Measuring Test Anxiety of Two Computerized Exam Approaches

Computerized exams have benefits for large enrollment courses and computer science classes, specifically. In this research paper, we compare student self-reported test anxiety between two modes of administering computerized exams: a computer-based testing facility (CBTF) and a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) setup. We conducted crossover design experiments in two computer science courses, measuring trait anxiety, as well as students' test anxiety and their test performance after each exam.

Abstract

Computerized exams have benefits for large enrollment courses and computer science classes, specifically. In this research paper, we compare student self-reported test anxiety between two modes of administering computerized exams: a computer-based testing facility (CBTF) and a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) setup. We conducted crossover design experiments in two computer science courses, measuring trait anxiety, as well as students' test anxiety and their test performance after each exam.
