Background of the Study
Academic integrity is a cornerstone of education, and exam cheating is a significant issue that undermines the quality of education. Traditional methods of detecting cheating, such as proctoring and manual invigilation, have limitations and may not always be effective in preventing dishonest behavior. AI-based automated exam cheating detection systems can analyze various factors, such as patterns in students’ answers, writing styles, and even behavioral cues, to detect potential cheating. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of AI-based systems in detecting cheating during exams at Zamfara State University, Talata Mafara.
Statement of the Problem
Examination cheating continues to be a prevalent issue in many academic institutions, and existing methods of detection often fail to identify all instances of cheating. AI-powered systems offer a more sophisticated and efficient solution by analyzing multiple aspects of student behavior during exams. However, the effectiveness and practicality of AI in preventing academic dishonesty at Zamfara State University has not been thoroughly researched.
Objectives of the Study
1. To design and implement an AI-based automated exam cheating detection system at Zamfara State University.
2. To evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of the AI system in detecting cheating behaviors.
3. To assess the impact of the AI system on reducing cheating during exams.
Research Questions
1. How accurate is the AI-based automated exam cheating detection system in identifying instances of cheating?
2. What behavioral patterns and indicators does the AI system use to detect cheating?
3. What is the impact of the AI-based detection system on academic integrity at Zamfara State University?
Research Hypotheses
1. The AI-based automated exam cheating detection system will be more accurate in detecting cheating compared to traditional methods.
2. The implementation of AI-based cheating detection will lead to a decrease in cheating incidents during exams.
3. The AI system will identify previously undetected cheating behaviors that traditional methods failed to recognize.
Significance of the Study
This study will help to evaluate the potential of AI in improving academic integrity by providing a more reliable and efficient way to detect cheating. The findings will contribute to the development of more robust examination protocols that can be implemented across other universities in Nigeria.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on the design and evaluation of the AI-based exam cheating detection system at Zamfara State University. Limitations include technical challenges related to implementing AI systems and potential resistance from students and staff in accepting AI-based monitoring.
