Abstract

This study aims to investigate the utilization of the Kahoot application to minimize academic dishonesty during physics examinations. The research was a Quasi-Experimental approach, employing a one-shot case study design. The study’s sample involves 23 eleventh grade students from one senior high school, in Aceh, Indonesia, selected using a purposive non-probability sampling technique. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and interviews. The instruments in this study utilized indicators developed by Anderman and Murdock, comprising three categories: (1) Providing, utilizing, or receiving various information, (2) Using prohibited materials, and (3) Exploring someone’s weaknesses, procedures, or processes to gain an advantage. The data is examined using percentage analysis methods and is interpreted by cross-referencing with the interpretation table for utilization. The results of this study indicate that 94.15% of the students agree that the Kahoot application is beneficial in minimizing cheating during the examination process. The timer feature effectively prevents the use of prohibited materials, but it still allows for the exchange of answers within a brief time frame. Therefore, further research is essential to explore more effective solutions to minimize this cheating behavior.
