Abstract

This paper profiles the potential of developing and implementing Computer-Assisted Assessments (CAA) for helping lecturer in assessing students’ achievements on the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Approach. PBL Assessment is typically formative; it includes delivery of feedback to the student, with the aim of improving their skills. The use of CAA in PBL gives advantages for both of lecturer and students by providing them with detailed formative feedback on their learning achievements compare to conventional assessment. It also reduces lectures tedious load by automating parts of the task of marking students’ work.  The methodology applied to this research was literature review and investigation of practitioners’ perception about assessment in PBL. The literatures showed that there are methods of assessments that have been used successfully in PBL, but the research selected five methods as PBL assessment framework; there are “Peer-assessment, Self-assessment, Group presentation, Individual activities, and Group report assessment”. The framework applied into the tool that encompasses the use of computer (called with CAPBLAT) for helping lecturer in assessing students’ achievements. In addition, the CAPBLAT helps to store assessment material, deliver assessment, and do auto-rating of the assessment result. The evaluation results concerning technology acceptance demonstrated that incorporating CAPBLAT can get better technology acceptance.

Abstract

Problem-based Learning (PBL) is an instructional design method that is used by many lecturers to create more efficient and meaningful learning experiences. PBL emphasizes the lecturer in facilitating in collaborative learning. They conventionally play a little role in the formal assessment process. Peer-assessment and self-assessment are the most frequent methods of assessment employed by the lecturers in conducting PBL approach. This paper presents acceptance testing of a computer-based tool for peer-assessment and self-assessment in PBL approach, which called Computer-Assisted Problem-Based Learning Assessment Tool (CAPBLAT). The tool was designed to assist a lecturer in conducting PBL teaching method and assess students learning progress. Two PBL classes participated in the testing of the tool. During the study, questionnaires were administered to students. The results concerning the assessment tool acceptance demonstrate that using CAPBLAT in the PBL assessment process received better acceptance from both the students and lecturers.
