“…The results of a study that found Iranian students’ perception on using computers mostly disadvantageous [ 34 ] came in contrast with the present study which found an overall positive student attitude towards CBT. It can partly relate to the nature of the studies.…”

BackgroundBecause computers are used in many aspects of today’s life, it seems necessary to include them in teaching and assessment processes.MethodThe aims of this cross-sectional study were to construct a multidimensional valid scale, to identify the factors that influenced the nature of student motivation on Computer Based Testing (CBT), to recognize how students self-regulated their activities around CBT, and to describe the efficiency of autonomous versus controlled situations on motivation. The study was carried out among 246 Iranian Paramedical Students of Tabriz Medical Sciences University, Tabriz, Iran; 2013–2014.The researchers prepared a questionnaire, based on the Self-Determination Theory (SDT), containing 26 items with a five-point Likert scale. It was prepared according to a previous valid questionnaire and by sharing opinions with some students and five professors. The factor analysis was done to perform instructional and exploratory factor analysis.ResultsThe Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin(KMO) measure was performed and variables were correlated highly enough to provide a reasonable basis for factor analysis. The selected 4 factors determined a 60.28% of the variance; autonomy 26.37%, stimulation 14.11%, relatedness10.71%, and competency 9.10%.ConclusionA questionnaire was prepared and validated, based on SDT variables. The results indicated that autonomous extrinsic motivation correlated positively with intrinsic motivation and CBT. There was a general positive attitude towards computer-based testing among students. As students became intrinsically motivated through the promotion of autonomous regulation, CBT was recommended as a proper test mode.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12909-018-1249-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…For example, some students felt distracted by the noise of computer keyboards, as they had to switch between the two screens and the video, and this affected their concentration (Fluck et al., 2009). Besides that, students with poor typing ability saw the use of e-exams as a disadvantage (Noubandegani, 2012).…”

This study sought academic staff and students’ views of electronic exams (e-exams) system and the benefits and challenges of e-exams in general. The respondents provided useful feedback for future adoption of e-exams at an Australian university and elsewhere too. The key findings show that students and academic staff are optimistic about the future adoption of e-exams if the e-exams system is sufficiently improved. They are fully aware of the benefits the technology could offer in supporting learning and education in general and see e-exams as an innovation for learning and teaching in higher education.

In many countries, including Indonesia, TOEFL test is used as entry as well as exit requirement for university education. TOEFL is chosen because it is the most well-known criterion reference test for foreign language learners. This paper aims to find out university students' perception regarding the obligation to take TOEFL as the exit college requirement. To answer the research question, we conducted a survey towards our university graduates. The respondents were 90 graduates of English Department Bina Nusantara University, batch 2016 and 2017. The data were taken from the questioner results regarding their perception towards the TOEFL as exit test requirement. The data then were processed quantitatively using SPSS program. Results revealed that students believed that TOEFL is necessary for entering professional life but not for continuing the study. The results of this study implied a reconsideration of using TOEFL for exit college requirements.
