Background. In today's world, as a result of globalization changes, the creation of a single information continuum and
the erasure of personal boundaries against the background of mass culture and postmodernity, which is characterized by intertextuality and dialogicity, the question of authorship and honesty is one of the most urgent. Especially when it comes to aspects of
the honesty of military personnel, whose moral principles have always been high in society. Academic integrity is one of the highways of the code of morals (dominant worldviews) and activities (behavioral aspect) of professional military personnel, and at the
stage of training at the higher military educational institutions – future officers. The purpose of the current study is to outline the
theoretical and practical content of the concept of military integrity and to determine the basic principles of academic integrity
formation, as an important aspect of the complex concept of "military integrity", precisely by means of interactive technologies in
foreign language (English) classes during the performance of independent work tasks. The formation of academic integrity is a
long process.
Methods. A questionnaire was developed to assess the awareness of bachelor's and master's cadets at the Military Institute
of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Conducted via Google Forms, the survey included 85 cadets enrolled in the
"Foreign Language" course (general, military, and specialized) for non-language specialties during the second semester of the
2023–2024 academic year.
Results . The article highlights the challenges of the digital age that threaten academic integrity. Attention is also drawn to
why the issue of academic integrity is so fundamental for military personnel, as well as to the differences in the formation of
academic integrity among military and civilian education seekers. Basic and additional interactive technologies are systematized,
which can be used to ensure independent work on a foreign language of cadets of higher military educational institutions in an
academically honest environment.
Conclusions. A foreign language, a paradigm of studying another culture through the lens of language, is a suitable
ground for the systematic education of academic integrity among students of higher military educational institutions. All this given
the relatively higher achievements in the formation of academic integrity in Western education (at least at the level of forming ideas
about the culture of academic integrity, tracking manifestations of academic dishonesty with further consequences for education
seekers). Further research on the topic will concern a thorough representation of the research conducted using Google Forms.
The aim is assessing the general picture of academic integrity of students of higher military educational institutions and developing
an algorithm to prevent manifestations of academic dishonesty during the performance of all types of work on learning a foreign
language by cadets of higher military educational institutions.
