ABSTRACT
Examination malpractice is a common form of deviant behavior among secondary school students. It is rated as one of the greatest problems that undermine the foundations of educational development in Nigeria. The prime objective of this paper therefore is to examine the relationship between secondary school students study habits and their attitudes toward examination malpractice. The study was conducted ex-post factor under a descriptive survey research design. Stratified random sampling technique was employed to select 300 students from secondary schools in the district II in Lagos State Nigeria. Collected data on students attitude toward examination malpractice and study habits were obtained using two research instruments designed by the researcher. The instruments are Students’ Study Habit Questionnaires (SSHQ) and Students’ Attitudes toward Examination Malpractices Questionnaires (SATEMQ). They have reliability coefficients of 0.68 and 72 respectively. The three hypothesis formulated for the study were tested using Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient and t-test statistics at .05 alpha level. Findings revealed that there was no significant relationship between students study habit and their attitudes towards examination malpractice. Male and Female students were significantly different in their attitude towards examination malpractice while the two groups were not significantly different in their habits. It was recommended that school counselors should utilize guidance services and counseling techniques in promoting effective study habits and in reducing cases of examination malpractices in secondary schools.
