AXIOLOGICAL DIMENSION OF ACADEMIC CULTURE

Abstract

In the context of reforming a national education, the issue of developing an academic culture is becoming relevant. Such a culture shall reflect attitudes toward relationships, values, and behavioral patterns that are common to all educational space members. The system of academic values is formed in accordance with the basic values of a specific culture, which are characteristic of the academic community. The set values determine the behavior style, communication style, level of motivation, activity. The concept of academic culture is analyzed through the lens of an axiological approach, which allows us to trace and observe relationships in the academic environment at the micro, meso, and macro levels. The fundamental values of academic culture and academic integrity, on which the educational process should be based and implemented, were well considered. An indicator of the established academic integrity is the awareness and adherence to the values of honesty, trust, justice, respect, responsibility and courage. It was concluded that academic culture as a sociocultural phenomenon is based on the values of professionalism, social responsibility, self-expression and selfdevelopment. In view of this, a high level of academic culture, compliance with the principles of academic integrity become mandatory conditions for improving the education quality.
