TIME ANALYSIS AND CONSTRAINTS FOR ONLINE EXAMINATION:THE STUDY OF EFFECTIVE MEANS OF PREVENTING EXAMINATION MALPRATICE WITHOUT TEACHER’S SUPERVISION

Abstract

Scores authenticity in online examination is one among the struggles of teachers especially that not every software is capable to strictly hold the most accurate time independently. It indeed requires a scientific investigation in order to carry out during the implementation proper of examination.  Online examination became the issue of this time especially that physical appearance in school were prohibited.  However, studies on how items to be administered with proper timing in order to at least prohibit students from cheating are still limited.  In this case, we were motivated to do the experimentation in order to contribute a formulated body of knowledge to the faculties in order to lessen difficulties in the implementation of time for online examination.  The self-constructed test validated by the experts was experimented among the tertiary students of information technology department.  The trials were made into two modes, first is the 10 item trial and the second is the 60 item trial.  By getting the significant difference of the scores per type of test and by noting the students’ feedback became the foreground to implement the second trial.  As a result, the evaluation type of test was tested not significant based on the time given and thus, a little more time was added.  For future studies, this study recommends to construct another self-constructed test based on other programs aside from the department of information technology and determine if it still could be significant to the findings of the study.
