Analysis of the Integrity of Prospective Teachers

Abstract

Integrity is an essential character requirement for becoming a civics teacher. One can be known through his work for finding reliable prospective teachers. Every prospective civics teacher in junior and senior high school must complete the final lecture while attending lectures. The final project must be the work of the future teacher who meets the plagiarism assessment with a certain percentage (maximum 30%). Through a qualitative study of 79 prospective civics teachers in junior and senior high schools in the Quantitative Research course, it aims to answer the problem of plagiarism assessment as an indicator of the integrity of the prospective teacher. Researchers used qualitative analysis to analyze all data acquisition. The results showed that 54 (68.4%) future teachers had more than 30% similar abilities, and 25 people (31.6%) had less than 25% similarity. All prospective teachers responded positively to using the plagiarism assessment as a medium for detecting integrity. Through such tests, they are motivated to study more carefully and earnestly to make themselves worthy of being prospective civics teachers who meet the integrity requirements.
