Computer-interactive tests may replace traditional exams, but language proficiency impacts non-native speakers' performance. Question length and test format should be considered for fair evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Assessment Methods

Background:

  • Computer-aided learning (CAL) offers alternatives to traditional teaching.
  • Computer-aided testing (CAT) is a computer-based examination method.
  • This study compares interactive and traditional multiple-choice tests.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Compare undergraduate student performance in computer-interactive vs. traditional multiple-choice tests.
  • Evaluate the impact of question length on test results.
  • Assess the influence of language skills on test outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Fifty-two native and five non-native German-speaking students participated.
  • Participants were randomly assigned to answer questions using the MobiTed system or traditional multiple-choice format.

  • Analysis of variance and t-tests were employed for score comparison.

    • Main Results:

    • Non-native speakers scored significantly lower on the interactive test compared to native speakers.
    • No significant performance differences were observed between native and non-native speakers on the traditional multiple-choice test.
    • For native speakers, neither test method nor question length affected overall performance.

    Conclusions:

    • Interactive multiple-choice tests can be a viable alternative to written tests, particularly regarding time efficiency.
    • Language proficiency and question length are crucial factors when determining examination time limits.
    • Consideration of these factors ensures equitable assessment in computer-based testing environments.
