Data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling. The results of the study show that data literacy have a significant positive effect on students' academic integrity. In addition, lecture supervision also has a significant positive influence on student academic integrity. This research has important practical and theoretical implications. The practical implication of this research is that higher education institutions need to improve student data literacy and digital literacy as well as strengthen lecture supervision to improve student academic integrity. The theoretical implication is that this study broadens our understanding of the factors that influence student academic integrity, as well as highlights the role of lecturer supervision as an important mediating variable
