What is educational integrity?
The forum defines educational integrity as a commitment to the key values of honesty, trust, equity, respect and responsibility, and the translation of these values into action (adapted from the Center for Academic Integrity "The Fundamental Values of Academic Integrity" 1999).
About us
The Asia-Pacific Forum for Educational Integrity (APFEI) is an inter-organisational body whose mission is to collaborate towards the research and promotion of educational integrity. The Forum aims to provide a platform for educators across all sectors to investigate, collaborate and access resources in the field of educational integrity. In addition, APFEI also aims to provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners in the Asia-Pacific region to take a leadership role in the relatively new field of educational integrity.
APFEI was established as a result of consultations held during the inaugural Asia-Pacific Educational Integrity Conference, (University of South Australia, Adelaide, 21-22 November 2003). Practitioners and researchers from Australia and internationally agreed on the importance of having a central point of reference where issues of educational integrity could be discussed, researched, progressed and shared with the wider academic community.
One of the initial objectives of the APFEI is the production of an international refereed journal where research on educational integrity can be disseminated in an accessible and cost-effective format. The journal will challenge readers to consider the changing nature of education in a globalised environment, and the impact that conceptions of educational integrity have on issues of pedagogy, academic standards, intercultural understanding and equity.
Another responsibility of APFEI is to oversee the ongoing, biennial conference on educational integrity. The third conference was held at the University of South Australia from 6-7 December 2007.
