Abstract
Electronic examination is of great interest from both the educational and pedagogical points of view. Different methods have been applied during three examination periods at the Technological Educational Institute (T.E.I) of Athens for “Electronic Physics”, which is one of the core modules of the Department of Electronics. For this purpose, an application named “e-examination” has been developed. The selection of the module was based on certain criteria concerning the applicability of the methods. Preliminary preparations have been made for the conversion of the available educational material into an appropriate form for the creation of question sets for the “e-examination”. To avoid bias and ensure objectivity of the methods and therefore the reliability of the results extra caution was taken. Thereafter, the results of the electronic and the conventional examinations were statistically processed and compared. The comparison indicated that the performance of students electronically examined was, in some of the cases, better than that of students who were examined conventionally. The percentage of knowledge assimilation and the efficiency of the teaching process were also investigated.
