Item Open Access Academic Integrity Policy on the Example of USА Universities: Lessons for Kazakhstani Universities [Paper](M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University, Nazarbayev University, 2019-05-16) Omarova, Raushan; O'Donnell, Loretta; Gimranova, Dilbar; Priestley, Duncan; Qoraboyev, IkboljonEvery day the processes of globalization are growing, the era of information captures all spheres of human life. Undoubtedly, this also affects the spheres of science and education. The Internet provides easy access to any source of information, which adversely affects the learning process. And one of the most important aspects of concern to the world community is the problem of academic integrity. It analyzes the experience of implementing and applying the policy of academic integrity in the United States of America. Some preventive measures taken by the administration of universities to prevent and eliminate the facts of violation of academic integrity are considered. Cases on violations of the “Code of Honor” and the possible consequences of such a violation are cited. In addition, work is being carried out to ensure academic integrity in some universities of Kazakhstan in order to further adopt some of the provisions that can be used by domestic universities in order to prevent academic irregularitiesItem Open Access Using a Reading Journal to Develop Source Use Competencies for Academic Writing [Paper](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. Pedagogic approaches to reducing plagiarism often take the complementary routes of explicit teaching on academic integrity combined with instruction on source use and referencing (Pecorari and Petric, 2014). 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. Students are required to keep a Reading Journal throughout the two semester course. This involves sustained practice in referencing and record-keeping, summarising, note-taking and responding to ideas in a text, all stages which are recognised as foundational before students are able to successfully incorporate source material into their written work while maintaining a clear distinction between the student’s thoughts and the author’s words and ideas (Cumming, Lai and Cho, 2016). In this session, the presenters will describe the pedagogic theory underpinning the Reading Journal design and implementation in their course, give some reflections on its use in practice, and invite audience members to consider applications in their own teaching and course design contexts.Item Open Access Common Errors Found in APA Citation: Basis to Improve the Information Literacy Program [Paper](M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University, Nazarbayev University, 2019-05-16) Yap, Joseph M.; O'Donnell, Loretta; Gimranova, Dilbar; Priestley, Duncan; Qoraboyev, IkboljonCitation and referencing should not be taken for granted. To be scholarly, one must follow a conventional citation and referencing format. The reference list must be accurate and free from mistakes. By doing so, the bibliographic information cited in the research becomes valid. This ongoing research used citation analysis to share the initial results found in tracking the common errors generated by graduate students in referencing. In particular, the research will focus on APA style as this is the citation guide prescribed by the school. Finally, the results of the study will be used to improve the Information Literacy Program in instilling academic integrity in their personal and professional life.Item Open Access Challenges and Prospects in Supporting Institutional Academic Integrity Through Library’s Services in Central Asia Region: Case Study from Kazakhstan [Paper](M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University, Nazarbayev University, 2019-05-16) Zvonareva, Darya; O'Donnell, Loretta; Gimranova, Dilbar; Priestley, Duncan; Qoraboyev, IkboljonLibraries become increasingly involved in raising students awareness about academic integrity through information literacy program. Commonly recognized as information hubs, the libraries are supposed to provide plagiarism education with access to information related technologies and services such as text- matching software. Supporting academic integrity by libraries in Kazakhstan is framed in the context of cultural, administrative and technological issues. The purpose of the study is to determine the challenges in implementing international policies and practices in preventing plagiarism and promoting academic ethics by libraries. It also intends to identify the prospects of library involvement with academic integrity in the institutional level, emerging on teaching and training practice, librarians-faculty collaboration and policy-making partnership.Item Open Access Configuring Pedagogy and Community Culture for Academic Integrity in Kazakhstani Universities [Paper](M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University, Nazarbayev University, 2019-05-16) Soltys, Dennis; O'Donnell, Loretta; Priestley, Duncan; Gimranova, Dilbar; 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 Презентация проектного офиса «Саналы Урпак»(KAZGUU University, Nazarbayev University, 2018-05-18) Токушев, КаиржанКазахстан в целом достиг высокого уровня развития образования.

A five school review of master’s theses reference list(KAZGUU University, Nazarbayev University, 2018-05-18) Groen, Carlene; Kamilova, Yelizaveta; Terzi, Paschalia; Yap, Joseph M.; Zvonareva, DaryaPurpose of the study A good citation and referencing practice starts when a student correctly cites and follows the specified format.

These instances of unethical research have led to the proposal of various codes of ethics, each aiming to protect human subjects from physical, emotional, and psychological harm. The Nuremberg Code of Ethics (1949), Helsinki Declaration (1964), and Belmont Report (1979) were introduced (Meltzoff, 2005) Today, at the institutional level, Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) or Institutional Research Ethics Committees (IREC) function to review research involving human subjects for maintenance of ethical considerations (McAreavey & Muir, 2011). These boards review research for ethics referring to the above-mentioned codes along with federal regulations and laws of the country.Item Open Access About the experience of the Kazakh university of economics, finance and international trade in the development of internationalization processes through Erasmus + projects(KAZGUU University, Nazarbayev University, 2018-05-18) Abdymanapov, Sarsengali; Toxanova, Aigul; Kapenova, AsemgulThe internationalization of higher education creates new opportunities, contributes to increasing the accessibility and quality of higher education and the introduction of innovative work processes in higher education systems.
