Ethics and Anti-Corruption Education A Systematic Review of The Role of Education in Shaping the Integrity of the Young Generation

Abstract

Ethics education and anti-corruption training as transformative tools are important aspects in shaping a young generation with integrity and free from corruption. However, designing an effective and applicable curriculum to achieve this goal remains a major issue. This study aims to understand the effectiveness and best practices in anti-corruption education and provide strategic recommendations to strengthen future efforts. The method used was a systematic literature review using the PRISMA approach for article identification and selection, using database sources such as Scopus, Web of Science, Crossref, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The research sample consisted of relevant articles on ethics and anti-corruption education published between 2020-2024. Data were collected using bibliometric analysis techniques with the help of VOSviewer to map the main themes and relationships between studies. The results showed the importance of moral education, anti-corruption training, and integrity development, which are interrelated in the character-building of the younger generation. This research suggests the development of an educational curriculum that integrates ethical values more systematically.
