| contents | <p>Examination malpractice has become a global cankerworm that has eaten so deep into our <br>educational system and posing a serious threat to total development of students in our <br>educational system. In search of solution to this anti-educational behavior, experts have <br>attributed it to many factors including peer influence on the assumption that birds of a feather <br>flock together and on the axiom; ‘show me your friends and I will tell you who you are’. This <br>study therefore examined the peer group influence and gender as correlates of Library and <br>Information Science students’ attitude towards examination malpractice and it implication for all <br>round development of students. The study applied a correctional research design with a <br>population sample of 259 LIS randomly selected from seven public universities in Nigeria <br>offering degree programs in library and Information Science. The study was guided by three <br>research questions and hypotheses respectively while the principle instrument used to elicit <br>responses from the respondents was a structured question on peer group and library and <br>information science students’ attitude towards examination malpractice’ whereas, the data <br>obtained were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) (Pearson r) which <br>basically was used to establish the relationship between peer group influence and Library and <br>Information Science students attitude towards examination malpractice. The outcome of this <br>study revealed that library and information science students generally have negative attitude <br>towards examination malpractice and frown at it. The result also shows that both male and <br>female students’ attitude towards this canker-worm was same. In the end, it was recommended <br>among others that parents, university management and heads of library schools should regularly <br>organize school programs promoting healthy peer relationship and upholding students’ value of <br>negative attitude towards examination malpractice as discovered by this study for all round <br>development of students.</p> |
