SECTION 1
Description of academic integrity
Academic integrity is basically referred to as the code of conduct regarding the morale or
can also be stated as the ethical policies that are set in the academic institutions or the academia
(Bretag., 2016). Mainly, academic integrity refers to elimination or avoidance of the aspects of
cheating and plagiarism in particular within diverse behaviours or tactics of misconduct. Most of
the educational institutions practice this and this is usually expressed within the mission
statements, honour codes, procedures and also policies of these institutions. The major motive of
implementation of academic integrity within an educational institution is to develop and maintain
the levels of honesty and trust for students and also to provide appreciation and credits to the
ones who are actually practising this in particular (Morris., 2018). The concept of academic
integrity mainly is a commitment to the major and the fundamental values regarding the aspects
of respect, trust, fairness, courage as well as honesty in particular.
Through the use of academic integrity the educational institutes also gain discipline
which further implements this within all the stakeholders of the institution, such as the teachers,
students, parents, etc. Discipline is one major aspect that should be taken care of and learnt in
lifetime. And the major learnings are learnt from the educational institutions only. Through the
usage of this particular or specific concept the creation of a community that is inclined and is
dedicated towards the approach of exchanging ideas and also learning is developed and is also
sustained in particular.
