Item Open Access Configuring Pedagogy and Community Culture for Academic Integrity in Kazakhstani Universities [Abstract](M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University, Nazarbayev University, 2019-05-16) Soltys, Dennis; O'Donnell, Loretta; Gimranova, Dilbar; Priestley, Duncan; Qoraboyev, IkboljonTraditional compliance policing methods to ensure academic integrity tend relatively to ignore the developmental approach, and to ignore whether learning is actually occurring. Cheating and plagiarism indicate a breakdown in pedagogy, which is better addressed by student development than policing. Notwithstanding, the knowledge economy creates both a need for and opportunity to promote academic integrity within a developmental approach, which emphasizes analytical thought and rewards acquisition of soft skills. Quality assurance can be achieved by means followed in conventional institutional accreditations.Item Open Access Fictionalizing Cases versus Protecting the Identity of Participants in Academic Publishing [Abstract](M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University, Nazarbayev University, 2019-05-16) Kasa, Rita; Mhamed, Ali Ait Si; O'Donnell, Loretta; Priestley, Duncan; Gimranova, Dilbar; Qoraboyev, IkboljonIn higher education governance and policy, case studies of university as organizations are a conventional approach of doing research. When research is completed and articles and conference presentations are in the process of disseminating research findings, sometimes researchers choose to name the organizations that they studied. But often times, researchers choose not to disclose the actual names of the organizations they have researched. In the latter case, universities in research outputs are typically named by some labels or they are given fictional titles. In any case, whether the researchers disclose the name of the university or not, organizations need to be described since they each in a case study would constitute a case.Item Open Access Challenges and Prospects in Supporting Institutional Academic Integrity Through Library’s Services in Central Asia Region: Case Study from Kazakhstan [Abstract](M.

Narikbayev KAZGUU University, Nazarbayev University, 2019-05-16) Anderson, Rheanne; Molyneux, Elizabeth; O'Donnell, Loretta; Gimranova, Dilbar; Priestley, Duncan; Qoraboyev, IkboljonAppropriate incorporation of source material in academic writing can be challenging for university students, and those who struggle to demonstrate competency in this area can run into issues with plagiarism.

This presentation will describe an instructional tool used in an Academic Reading course on a pre-Masters program for students entering an EMI university in Kazakhstan.Item Open Access Academic Integrity Policy on the Example of USА Universities: Lessons for Kazakhstani Universities [Abstract](M.
