Professional Development in Academic Integrity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Natalia Mykolaivna Polishchuk, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Associate Professor, and Head of the Department of Physical Culture, Sports, and Teaching Methods, took part in the all-Ukrainian scientific and pedagogical professional development program “Academic Integrity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.”

Participation in this event became an important component of her professional growth and scientific-pedagogical advancement, as the professional development program was aimed at understanding current challenges related to adherence to the principles of academic integrity in the context of the rapid development of digital technologies and the active introduction of artificial intelligence tools into educational and research activities.

Within the framework of the professional development program, relevant issues of academic integrity, ethical principles of using artificial intelligence in the educational process, specific features of applying digital tools in scientific research, as well as the problems of ensuring independence, reliability, proper citation, and compliance with copyright requirements in the preparation of educational and scientific materials were considered.

As a result of participation in the all-Ukrainian scientific and pedagogical professional development program, materials devoted to the issue of academic integrity in the age of artificial intelligence were prepared. These materials emphasize the need for responsible, balanced, and ethically grounded use of modern technologies in scientific and pedagogical activities, as well as the importance of fostering a culture of integrity in the academic environment.

Participation in such scientific and pedagogical events contributes to the expansion of professional competencies, improvement of the quality of the educational process, intensification of scientific inquiry, and implementation of modern approaches to organizing educational activities in higher education institutions.
