Introduction
way is to study hard and listen to the teachers discussion, yet some
discovered a risky way Cheating.
To find out the real cause of cheating, the researchers aim to answer
several questions;
1. What

the
reasons
why

copy
from
their
classmates?
2. What are the different ways of cheating done by the students?
3. How do the teachers and the administration react with this
action?
4. What are the ways that the teachers must do to avoid

of the student is at stake and can affect the mindset of the following
generation.
The thought of the student that cheating will be a way to aim
excellence may lead them in the wrong road. It may encourage their
fellow students to do the same. The researchers are concerned and
would like to know what the reasons behind their action are and how to
help them.

Planned Analysis
This chapter presents and analyzes data that answer the subsidiary
problems of the study. We surveyed 45 students with our questionnaire
(see page 12).
Table 1 showed that out of 45 students, only 4 of them do not practice
cheating. We have excluded them from the rest of the questions
because of their inability to cheat. 7 of them admitted that they cheat
on daily basis and 33 out of 45 students cheat when in dire need or
situation.

Table 2 reveals that students cheat to have better grades, and the
second reason is that most students didnt study leading them to
cheat. 27 out of 41 strongly agreed that they have cheated because
others were doing so. None of the students disagreed on these
statements. The students have different response on the third
statements. 28 students agreed that they have cheated because they
heard the answers, while 13 of the disagreed with this reason.
For the table 3, we have asked the students to check two boxes as to
what methods they use when they cheat. Number one of which is the
use of kodigo or little notes they hide. Second is passing of answers
to classmates. Third is using cellular phones to text their answers to
their fellow classmates, which is followed by opening of books and
notes during exams. The rarely used method is the use of secret codes.
