Abstract

The present study firstly, aimed to investigate pre-service teachers’ perceptions of general self-efficacy (GSE hereafter) and academic integrity (AI hereafter). Secondly examined whether there was a relationship between general self-efficacy and academic integrity in the Turkish pre-service teacher education context through descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The study was conducted at an English Language Teaching (ELT) Department at a state university with the participation of 63 4th year students. The analysis of data revealed that the group of pre-service teachers have a moderate mean value related to GSE. As for AI the group scores revealed that mostly tendency to dishonesty in references took place. Positive low correlation was found between GSE and tendency to dishonesty in references. The study was carried out with a small number of participants. Further studies may be carried out with number of participants to make generalizations. Findings of the study reflect the case at a state university ELT department. The study may be repeated with qualitative study to enhance the findings of the quantitative data.
