1.1 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
That we live in a changing world is a popular statement that requires little explanation, especially when the knowledge of today can be the full knowledge of tomorrow or when a human being of today can oil to exist on the day that follows when such natural phenomena occur, one does not bother to ask why these happen out when they are accompanied by abnormal happenings on become concerned and asks why, which he rarely finds and such is examination malpractice.
Examination malpractices in our tertiary institutions have become a social calamity that has harmed the have and have nots, the hardworking, and society in general. These corrupt practices have succeeded in tarnishing the previous government and management of such institutions, who employed various methods. to improve our tertiary institution’s shameful situation, but all of their efforts were in vain or uncertain.
1.2 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Some of the examination rules that should not be broken are as follows.
(a) Avoiding conversation while the examination is taking place.
(b) Entering the hall with your identification card
(c) Submitting answer script after proper endured before exiting the hall
(d) Refrain from copying or writing for another’s obedience to the invigilator.
(e) Failure to appear in the hall with the expected response written on pieces of paper.
In terms of these rules, anyone who violates them is likely to face consequences from the committee. The severity of the punishment is determined by the gravity of the offense. Following an investigation by the committee, some offenders are asked to leave the institution or remain. These criminals would not be apprehended.
without the proper vigilance of an invigilator or supervisor. As a result of what I’ve seen so far, I can now say that malpractice is legal action taken by someone in a position of trust. This means that in an examination situation, any contrary action taken by someone against a specific examination regulation is considered examination malpractice.
Examination malpractice became very common in the early eighteens, according to statistics, and as a result, the instant had to set up a coming that will have to look into these malpractice cases. This committee, known as the “Examination Malpractice Committee,” was established in 1982/83.
This committee determines the appropriate punishment for any perpetrators involved.
According to the academe and examination regulations prepared by the institution (IMT) in June,
Some of the regulations that candidates must follow are from 1992.
i. All students must arrive thirty minutes before the scheduled time at the designated examination hall.
ii. No student shall enter the hall unless directed to do so by the co-ordinator.
iii. A student must enter the examination hall with current original school fees receipt, current identity card, pencil, and so on.
iv. Calculator, if needed, but not of the programmable variety
v. Ruler and any other material, table, etc. as permitted by the chief invigilator.
vi. If a candidate arrives at the examination without his/her I.D card, he/she should report to the chief – co-ordinators with a recent passport photograph endorsed by the it on the day of the examination.
Impersonation occurs when it is discovered that the person who wrote the examination is not the owner of the identity card.
vii. No candidate shall have any other material in his/her possession, including a private letter, while inside the examination hall.
viii. No caps, head ties, or sunglasses are permitted, and students working on the same paper are not permitted to sit together.
ix. No candidate is permitted to enter the examination hall sixty (960) minutes after the examination hall is closed.
x. Students are not permitted to tear any paper from the question paper or answer script for any reason, including rough work. All preliminary work must be completed at the back of his/her answer scripts, and then
be called off. No rough work on the question paper on his desk, palm, or anything other than the answer scrip is permitted.
xi. Any student who wishes to draw the attention of invigilators to a specific issue must do so only by raising his or her hand.
xii. No changes or cancellations to the registration number are permitted, and blank spaces must be ruled across by students.
xiii. All students in the examination hall who are eligible to sign the attendance must present their I.D cards to the invigilator, who will then sign your answer script to indicate your presence on the exam day.
xiv. Students must ensure that they enter the attempted question in the appropriate columns on the front cover of the script.
xv. The student is required to rule across all blank spaces of examination answer booklets used during the examination, i.e. by cheating, copying, using material other than that specified, etc.
1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The study’s goals and objectives are as follows:
1. Determine whether examination malpractice is affected by gender, school, or academic level.
2. Determine whether the examination malpractice committee has aided in the reduction of examination malpractice in IMT.
3. To understand the most common examination practice in IMT
4. To identify and explain the school/faculty that engages in the most examination malpractice at IMT.
5. To speculate on its impact on educational standards, such as IMT, and to propose ways to mitigate it.
6. Determine whether or not lecturers contributed to the examination.
1.4 STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESIS
1. Null Hypothesis: There is no statistically significant difference between exam misconduct and exam conduct.
H1: There’s a big difference between exam misconduct and exam conduct.
2. H0: There is no discernible difference between examination and malpractice.
H1: There is a significant relationship between examination and.
1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Nigeria has thirty-six (36) states, including the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja, but the study was limited to Enugu State. Enugu was the capital of the eastern region, and economic operations in other states of the federation are also carried out within the same socio-economic environment, so it was considered a fairly representative sample.
In other words, because of the topic it serves, I limited it to a specific school called IMT and to both female and male regular undergraduate students.
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Examination malpractice can be viewed as a shortcut to academic glory, as well as a benefit to those who participate in it.
1.7 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
If discussed alone, the subject of exam malpractice will be very broad in scope. This work is restricted to a statistical analysis of the causes and effects of exam malpractice in tertiary institutions.
