A pilot application of electronic examination applied to students of electronic engineering: Preliminary results.

Abstract:- A new perception in the field of students ’ evaluation is of great interest from both educational and pedagogical point of view. Electronic examination method has been applied and evaluated for one of the core modules of the Department of Electronics of the Technological Educational Institution (T.E.I.) of Athens. Fifty percent of the students, who participated in the module’s final test in June 2004, were examined via the electronic examination, whereas the other fifty percent were examined via the conventional method. The examined topics were of equivalent difficulty and the examinees were distributed in a way that the two groups had the same level of knowledge level. The results indicate that the performance of students who participated in the electronic examination (e-examination) was higher than the performance of students who participated in the conventional method of examination. Key-Words:- e-examination, electronics engineering education, methodologies in examinations.
