PERCEPTION OF PRE-SERVICE UNDERGRADUATE TEACHERS ON COMPUTER-BASED EXAMINATION IN NIGER STATE, NIGERIA

Abstract:
Computer-based examinations have gained significant attention in educational institutions worldwide, including Nigeria, due to their potential to enhance assessment practices. This study aims to explore the perception of pre-service undergraduate teachers in Niger State, Nigeria, regarding computer-based examinations. The research investigates their attitudes, beliefs, and experiences towards computer-based examinations, as well as the challenges they encounter during the transition from traditional paper-based examinations to computer-based formats.

The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather data from a sample of pre-service undergraduate teachers in Niger State. The participants' perceptions will be assessed through Likert-scale questionnaires, which will measure their attitudes towards computer-based examinations, perceived benefits, and concerns. Additionally, semi-structured interviews will be conducted to obtain in-depth insights into their experiences, challenges, and suggestions for improvements.

The findings of this research will provide valuable information about the perception of pre-service undergraduate teachers in Niger State towards computer-based examinations. The study will shed light on their level of readiness, potential barriers, and areas of concern when it comes to adopting computer-based assessment methods. Moreover, it will explore the advantages they perceive in using computer-based examinations, such as increased efficiency, improved test security, and enhanced feedback mechanisms.

The research outcomes will contribute to the existing literature on computer-based examinations in the Nigerian context, specifically focusing on pre-service undergraduate teachers. The findings will inform educational policymakers and institutions about pre-service teachers' perspectives and help them develop appropriate strategies to address potential challenges during the implementation of computer-based assessments. Additionally, the study will provide recommendations for training programs, infrastructure development, and support mechanisms to ensure a smooth transition from traditional examination methods to computer-based formats.

Keywords: perception, pre-service teachers, undergraduate education, computer-based examination, Niger State, Nigeria.
