Abstract

The study investigated influence of students’ personal factors and their involvement in examination misconduct in Nsit Atai Local Government Area. The study adopted ex-post-factor design. The population of the study consisted of all the JSS3 students in public secondary schools in Nsit Atai Local Government Area which number was 5,857.

A sample of 880 Junior Secondary three students was used for the study, in which 30% per school was selected from ten (10) schools. Three research questions and three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The researcher constructed an instrument called “personal factors and tendency towards involvement in examination misconduct”.

Questionnaire containing 50 items was used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and were tested at .05 alpha level of significance.

The three null hypotheses formulated were rejected. Findings revealed significant relationship between students’ studying habits, students’ self concepts, students’ poor academic performance and their tendency towards involvement in examination misconduct.

Based on these findings, it was recommended among others, that teachers and counselors should give serious attention to educational counselling services whereby students are counseled on effective study techniques.

Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Education serves as a prime instrument in the development of Nigeria but the issue of examination misconduct has led to the problem of this system.

The main purpose of examination is for certification achievement, selection for educational and employment opportunities, quality control of the curriculum and its delivery, monitoring of educational standards and the assessment of school effectiveness.

However, examination still remain the best tool for an objective assessment and evaluation of what learners have achieved after a period of studying. According to Fayombo, (2004), any action that undermines examination posses a great threat to the validity and reliability of examination results and certification.

The first publicity reported case of examination misconduct in Nigeria occurred in 1914 when there was leakage of question papers in senior Cambridge local examination. Since then there has been several cases reported but within the recent times occurred in 2009.

If we consider also the cases of examination misconduct which occurred over the years within our school system as well as examinations conducted by bodies such as JAMB, NABTEB, NAEC, WAEC, NECO, NTI, and other professional bodies, it could be concluded that examination misconduct is a common daily experience.
