| dc.description.abstract | Innovative research is an extension of quality education through academic integrity, and academic integrity is a product of societal value systems. In this study, academic integrity is examined, as it relates to global society. The value system of society is the key factor in building academic integrity, which will, in the long run, affect the quality of education for sustainable development. The question is, to what extent society affects academic integrity? This study applies the Virtue Theory of Ethics in a qualitative methodology of an evaluation research design, using a thematic analysis instrument to answer the question. In any society, certain things are compromised once the value system changes. To imbibe the culture of academic integrity, societal values must promote a system for such to thrive. If not, everyone wants things for the wrong reasons. This leads to a dearth of ability to perform, even innovative research. Then, all the values of academic integrity become scarce commodities, and it becomes difficult to cope with the required values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage whether as students, teachers, researchers, workers, or leaders; this affects the quality of education for innovative research and sustainable development. To imbibe the culture of academic integrity in everyone, societal values must change from just having a certificate to having the ability to perform duties innovatively as demanded by whatever the work requires | |
