Abstract

It is imperative that educational institutions work towards a just and democratic society in which all citizens have equal opportunities for development, regardless of difficulties or diversity. This study analyses teachers‘ and students’ views on the good practice of academic integrity to prevent negative behaviours that affect the development of social justice. The data collection has been carried out on the one hand, through three focus groups, with students from the five branches of knowledge of the Galician university system, and, on the other hand, with teachers who have responded to the open question of the questionnaire " Academic Integrity Questionnaire” (CUGIA-P1). The results show how the understanding of academic integrity is forged on concepts such as; honesty, justice, responsibility, trust, respect and effort. It is concluded that the development of academic integrity is a promoter of fair actions, which will be reflected in the personal, academic, social and professional spheres. Therefore, Higher Education classrooms become an opportunity to develop the ethical bases for the development of citizenship.
