Students’ Perceptions on the Implementation and Challenges of Computer-Based Language Test for Diploma Course Assessment

Abstract

Online assessment has become prominent in the education system. However, the implementation of CBLT has posed different challenges faced by students in completing the assessment. Therefore, the present study aimed to find out students’ perceptions on the implementation of CBLT and its challenges, to determine the significant differences between the implementation of CBLT and faculty clusters. This study utilised a quantitative research approach. The questionnaire employed in this study was adopted and adapted from previous studies with 3159 students from a population of 4600 who enrolled for ELC121. The data was analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS v27) and were reported for mean, standard deviation, and ANOVA. The findings show that the students were positive towards the implementation of CBLT and there were significant differences of perception among faculty clusters. Thus, the future teaching and learning process should integrate the use of technology.
