    Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Academic Integrity in Higher Education, Sri Lanka
    (School of Education, Faculty of Humanities and Sciences, SLIIT, 2025-10-10) Wijayasiri, K. D.S.N
    The blistering pace of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in the college and university sector has, in effect, revolutionized the academic sector, offering high potential while simultaneously encompassing numerous obstacles regarding academic integrity. This study examines the various ways in which artificial intelligence has impacted academic integrity in higher education institutions in Sri Lanka. Investigating the ever-developing field of AI through the prism of professional literature, this research addresses the issue of how the use of AI tools, mainly large language models, such as ChatGPT, is reinventing the familiar pattern of assessments, establishing new patterns of academic dishonesty, and causing the emergence of new solutions to the problem of preservingacademic integrity. The results indicate that although current AI-based technologies provide significant value to personalized learning and educational improvement, they also present significant risks to academic integrity,which must be addressed promptly by educators, policymakers, and institutional officials. The following paper proposes an approach to addressing these issues by redesigning policies, course and examination evaluation, and incorporating ethical AI strategies tailored to the specific context of Sri Lankan higher education.

    The Effect of Emotional Well-being on Polite Behavior and Teaching Effectiveness of English Teachers in Government Schools of Badulla District in Sri Lanka
    (School of Education, Faculty of Humanities and Sciences, SLIIT, 2025-10-10) Gunawardana, K.P.; Priyanath, H.M.S.
    Many empirical studies agree that emotional well-being plays a critical role in influencing individual behavior, and the impact can directly affect work efficacy. However, the correlation between emotional well-being, behavior, and effectiveness has not been previously explored. Similarly, teachers’ emotional well-being can also influence their behavior, leading to varying levels of teaching effectiveness. This study attempted to examine empirically how emotional well-being affects polite behavior and teaching effectiveness among English teachers in government schools of the Badulla District in Sri Lanka. Primary data collection was conducted using a quantitative method, involving a structured questionnaire administered to 297 randomly selected government English teachers. The study used Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) to analyze data. The results revealed that emotional well-being has a significant effect on polite behavior, which in turn has a substantial influence onteaching effectiveness. Supported by empirical evidence, this study concluded that the emotional well-being of English teachers directly influences polite behavior and teaching effectiveness. Furthermore, polite behavior plays a partial mediating role, implying that emotional well-being improves teaching effectiveness by fostering polite behavior. The findings of this study provide important insights for policymakers to enhance teachers' emotional well-being to improve the teaching effectiveness of English teachers by focusing on their polite behavior.
