IMPROVING INNOVATIVE PEDAGOGICAL MECHANISMS FOR DEVELOPING ANTI-CORRUPTION IMMUNITY AMONG HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS

This thesis systematically examines the theoretical-methodological, regulatory-legal, and innovative pedagogical mechanisms for developing strong personal and professional anti-corruption immunity among students of higher education institutions. The study scientifically substantiates the limitations of traditional declarative and purely punitive approaches and develops a system of interactive pedagogical technologies based on student-centered, activity-based, axiological, and compliance approaches. Three basic components of students' anti-corruption immunity—cognitive-informational, axiological-motivational, and praxeological (behavioral) criteria—are identified. The innovative mechanisms include situational case studies, moot court simulations, ethical dilemma analysis, the transparency capabilities of the HEMIS information system, anti-plagiarism tools, and student compliance initiatives. The results of pedagogical experimental work involving 240 students were confirmed through mathematical-statistical analysis (Student's t-test), demonstrating that the proposed innovative mechanisms increased the proportion of students with a high level of anti-corruption immunity from 19.2% to 54.2%.
