A growing number of university students are cheating in exams with the help of modern technological devices such as mobile phones, smart watches and hidden earpieces. Inspection about such devices may violates privacy .
The treatment of the phenomenon of fraud is through the following:
The activation of the role of the educational and psychological counselor in helping students, the development of quality programs since the beginning of the school year on the instructions of cheating, enlightening the students of the damage caused by these misconducts,urge teachers to be flexible, avoid complex tests, develop an educational evaluation system, and adopt strict anti-fraud regulations.
Thanks for sharing the question. Apart from the insightful responses of the colleagues, a suitable device for the deactivation of mobile phones during the written examination is always useful.
The supervision must be strict and then apply the strict laws against students who prove their right to this fraud first and in my opinion is good education at home is a very important element to maintain the creation and integrity of the student during his career.
Educational institutions have laid down principles that must be adhered to. In Ghana, one is against the use of all forms of electronic devices during examinations. Electronic scanners are utilized during search conducted before being allowed to participate in the examination. This is no abuse of privacy laws because enough ethical permission has been granted students prior to the taking of any form of exams.
Another solution is to eradicate or reduce written examinations why increasing the other forms of assessing knowledge learnt by engaging in oral assessment procedures such as individual and group oral presentations.
The solution is to depend on more than one kind of tests, specifically those that need thinking and inferences, leaving the traditional types such as multiple choice items and yes/no questions.
Students will go to tremendous lengths to cheat in school like slipping a phone in their shoe. The possibilities for how to cheat are endlessly expanding, especially as students have more and more technology available to them. By taking steps to prevent cheating, you can better help your students grow into responsible and knowledgeable adults. With some forethought and effort, a teacher prevent cheating before it happens and can set up the classroom to help prevent students from being able to cheat.
