contracts in individual counseling to overcome students' cheating behavior at SMPN 1 Luhak Nan Duo, West Pasaman Regency. This research is classified as Pre-Experimental research using the One Group Pretest Posttest Design model. The population was 38 students in class VIII at SMPN 1 Luhak Nan Duo, West Pasaman Regency, while the research sample was students who were indicated to have cheated, taken based on purposive sampling techniques and pretest results, totaling 5 people. The data collection instrument is a Likert scale. Data analysis techniques for non-parametric statistical tests, the Wilcoxon signed rank test method, with the help of (SPSS) version 24.00. From the calculation of the scale score results, the results of students' cheating behavior before treatment (pretest) obtained a mean of 79.00, this is classified as medium criteria. Meanwhile, after treatment (posttest), the mean was 65.80, which is classified as low criteria. The calculation results show the difference between the pretest score and the posttest score. This statement is based on a Zcount value of 2.023, while a Ztable with a degree of freedom (df) of 4 is obtained at 1.96 at a significance level of 0.05. So it can be seen that the value of Zcount> Ztabel is 2.023 > 1.96, so there is a difference in the average test score between before treatment was given to students who committed acts of cheating and after treatment was given to students who committed acts of cheating so that Ho was rejected and H1 was accepted.

ChainKeeper: A cross‐chain scheme for governing the chain by chain

AbstractWith the rapid application of consortium chains, supervising these systems has become a challenge for governments. The centralized model fails to deliver supervision services that are both open and transparent. Given the benefits of decentralization, non‐tampering, and traceability offered by blockchains, researchers propose the concept of ‘governing the chain by chain’, which involves supervising multiple consortium chains by constructing a blockchain. Under this idea, the cross‐chain scheme becomes the key to achieving excellent supervision. Existing studies have shortcomings and cannot meet the requirements of universality, security, and efficiency in cross‐chain supervision scenarios. Aiming at the challenges, we propose ChainKeeper, a cross‐chain scheme for governing the chain by chain. The innovation of our work lies in three points. First, a modular node proxy program is designed to adapt to various implementations of consortium chains. Second, a verifiable node random selection method is put forward to improve the throughput of cross‐chain data transmission. Finally, a verifiable identity threshold signature method is proposed to prevent the cheating behavior of malicious nodes. To verify the universality of ChainKeeper, we built a prototype system on three types of consortium chains. The experimental results show that ChainKeeper can achieve high throughput, outperforming two state‐of‐the‐art cross‐chain schemes.

Hubungan Self Regulated Learning dengan Perilaku Menyontek Siswa pada Saat Ujian

Nowadays, cheating behavior occurs a lot among students, both from elementary to tertiary level. Cheating occurs because students tend to be lazy to think complexly and do not know how to use effective learning strategies including self regulated learning strategies. Self regulated learning is indicated by a person's ability to control and supervise himself, being able to make his own study schedule so that students have good learning management, where these things are expected to reduce students' desire to cheat. This study aims to describe the description of self-regulated learning and the description of students' cheating behavior during exams and to examine the relationship between students' self-regulated learning and students' cheating behavior during exams at SMP Negeri 36 Kerinci. This type of research is descriptive correlational. The population in this study were 106 students enrolled in the 2022/2023 academic year with a research sample of 84 students selected using the Stratified Random Sampling technique. Data collection uses a self-regulated learning questionnaire and a cheating behavior questionnaire with a Likert scale model. Data were processed using descriptive statistical analysis techniques and Pearson Product Moment correlational analysis techniques. The results of this study indicate that (1) the level of self-regulated learning of students at SMP Negeri 36 Kerinci is in the medium category, namely 72.6%, (2) the level of students' cheating behavior during exams at SMP Negeri 36 Kerinci is in the low category, namely 54.8% , (3) there is a negative and significant relationship between self-regulated learning and students' cheating behavior during exams at SMP Negeri 36 Kerinci with a correlation of -0.350 and a significance value of 0.001.

Performance pressure amplifies the effect of evening detachment on next-morning shame: Downstream consequences for workday cheating behavior.

Detaching from work is beneficial because it helps employees recover from work demands. However, we argue that detachment may be a trade-off for employees in organizations with higher (vs. lower) levels of performance pressure. Drawing on social self-preservation theory, we hypothesize that evening detachment leads employees working in higher (vs. lower) performance pressure work contexts to experience increased shame at work the next morning. In turn, we hypothesize that shame motivates employees to engage in cheating behaviors to covertly inflate their performance and reduce the possibility that others will form negative perceptions of them. In three studies-a 2-week experience sampling study and two experiments-we find that evening detachment leads to heightened next-morning shame in higher (vs. lower) performance pressure work contexts, increasing cheating behavior throughout the workday.

How Stressed are Students and What Can We Do About It? Findings from a Self-report Survey of Contract Cheating Behaviours and the Stressful Events College Students Experience

Empirical research on contract cheating in Canada has been limited (Eaton, 2022) and tends to focus on the university (Eaton, 2019; Stoesz & Los, 2019; Thacker, 2022) while there has been relatively little research on academic integrity and contract cheating in community colleges and other non-university higher education institutions (Bretag & Harper, 2020). To address this gap, in 2021, researchers collected data on student engagement in academic integrity violation behaviour and the stress they experienced as they were completing their programs at one Canadian community college. Using self-report survey methodology and utilizing students as partners in research, we found students engaged in a variety of contract cheating behaviours, and experienced a myriad of stressful events both in and outside the college context, including traumatic life events. In this presentation, we explore the link between stress and contract cheating behaviour and address how we can respond at all levels of our institutions to better support students and promote academic integrity.

Hubungan Self Control dengan Perilaku Academic Cheating dalam Sistem Pembelajaran Berbasis Digital pada Siswa

Students who have low self-control abilities in undergoing digital-based learning processes will make it easier for students to abuse opportunities and become one of the causes of academic cheating behavior.

The Impact of Customer Incivility on Employee Cheating Behavior: An Explanation of Conservation of Resources Theory

Previous studies have focused on the internal factors of employee cheating behavior, but neglected the external factors, such as customer attitudes and behavior. Based on the conservation of resources theory, this study explores how customer incivility affects employee cheating behavior through harmonious passion and discusses the moderating role of employee rumination in the relationship between customer incivility and harmonious passion. Data was collected from 298 supervisor-subordinate dyads of 4- and 5-star hotels in China. The results show that customer incivility indirectly affects employee cheating behavior, while harmonious passion intermediates the process. Rumination moderates the relationship between customer incivility and harmonious passion, as well as the intermediary role of harmonious passion in the relationship between customer incivility and employee cheating. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Does social perfectionism foster electronic cheating behavior among budding hospitality managers? A moderated mediation analysis

Technology has contributed to the contemporary educational system in many folds. However, the dark side of technology on behavior also needs to be addressed. This study aims to explore electronic cheating behaviors among budding hospitality managers. Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, the stress generation model of perfectionism, and the self-protection model of cheating behavior, two studies were conducted to examine our model. Study 1 was conducted among 664 hospitality and tourism students in three waves and Study 2 was conducted using the 239 student-teacher dyad samples to validate the results of Study 1. The findings supported the association between social perfectionism and e-cheating behavior mediated via mental stress. Family support and academic overload act as moderators. The study advances the theory and practice by highlighting the maladaptive side of social perfectionism and the ever-increasing pernicious epidemic of cheating among hospitality and tourism students.

Factors Affecting Cheating Behavior at Quetta- Pakistan

Cheating in examinations across the globe is an issue of growing concern. This study argues that the culture of cheating in exams in Balochistan has reduced the efficiency of human resource and has resulted in producing students with high qualifications but less potential in the province. Therefore, it is very importantto explore the factors contributing to cheating in exams and to suggest a course of action to mitigate the menace it poses. A quantitative research method was employed for this study. Similarly, statistical techniques such as correlation and logistic regression were conducted for statistical analysis and explanation of thestudy using SPSS. Theoretically, the study is inspired by rational choice theory. The findings of the study show a significant relationship between personal, institutional, and situational factors. Personal factors that contribute to cheating were found to be students’ desire to excel, low GPA, and slow learning. Institutional factors include the weak administrative role of institutions, poor academic policies, overload on students, and weak performance of the teachers. Situational factors such as the poor management strategy of the examiner, time pressure, and technological tools were found to be instigating students towards cheating. The study suggests that an appropriate exam hall setting, effective monitoring, concept-oriented exams, and a strong honor code can decrease cheating.

Efektivitas Plickers Sebagai Media Evaluasi PPKn Untuk Mengurangi Perilaku Menyontek Siswa SMK Negeri 2 Salatiga

Education is a very important and absolute thing for the improvement of human dignity. In education, learning events occur, which whether or not the learning objectives are achieved can be seen through the evaluation process. But in reality, evaluation results sometimes do not match the real abilities of students, because they are obtained through cheating. Therefore, a media innovation such as plickers is needed. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using plickers as an evaluation media in Civics subjects to reduce cheating behavior of class XI students of SMKN 2 Salatiga. This type of research is descriptive research with data collection techniques using observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques used qualitative descriptive techniques. The research subjects were XI DPIB B class with 36 students and XI TAV B class with 35 students. The data sources from each class were two respondents who cheated, and two people who did not cheat. The results showed that there was a reduction in student cheating behavior, from 41.67% to 27.78% in XI DPIB B, and XI TAV B from 55.56% to 28.57%. The effectiveness can be proven through four forms, namely the success of a program, the intended goals / objectives are obtained as a whole, satisfaction with the program, and increased output. The average percentage of these four things is 76.137%, which can be concluded that plickers are effectively used as a Civics evaluation media to reduce cheating behavior of students in class XI SMKN 2 Salatiga.

Contract Cheating and Student Stress: Insights from a Canadian Community College.

This article presents results from a self-report survey of misconduct behaviours and the stress students (n = 916) experienced at one Canadian community college. Results showed that students engaged in a variety of contract cheating behaviours, and experienced a myriad of stressors both in and outside the college context, including traumatic life events. Those who engaged in commercial contract cheating and inappropriate sharing behaviours experienced significantly higher levels of stress. This result differed by type of stress suggesting that not all stress may lead to violation behaviour. Results also suggest that some students are exposed to more stress than others, which could put them at higher risk for engaging in contract cheating. Understanding contract cheating using the stress process framework draws our attention to how a student's location in the social institutions of work, family, and school, how their positions of advantage or disadvantage, and their involvement in social relationships may produce stress which we have found to be associated with contract cheating. Seeing stress in this way allows post-secondary institutions to address the structural conditions which lead to stress through the development of policy, procedure, and supports for students as they navigate academic integrity throughout their programs.

Intelligent invigilator system based on target detection.

Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the final examinations at many universities and the recruitment interviews of enterprises were forced to be transferred to online remote video invigilation, which undoubtedly improves the space and possibility of cheating. To solve these problems, this paper proposes an intelligent invigilation system based on the EfficientDet target detection network model combined with a centroid tracking algorithm. Experiments show that cheating behavior detection model proposed in this paper has good detection, tracking and recognition effects in remote testing scenarios. Taking the EfficientDet network as the detection target, the average detection accuracy of the network is 81%. Experiments with real online test videos show that the cheating behavior detection accuracy can reach 83.1%. In addition, to compensate for the shortage of image detection, we also design an audio detection module to carry out auxiliary detection and forensics. The audio detection module is used to continuously detect the environmental sound of the examination room, save suspicious sounds and provide evidence for judging cheating behavior.

Impact of academic cheating and perceived online learning effectiveness on academic performance during the COVID-19 pandemic among Pakistani students.

The study was conducted to examine academic cheating behaviors and perceived online effectiveness on academic performance during the period of COVID-19 among schools, colleges, and university students in Pakistan. A cross-sectional research design was used in the current study. Convenience sampling was used to collect the data. The study included a total sample of N = 8,590 students, with males (n = 3,270, 38%) and females (n = 5,320, 61%) participating. The data was divided into three categories: high schools (n = 1,098, 12.7%), colleges (n = 4,742, 55.2%), and universities (n = 2,570, 32.1%). School students had an average age of (M = 15, SD = 4.65), college students had an average age of (M = 20, SD = 5.64), and university students had an average age of (M = 24, SD = 5.01). The results indicated that 60% of students admitted to cheating during online exams most of the time; 30% of students admitted to cheating at least once during an online exam. The study found that students (from high school, college, and university) obtained higher grades in online exams as compared to physical exams. Furthermore, significant gender differences were found on the scales of online learning effectiveness in school, college, and university students (t = 2.3*, p = 0.05 vs. t = 4.32**, p = 0.000 vs. t = -3.3*, p = 0.04). Similarly, on the scale of academic performance, students have significant gender differences. Multivariate regression analysis confirms that students' 26% academic performance was increased due to cheating (F (2, 8,588) = 16.24, p = 0.000). Students believe online learning is effective because academic grades are easily obtained. Cheating is more common and easier in online courses, according to more than half of respondents, and they take advantage of this. Academicians are heavily encouraged to develop morality and ethics in their students so that their institutions can produce ethical professionals for the educational community.

Work-related use of information and communication technologies after-hours (W_ICTs) and workplace cheating behavior: A chained mediation model

Based on the conservation of resources theory, this paper explores the impact and mechanism of work-related use of information and communication technologies after hours (W_ICTs) on workplace cheating behavior. A total of 400 valid questionnaires were collected in this study. The results show that W_ICTs can have a positive effect on workplace cheating behavior. Meanwhile, W_ICTs can decrease the level of emotional exhaustion through enhancing perceived job control of employees, and increase the level of emotional exhaustion by enhancing workplace ostracism. Perceived job control, workplace ostracism and emotional exhaustion play a chain mediating role between W_ICTs and workplace cheating behavior. According to our research, leaders are suggested to select effective communication tools, establish complete rules and regulations, and pay attention to the supplement of employees' psychological resources, so as to reduce the impact of W_ICTs on workplace cheating behavior.
