Abstract

This study investigates the pervasive issue of academic dishonesty and cheating behaviors during board examinations in Balochistan, highlighting diverse contributing factors and underscoring the pivotal role of exams in shaping academic paths. The study adopted a quantitative approach, 200 student responses collected through nonprobability random sampling. Using the rational choice theory, this study fills a research gap and advances understanding of academic dishonesty by offering insightful information. Empirical data analysis was utilized to conclude. The research reveals a high incidence of cheating from students with various causes, including the fear of failure, societal expectations, and peer pressure associated with examinations. Notably, stress and anxiety emerge as key predictors of academic dishonesty. Students, facing intense academic pressures, often turn to unethical practices as a coping mechanism. The study underscores the inadvertent encouragement of cheating within the education system, driven by an excessive focus on exam results as the primary measure of success. The findings contribute valuable insights to the academic integrity discourse, advocating for comprehensive strategies to foster a healthier educational system in Balochistan. Recommendations include addressing root causes, promoting a supportive learning environment, fostering open dialogue, and promoting a broader definition of success. formative assessments, post-exam feedback, parental collaboration, and workshops on academic integrity are proposed to create a more supportive and ethical learning environment, enforcing academic honor codes, strict exam monitoring, and efforts to mitigate cheating should extend beyond punitive measures and implement initiatives to reshape perceptions of success, ultimately cultivating a culture of honesty and integrity in education.

Abstract

The teaching skills of preschool teachers in Mogadishu require significant improvement, particularly in adapting to modern educational methodologies. Despite the growing importance of digital resources, many preschool teachers do not integrate or utilize technology during teaching practices. This preliminary study aims to conduct a needs analysis for developing an educational website focused enhancing the teaching skills of preschool teachers. Data collection was conducted through structured and unstructured interviews with 20 preschool teachers from four preschools in Mogadishu, Somalia. Participants were selected using a stratified purposeful sample and categorized by experience: 10 with < 3 years and 10 with > 3 years. This study used the ADDIE model, which includes Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. However, this study is limited to analyze stage to identify challenges in teaching materials, technology integration gaps, and the role of educational websites in addressing these needs. The study reveals that preschool teachers in Mogadishu predominantly rely on traditional teaching materials, facing significant gaps in resources, while the integration of educational technology remains limited due to insufficient training, digital skills, and technical support. Teachers expressed a strong need for accessible technology-integrated resources. More than 50% of the interviewed teachers preferred educational website for ready-made materials, though some favored offline e-books due to unreliable internet access. Thus, this study underscores the critical need to develop an educational website to enhance preschool teachers' skills in Mogadishu, addressing gaps in technology integration and access to modern teaching resources.
