“…ICT as an ordinary technology of today's world is positively accepted and adopted by young generations of people (e.g. in the educational process [33], [34]). However, it is necessary to be critical of role and (mis)use of ICT and to be aware of the negative consequences presented not only in this article.…”

This article attempts to explicate importance and value of knowledge in the context of informatization, while focusing on the problem of fragmentation of human knowledge in connection with the application of ICT in the process of education (or the process of learning). The illustrative research uses quantitative research method. A questionnaire survey was carried out on a sample of respondents (n=342) described in the paper. An interpretative critical analysis is based on existing sources as well as on data from our own investigation. Based on the analysis the authors present how informatization contributes to the fragmentation of individual knowledge. The article includes the model of importance of knowledge and a (general) theoretical concept that should enable a better understanding of the subject matter. A necessity therefore arises for an adequate reaction of the education system, as well as each individual, to the conditions changed by informatization. The authors present their main recommendations on how to react to the changed conditions at the area of education.

“…The relatively lower quality work tended to be improved more than somewhat higher quality work. Canz, Hoffmann & Kania (2020) explored the effects of rating media on scoring by mediating various factors, text quality, legibility, orthographic, grammatical punctuation erroneousness, and text genres. Raters were asked to rate two versions (originally handwritten and computer-typed transcripts) of 430 essays in German.…”

“…The effect would be moderated by text quality, grammatical erroneousness, and genre. Canz et al (2020) claimed contextualization could help explain why raters awarded lower scores in the paper-based mode. They contended that raters showed a deficit orientation for essays written by students under PBM as it was a high-stake test.…”

Technology development has led to computerization of language assessment. Many studies have centered on the comparability of test takers’ cognitive processes and performance across the computer-based mode and the paper-based mode as well as the equivalence of raters’ rating under the relevant modes. The effect of different modes on test-taking and essay-marking process and performance have been researched for decades. This paper critically reviews the effect of different modes on test takers’ performance and raters’ rating on the English writing part. The review indicates that there is no consensus on scores test takers receive under the two modes, or on the cognitive processes they experience. The computer familiarity contributes to their process and performance. On raters’ rating, research has not reached a consensus either. The paper ends with discussing some issues worth consideration in future research of computerization in language test.
