This study assessed the degree to which computer-based administration contributes to test performance differences among examinees. Inexperienced or anxious computer users answered computer-based reading and mathematics questions from a new teacher licensing test. They also answered paper-and-pencil analogues of these questions. While taking the computer-administered tests, half of the examinees had access to on-line familiarization materials only; the other half had additional help from a test supervisor. Results showed that (a) extra assistance from a test supervisor did not have a noticeable effect on test performance, (b) performance on test sections administered later during the session showed no evidence of improvement from practice on earlier sections, (c) most of the variation in performance on the computer-administered tests was explained by performance on the paper-and-pencil analogues rather than by attitudes toward computers or experience with them, and (d) examinees were more positive about the computer-based tests after testing than before. The conclusion was that on-line test familiarization proved adequate for the anxious/inexperienced computer users in the study and that computer-based test administration did not unduly affect examinee performance. The implications of the study are discussed with respect to evaluating new and emerging alternative modes of assessment. |
