Promoting Academic Integrity

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to foster the development of a healthy academic environment, protected from academic dishonesty, and one that creates favorable conditions for professional development and positive educational outcomes. This chapter deals with the main challenges facing Ukrainian universities in the area of academic integrity (AI). The results of a survey of domestic students' opinions via qualitative narratives regarding AI are presented. Successful cases of the implementation of higher education (HE) systems for ensuring AI in Ukrainian universities are considered. A prototype of AI principles to better ensure honesty and integrity are shown. Mechanisms for working with students to incentivize the principles of AI and the factors that can enable fruitful and ‘honest' communication between teachers and students are also highlighted.
