    (Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences, 2014-10) Onabamiro, A. Adegbenga
    The study examined the secondary school students’ perception of the causes, forms and prevention of examination malpractice in Ogun State Nigeria. Two hundred students constituted the sample for the study. One instrument “Students Perception of Examination Malpractice Question (SPEMQ) was used to generate data for the study. Three Research questions were answered using simple percentage and t-test statistics to analyse the data. The result among others indicated that there is no significant difference in the perception of male and female students on causes, forms and prevention of examination malpractice, and no significant difference in students’ perception of examination malpractice based on age. Based on the findings, therefore, the paper recommended that adequate counseling should be given to all students, thorough screening be done before entering into the examination halls and there should be massive campaign against cheating in examination by all.
