Perspectives on academic integrity in the ASEAN region
Other Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a political and economic organization comprising ten member states: Cambodia, Brunei, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Since its inception, ASEAN has sought to deepen political, economic, and sociocultural cooperation, and education has played a major role in achieving these goals. ASEAN’s efforts to harmonize and integrate differing educational systems have included adopting coherent and standardized frameworks and regional quality standards, encouraging mobility programs, and creating opportunities for collaboration between governments, industry, and academia. ASEAN has acknowledged the importance of the development of higher education (HE) as a key element in achieving regional peace and stability and maintaining a resilient and skilled workforce. Further to this, ASEAN has specified its aims of contributing to the academic community worldwide and to uphold quality in HE across all members of the union. This chapter seeks to outline and explain the role that academic integrity (AI) plays across HE in ASEAN member states, explaining the shared goals of the union, the current state of AI research, and the challenges related to AI that are currently being faced. The chapter summarizes AI research in ASEAN member states and identifies areas for further investigation to develop our understanding of AI in the region. Finally, we recommend that a future task for ASEAN is to consider adopting a shared AI framework, which targets the union’s sociocultural goals and promotes an ASEAN-focused and decolonized approach to quality assurance in HE.
