Abstract

How and through what factors do academic staff influence students' development and enhancement of critical literacy and academic integrity in 1st year undergraduate philology? Critical thinking is a system of judgements of a higher order that makes it possible to analyse information in such a way that rational decisions can be made on the basis of it. Under the conditions of the necessity of university education, academic integrity is one of the cases of the implementation of critical thinking. The authors of the article have used the following main methods: interviewing and testing at the initial and control stages of the level of knowledge, skills and abilities of students, scientific observation, interviewing academic staff. Lectures can have a significant influence on the level of students' awareness of their own need to comply with the ideals of academic integrity and on the further development of this culture in the future. This has a positive effect on the students' self-awareness as equal members of the educational process. It stimulates the development of a sense of responsibility and awareness of mastering the future profession. A working model for influencing the development and improvement of critical thinking skills and academic integrity among philology students has been developed.
