Building Strong Foundations: Psychology Workshop on Academic Integrity

60 students participated in a hands-on psychology workshop facilitated by psychologist Enrique Espino, learning APA 7th edition format and academic integrity skills.

In June, 60 students participated in a hands-on psychology workshop facilitated by psychologist Enrique Espino. The program included participants from Prepanet, prospective Prepanet candidates, Campeones, and students from Telebachillerato Higuera Blanca.

The workshop concentrated on mastering "APA (American Psychological Association) 7th edition format," described as a globally recognized standard for academic writing. Students learned proper citation techniques and methods for avoiding plagiarism—skills the organization considers essential for establishing credibility and professionalism.

According to the article, PEACE Punta de Mita views this instruction as extending beyond immediate academic needs. The organization emphasizes that these competencies help young people "lay the groundwork to become ethical, effective collaborators in any future academic or professional setting."

The organization frames its educational mission around fostering "integrity, responsibility, and a commitment to honest work" that extends throughout participants' lives, connecting these values to its broader purpose of "creating opportunities through education."
