Abstract :

 This study examined the academic integrity of the Senior High School Students at St. Paul University Surigao in the new normal. The main instruments used to solicit information were researcher-made questionnaires for the 26 Senior High School teachers and 413 students of St. Paul University Surigao during the school year 2020-2021. Simple random sampling was employed to determine the participants. Data gathered were analyzed using means, standard deviation, t-test, and ANoVa. The teachers perceived that the students under study have high level of academic integrity in the new normal. The students on the other hand perceived that they have very high level of integrity. It was then revealed that there’s a significant difference between the students and teachers’ perceptions on the students’ level of Academic Integrity except for trust behavior. Also, there is a significant degree of variance in the students’ perceptions of their demonstrated respect and responsibility behaviors when considering sex. Despite these differences, it was still concluded that the Senior High School students have demonstrated good academic practices and high level of integrity as they engaged in their flexible learning classes in the new normal. Also, the Paulinian Remote Flexible Learning Scheme of the University is effective in promoting core values in the new normal allowing the learners to still embody and demonstrate the six fundamental values of academic integrity. It is generally recommended that school administrators determine efficient measures to instill to both students and teachers how essential is academic integrity even challenged by the changing times.
