FORMATION OF ADEMIC INTEGRITY IN THE UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The article raises the issue of the need to observe academic integrity and ethics in the university environment, as this affects the formation of a system of values in young people while studying at a university. It is emphasized that this problem is one of the most pressing in higher education institutions, in particular Universities, as it relates to the educational and research activities that prevail in them. The article focuses on the new opportunities for human interaction in various spheres of society (especially in the educational and scientific spheres) due to the growing access to information and the problem of its abuse at various academic levels. It is noted that the Laws of Ukraine "On Higher Education" and "On Education" explain the meaning of the concept of "academic integrity" and define the conditions for its observance by pedagogical, scientific and pedagogical, researchers and higher education students. The author points to a number of documents which emphasize the requirements for academic integrity of research and teaching staff, scientific and pedagogical workers and higher education students. The author considers the issues of analyzing the problem of academic integrity in the research and publications of scientists, which focus on the research career of young people, counteracting academic dishonesty, its principles, moral standards, etc. The basic principles of academic integrity and types of its violations are named. The names of the documents on which the system of academic integrity at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv is based are given as an example, and the levels of its provision in the HEI are indicated: the level of the educational program, the level of the department, the level of the faculty, institute, other educational or scientific unit, and the university-wide level. The requirements for academic integrity for students, research and teaching staff, researchers and teachers have been published. It is emphasized that the principles of academic integrity should become an everyday norm of corporate culture in the modern university environment. Attention is focused on the prospects for further research on the stated problem.
