ABSTRACT

When students are put through an examination process to determine the degree to which they have internalised the information presented in the course of instruction, both learning and teaching are able to function at a higher level of efficiency. This allows the instructor to evaluate his or her own performance based on how well students do in the course. Because of this, it is indisputable that testing and evaluation are essential components of education. If these components are compromised in any way, it will have a negative impact not only on the education system itself but also on the overall development of any nation. Hence, this work was carried out to seek students’ opinion and perception on the use of CCTV system in monitoring examination and its effect on examination malpractice in Edo state polytechnic. Questionnaire was administered online and the links sent to students departmental WhatsApp platforms. A total of 279 students responded by filling and submitting the form. The sex distribution percentage was roughly 50 – 50.85.7 percent of respondents are of the perception that examination malpractice is not a good practice
