Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
The study focused on evaluation of students? academic performance in JAMB chemistry test under the computer based testing and paper pencil media in Delta State University. Five research questions were raised and answered; five null hypotheses were formulated and tested to guide the study. Review of literature covers the conceptual framework, concept of computer based testing and paper pencil testing and empirical findings related to the study. Ex post facto methods were used, 10 % of the total populations were used which is 2098 students result scores for both years. The instrument used is chemistry JAMB raw scores for 2012 and 2015 result. Experts from JAMB and Department of Guidance and Counseling (measurement and Evaluation) in Delta State University validate the instruments. The reliability was done by JAMB experts with a reliability coefficient of 0.83 for paper pencil test and 0.87 for computer based testing. The analysis of data was carried out using the mean to calculate the research questions and Z-test statistic was used to calculate the hypothesis. The findings revealed that there was a significant difference between the students? academic performance in computer based test and paper pencil testing in JAMB chemistry for Delta State University. The results showed that students perform better with the use of computer based testing than the paper pencil media in Delta State University. From the findings, the study generally recommends the use of computer based testing since students performed better and 100 percent elimination of all form of examination malpractice.
