Abstract

Orientation of students' learning goals directs to the process and learning strategies that they use. The orientation of the goal of learning performance often makes students go for academic cheating to get high scores. This study aims to describe the attitudes of middle school students towards academic cheating and the orientation of their learning objectives in terms of their grade level status. The results showed that: (1) students generally had an attitude of justification for academic cheating; (2) students have mastery learning goal orientation; (3) there are significant differences in attitudes towards academic cheating both in terms of class level and parental demographic status; (4) there is a significant difference in attitudes toward academic cheating seen from the orientation of their learning goals, and (5) there is no significant difference in orientation towards learning objectives in terms of class level and parental demographic status; Based on the results of the study, counseling teachers are expected to be able to provide basic services to develop resistance to academic cheating; and responsive services to develop mastery learning goal orientation for students who have performance learning goal orientation.
