The instrument had two sections (A &B) to seek information on the demographic characteristics of the teachers and teachers' perception of the effects of TV viewing on academic attainment of their pupils, respectively. The instrument for data collection was a four-point Likert scale type questionnaire titled "Teachers' Perception of the Effects of TV-viewing on Academic Attainment of Lower Basic Pupils Questionnaire (TPETAALBPQ). Simple random sampling technique was employed to select 100 respondents from a population of 326 teachers. The survey research design was adopted for the study.

The hypothesis raised was tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data collected were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The reliability of the instruments using Cronbach Alpha method were 0.85 and 0.83 respectively. The items in the two instruments were weighted on a 4-point response scale. ![]() Two research instruments titled " Teaching Mentoring Questionnaire (MPQ) " and " Academic Staff Professional Competence Questionnaire (ASPCQ) " were developed and validated for data collection.

Key Words: Examination malpractice, cheating, academic integrity, qualitative research, governance, Nigeria. The research was conducted in agreement with Hendricks, Young-Jones and Foutch’s (2011) assertion: “If professors knew why students cheat and how to prevent the ‘need’ to be dishonest, students would benefit more from their classes….” Results do shed light on students’ perspectives, including their experience of high degrees of pressure. These themes aligned with the themes of focus group discussions and official reports of malpractice. The students’ writing was coded and analyzed for patterns and themes. Reports of malpractice on which the university has taken action during the past two years were examined. Focus group discussions were held among faculty concerning their knowledge of examination malpractice and their observations. Students were asked to answer anonymously, in writing, questions about their knowledge of and/or involvement in examination malpractice. This presentation will report results of a research project in the Faculty of Education, University of Calabar, Calabar, Nigeria. We need to assure that those who claim university degrees when they run for office or seek leadership positions have exercised integrity in pursuit of their degrees and that they have the knowledge base they claim to have. For good governance and democratic leadership in Nigeria, universities must address the issue of examination malpractice.
