Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.
Attitudes01:54

Attitudes

Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Computer-aided testing (CAT) is comparable to traditional written tests in student performance and perception. However, CAT systems should offer more control over question sequence and display time for optimal user experience.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Computer-aided learning (CAL) offers an alternative to traditional teaching.
  • Computer-aided testing (CAT) is a computer-based examination method.
  • Evaluating student attitudes towards CAT versus written tests is important.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare student attitudes towards computer-aided testing (CAT) versus traditional written multiple-choice tests.
  • To assess student performance in both CAT and written formats.

Main Methods:

  • Undergraduate dental students completed a mock exam with both written and CAT (MobiTed®) components.
  • Student attitudes were assessed using an eight-item Likert scale questionnaire.
  • Paired t-tests analyzed performance, and Pearson correlation coefficients examined test results against questionnaire data.

Main Results:

  • Student performance was comparable between written multiple-choice tests and the MobiTed® CAT system.
  • Students perceived MobiTed® as equivalent to written tests, reporting no setup difficulties.
  • A major disadvantage of CAT was the fixed question sequence and single display, with a need for adjustable display times.

Conclusions:

  • Computer-aided testing (CAT) is a viable alternative to written tests, matching student performance and perception.
  • CAT systems should incorporate user control over question sequencing and display duration.
  • Interactive multiple-choice tests can enhance the examination process with appropriate design considerations.
