Challenges And Opportunities In The Use Of E-Assessment In Physics As Perceived By Physics Teachers In Umuahia North Local Government Area Of Abia State :- Akanwa, U.N
ABSTRACT
The growth of technology in Nigeria's economy
has made Information and Communication Technologies a very important concept in
education. The impact ofICTin education can be seen in the improvement ofthe
learning process and environment. A descriptive survey design was employed to
assess the opportunities and challenges encountered in assessing Physics
students with E-assessment. The population of the study is 104 secondary school
Physics teachers in Umuahia North Local Government Area ofUmuahia Education
Zone ofAbia State. Out ofthis population, 50 (18 males, 32 females)formed the
sample ofthe study using purposive sampling technique to sample only teachers
that use E-assessment to assess their Physics students. The
researcher'developed questionnaire ofthe four-pointrating scale type was used
as the instrument for data collection to elicit information on the
opportunities and challenges ofusing E-assessment in assessing secondary school
Physics students. The study was guided by two research questions and two
hypotheses tested at 0.05 level ofsignificance The instrument was validated and
its reliability obtained as 0.89 and 0.83 using Test Retest and Cronbach Alpha
respectively. Mean was used to answer the research questions while t test
statistics was used to test the hypotheses. The study among others revealed
that provision offriendly learning environment, immediatefeedback, and students
'flexibility in learning are some ofthe opportunities of using E-assessment to
assess Physics students while poor technical infrastructure and unfamiliar
students with computer are some of the challenges. It was recommended that
Physics teachers be trained on how to use e-assessment to assess students to
enable them use them in the physics/science classrooms and thatstudentsshould
be trained to be conversant with the use ofe-assessment.
