Abstract
This research aims to study the behavioral indicators for honesty of primary school students under autonomous universities and to study the methods of cultivating honesty in primary school students of schools affiliated with autonomous universities. Quantitative and qualitative methods were both used to collect data from 210 participants consisting of school administrators, grades 1-6 homeroom teachers, and grades 1-6 students. Research tools were a questionnaire, interviews, and group discussions. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used for data analysis.
The results showed that Grade 1-6 students had a point of view, attitude, and behavioral indication and the meaning of honesty in the same way. They differed in the behavior of expression, knowledge and experience gained in the field of cultivating and promoting honesty among students. The homeroom teacher has instilled and fostering honesty among students by teaching honesty through homeroom, honoring and admiring students, honest outsiders, being a role model for students, instilling honesty through teaching in responsible subjects, assigning students to practice honesty or use it in daily life, assigning students to brainstorm ideas on situations, issues, or news and having students act through simulated or fictional situations.
