The instrument used for this study was a researcher-designed questionnaire, face and content validated by social studies experts and the reliability was determined using Cronbach's Alpha which yielded a coefficient of 0.76. Data obtained were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that different forms of examination malpractices are still prevalent in the Nigerian basic schools and teachers' awareness level of values clarification strategy for curbing the menace is moderate among others. It was recommended that values clarification strategy should be emphasized as a method for curbing examination mal-practices in basic schools and school proprietors and social studies and civic education teachers should address the challenges facing the use of values clarification for tackling examination malpractices.
