Description¶

The article recommends embedding GenAI-focused reflection within self-assessment, stating this "reframes ethical inquiry as a pedagogical strategy". Rather than treating academic integrity as rule enforcement, educators position students as reflective practitioners who evaluate their own GenAI use for critical thinking, writing, and conceptual understanding. The approach is described as scalable and adaptable across disciplines and year levels.

Design Implications¶
