Abstract

Contract cheating in academic is transactions where students pay someone else to do their school or college assignments. It‘s currently had a rapid increased and occurred over the world including Indonesia. In Indonesia, contract cheating known as “joki tugas“. Society constructs that it violates educational ethics and categorized as an intellectual crime. Based on this situation, the researchers have tried to deconstruct by showing the other side of contract cheating with a literature review. This research used quality and relevant articles to examine the commercialization of education that have been published for several years. The findings of this research suggest that 1) students who were involved in contract cheating transactions were creative, 2) the internet plays a major role in facilitating contract cheating transactions, and cheating contract transactions present a portrait of the commercialization of education in Indonesia.
