Abstract |
|
|
| Justice and the feeling of being dealt with justly are not only an anxiety reliever but also a great motivator for all human beings. Students appear in exams to get assessed about their academic learnings and understanding of concepts. Traditionally, such assessments were made through hard paper – pen tests conducted under exam conditions. Carrying out such assessments electronically is a not very old trend and such tests are termed as e-assessment, electronic assessments and computer based tests/ exams etc. This paper studies impact of such tests on the academic learnings of middle school US students using scale used by (John Dermo, 2009). The main scale measured 6 dimensions using 30 indicators while this study is shrinked to only two dimensions of “Comfort in use” and “Learnings through e-tests” measured through 14 indicators. Results show a normal distribution of responses with little skewness both towards “Ease in usage” and “Learning”. No significance difference was found in the responses based on “Genders”Still the study suffers the limitation of sample size and sample frame. These must be increased and study conducted at different areas students to make it more generalizable. |
