Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Examination can be seen as one of the techniques used in the measurement of learning outcomes at all levels of education in Nigeria and the world over. Examination may be administered orally, on paper, on computer or in a confined area that requires an examinee to physically perform a set of skills.

However, despite the importance of examination in teaching and learning situations, a number of factors affect the credibility of examination scores. One of such practices that may affect the reliability of examination scores is examination malpractice.

Examination malpractice is any illegal act committed by a student single handedly or in collaboration with others; like parents, teachers, invigilators, fellow students, printers and anybody or group of people before, during or after examination in order to observed undeserved marks or grades (Wilayat, 2009)

Some forms of examination malpractices are swapping of answer booklets, copying on sheet of papers; handkerchiefs; desk/chairs, bribing invigilators or supervisors so that they could turn a blind eye when malpractices are being perpetrated.

Electronic gadgets like calculators, organizers radio Walkman and mobile phones are also used to carryout examination malpractices.

Examination malpractices in Nigeria are successfully perpetrated with the active connivance students, parents, school authorities, government functionaries invigilators and sometime officials of such examination bodies as

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB); National Examination Council (NECO); National Teacher’s Institute (NTI) etc.

Consequently, examination malpractice is perpetrated for different reason and it affects the credibility of result in the sense that grades are assigned to candidates wrongly thereby misleading the teacher and other users of the school products in decision making.
