How Teachers Can Strengthen Academic Integrity Culture: Ukrainian Perspectives on Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a set of moral codes and rules that supports trust in education. Teaching using techniques and methods based on academic integrity creates a system of transparent rules and procedures that, if followed by students and peers, demonstrate a firm connection between academic integrity and quality. Based on the data from the research held by the American Councils Ukraine office with the Strengthening Academic Integrity in Ukraine Project – SAIUP (2016-2020) students who knew the basis of academic writing and had courses on professional orientation in schools, tend to be more motivated to follow academic integrity principles in the universities.
