This document discusses cheating on exams from the perspective of multiple intelligences theory. A study found that the main reasons students cheat include exams focusing on memory over comprehension, academic overload, and lack of preparation. Most students surveyed had cheated before and said they would cheat if the teacher left during an exam. The document argues that traditional testing does not accommodate different learning styles and intelligence. It suggests assessing students in various ways using multiple intelligences to address the root causes of cheating.

9. Cheating on Exams: A Justifiable
Behaviour?
Study aims : to (a) obtain an estimate of the
extent of cheating on examinations from the
perspective of university students, (b) to find
out the ‘whys’ which push the students to resort
to cheating and c) to provide a remedial work
through Multiple Intelligences Theory.

10. Research Questions
What are the main motivations behind
cheating in class?
What are the factors that influence
dishonest academic behavior?
What, if anything, should be done to prevent
it?

11. The study was conducted by formulating a survey
consisting of twelve multiple choice items
pertaining to academic cheating . responses. The
survey was randomly distributed to second-year
students at Setif University.

12. Results
The factors which motivated students to cheat :
Motivating Factors Percentage
a. Low instructor vigilance 17 %
b. Exams focus on memeory rather
than comprehension
80 %
c. Academic overload 90 %
d. Narrowly spaced exam seating 14 %
e. Lack of self-confidence that they
can pass
46 %
f. Students are not prepared for the
examination.
64 %
g. Students like cheating. 28 %
h. Students believe everyone cheats 18 %

13. Attitudes towards Cheating on Exams
Attitudes towards Cheating on Exams Percentage
Have you ever cheated on exams?
If the teacher leaves the exam hall for one reason
or another, and you notice that students start
cheating, will you do the same?
Yes: 80 %
Yes: 96 %

14. The problem is not the student.
It is the teacher, the curriculum, and the
system

15. Remedy ?
 Multiple Intelligences-based assessment would solve the problem:
Traditional testing methods are inherently biased in
favor of students with strong linguistic and
mathematical skills.
Assessment should reflect the diversity of intelligences
and learning styles in your classroom. For example,
students who are good at spatial learning might not
display the full range of their knowledge on an essay test.

16. • Emphasize ongoing assessment and progress. Continue to ask
if and how students have improved their skills.
• Introduce assessment to your students as a regular part of
classroom life. Make assessment a part of the learning process,
not a stressful, intimidating "event."
Try to use instruments, tools, and procedures that embrace
some, if not all, of the multiple intelligences.
• Use a wide range of assessment tools to measure students'
skills and abilities.

20. Theory of multiple intelligences
Rather than seeing intelligence as
dominated by a single general ability,
Howard Gardner proposed in his 1983
book, Frames of Mind: The Theory of
Multiple Intelligences.

21. • According to Gardner there are 09 intelligences:

25. A letter from a student to the teacher
Dear teachtator,
Yes, I know you are bored to death by academic dishonesty. YOU are
complaining about my cheating on exams. YOU are working hard to
prevent me from cheating. YOU can’t do it, simply because YOU are
the source of cheating. Remember, Cheating is unstoppable. It ends
only when YOU end..... Check, ‘’Cheat and Teach’’ are one same
word. ,,, same letters.... and a same meaning……
Hammoudi Abdelhak 201425

26. YOUR examinations are boring and painful. They caused
my breakdowns...No one can help. Cheating is my saver,
my aspirin, the killer of the pain.
is myCheating
Hammoudi Abdelhak 201426

27. Teacher, YOU should remember that cheating is an art and
a skill. It is not an easy task. It is a war job. Students use it
as a response to a threat and they have the right to defend
themselves. And the threat is YOU. Remove this threat
and students will stop cheating. On exams
ON EXAMS

28. You covered my eyes with blinkers to keep me looking in the
direction YOU are dictating. Cheating rescued me. It taught
me how to roll my eyes here and there to see the answer
sheets of my schoolmates. My visual style has considerably
improved.
Hammoudi Abdelhak 201728

29. YOU trained me how to keep quiet and stick to my
seat like the statue of liberty. Cheating broke my
handcuffs and freed me. My hands moved
everywhere to gather answers. They copied the
answers smarter and faster than ever. They broke
the record. They are very useful now.
Hammoudi Abdelhak 201729

30. My feet engaged their brain and became
practical and helpful. They kicked the chairs,
the tables and the legs of my classmates to let
them know that I want to cheat and I got what
I wanted.

31. Hammoudi Abdelhak 201731
My poor neck who used to obey the position of my head ( I
would say YOUR head) won its liberty. Of course, thanks to
cheating, it could stretch either ways to search for answers.
It’s become a true gymnast. I can say that cheating has
improved my kinesthetic intelligence.

32. Hammoudi Abdelhak 201732
Teacher, my ears were allergic to knowledge. They
turned sick and deaf whenever they heard YOUR
voice. Cheating healed them. It gave them their true
role: they became sensitive to the softest whispers
and got what schoolmates said. Cheating has
developed my auditory learning style.
Cheating has given

33. Hammoudi Abdelhak 201733
Teacher, YOU wanted me to learn everything by heart, to store YOUR
huge futile stuff in my brain. YOU wanted me to become a parrot. But
cheating taught me that the best place to store information is the cell phone
and the MP3. I did it and these devices helped me to cheat on exams and
get high scores. Now, technology is my partner. I love it and can
manipulate it efficiently. Before, I was technology illiterate. I hated to use it.
Cheating was the cause, dear teachtator.

34. Hammoudi Abdelhak 201434
Cheating has turned me Healthy, Smart, and Successful. It
has solved my problems and has helped me develop my
multiple intelligences.
Sincerely yours,
Smart Cheater

35. Solution
The way students cheat is the way
they acquire knowledge; their
preferred channels of learning. We
must accommodate these channels if
we really want to achieve better
results!
