Academic Integrity, Learning Outcomes, University StudentsAbstract
This study aimed to investigate the correlation between academic integrity and university students' learning outcomes, a crucial concern for educational institutions globally, particularly in Pakistan. Employing a quantitative research design, 160 students from universities in Faisalabad participated through multistage sampling. Data collection utilized a structured questionnaire and was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics via SPSS. Results indicated a male majority (62.5%) aged 18-22 (50%) and predominantly enrolled in BS programs (78%). Notably, 40% reported daily completion of class tasks, correlating with a perceived university integration. Bivariate analysis showed that students frequently visiting the library and completing classwork regularly achieved higher grades. Recommendations include awareness campaigns, robust misconduct detection, ethical education programs, technological solutions for dishonesty, strengthened academic policies, a supportive environment, research promotion, and stakeholder collaboration for enhanced academic integrity. These measures are crucial for fostering excellence in learning and maintaining integrity in higher education institutions.
