Abstract

The article aims to study the diachronicity of the development of academic integrity in Ukrainian higher education institutions from the origin of this phenomenon to its modern development. The scientific methods of descriptive analysis, content analysis, and a survey based on a pre-designed questionnaire were used. The results show that active discussion of academic integrity in the Ukrainian scientific and pedagogical environment began after the events of the Revolution in 2014. Under current conditions, postgraduate students in Ukraine are gaining a general understanding of academic integrity, which primarily involves avoiding plagiarism and reflecting truthful results in their research. However, a significant problem is that most postgraduate students have little or no access to specific academic integrity codes at their universities. The conclusions summarise that this trend indicates the importance of introducing academic standards and instructions on academic integrity into the educational process.
