Investigating University Teachers’ Attitudes Towards Using Online Exams As A Tool Of Assessment

Authors : Gheraibia Chaima .

Abstract

Abstract: The use of online exams has became a widespread form of assessment in education and higher educational institutions, in particular. Accordingly, this study is striving to shed light on this type of assessment. For this reason, the study further investigates university teachers’ attitudes towards the use of online exams as an assessment tool. In this respect, two hypotheses have been formulated; the first suggests that teachers encounter a variety of obstacles using online exams to assess students’ learning process, and the second proposes that despite the obstacles teachers would be more likely open to the use of online exams. Thus, a sample of 74 teachers responded to a five point rating scale questionnaire about the use of online exams as an assessment tool.
