CAUSES AND
EFFECTS OF EXAMINATION MALPRACTICE AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
There are so
many indicators in the literature that examination is one of the most
controversial matters in our contemporary society.
Hence due to
its nature, it attracts very many critics this situation has given rise to
where a part of the critics believes that examination as the last resort.
Categorically,
examination is clearly knows to render very useful help in the field of
education meanwhile, Stephen (1969) views that there are numerous examples in
all countries of the world while are in reality and frequently in name, also,
competitions designed to eliminate the majority of candidates and allocate the
reminder to certain know vacancies for example the civil service in secondary
schools in colleges or universities. In the real fact examination is usually
employed to mark either pass or fail is constantly applied to a collection of
students. It collaborate the view of Stephen where he declares that history as
to back up the view setting children against one another in trials and competition
has always been a respectable means of inciting them to deal because
examination is used to measure the academic performance of every students. With
this mind, they have always strives to pass. In the same vein, it also
encourages a kind of competition within a collection of students who will aim
at the attainable highest mark in classes.
Apart from
the foregoing examination as still used for giving grades to the individual
students. By casting our minds into past, the West Africa councils issued
resulted on the basis of some grading where students were placed in
stratification one, two, three, respectively secondly the relevant practices of
the Nigeria teaching institute is that students are given certificates in the
ground of distinction, credit, and good classification and either of those
where marked through examinations
By the
standard of the National Certificate Education, students are by custom grouped
into first, second, further subdivided into upper and lower or third class
degree having successful undergone a rigorous set of examination.
Consequently,
all those situations have been put together to exert influence on the child’s
attitude which have always had a way of bringing about negative desire or
success in any given examination with or without adequate and necessary
preparations.
However, it
is good to note that examination goes beyond the four walls of the school
system. Hence, Nwama (1979) observed that “in business sector, the more
theoretical examinations one passes, the better the chances of advancement even
of productivity does not increase. According to him, this is the social and
even candidates operate.
Examination
still more, could be used as a medium for issuing licensed. A paragonised
paragon by the view of Stephen is driving test and here he declared “no one so
far wishes to put a limit to computing against each other in a series of
proficiency test designed to unlock out all but a small earlier determined
quantity of top grade performance. The authority has every desire to ensure
that those who handle cars are capable of doing so with at least a minimum of
efficiency. The essence of an examination before written before the issuance of
driving license is just to answer that life is made safer for the majority of
the populace using our highways.
Furthermore,
he believes that examination is a weapon normally used for social engineering
and he puts it thus, it is used in breathing through social class barriers and
quickening social mobility. Therefore, the imperative of examination because we
cannot cope one form of examination of the other, there is constantly emphasized
by people on the need to pass since it tells who should have a given job at the
expenses of on the spot mouth (oral) test. In whichever form an examination
takes, we must note that it is always competitive. Meanwhile, the outcome of
any given test is not governed by a complete standard of performance but by the
degree of excellence of the contestants. Also, in the civil service sectors,
results are guided by the number of vacancies to be occupied. It is worthwhile
to note that in the school system, every child has to write a series of tests
in the secondary school. There are in the form of class terminal and session
examination and to go long way to determine whether he will reach the final
year class. Therefore, the next examination to be taken will be either the
national examination, which is the final year class. These are respectively
organized by the NECO and WAEC.
It is
essential to place on record that success at either of this examination helps
to determine the success made in the six years spent in the secondary school.
So higher marks attained in any of them becomes one of the yardstick to
institutions of higher learning while having to write other sets of consecutive
competitive examination with the JAMB to mention but a few.
