Abstract:
The work aimed at investigating the influence of students' attitudinal behaviours towards Examination Misconduct on their academic performance in Secondary Schools in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State. The design used for the study was the ex post facto survey design. This design was adopted in view of the fact that the research was intended to examine the already seemingly existing influence of physics student attitudinal behaviour towards Examination Misconduct on their academic performance-a phenomenon over which the researchers had no control. random sampling technique was used to select a total sample of 100 physics students for the study out of a population of 452 teachers. More so, three hypotheses were postulated and tested. The questionnaire was used to collect necessary data and the data generated was analyzed, the research questions were investigated and three hypothesis were duly tested using the Chi-square. The results of this study amongst others showed that majority of the students believe that Examination Misconduct is a common feature in the Nigerian school system. It can be concluded that the majority of the students believe that Examination Misconduct is a common feature in the Nigerian school system. And their indulgence in it has the support of some parents, teachers and school principals. Recommendations were given for the effective implementations of policies in order to curb the menace.
