Abstract

Abstract:
The research aimed to develop the trend towards electronic tests according to a proposed model for building a question bank and electronic tests for graduate students, by identifying the impact of the order of questions (graded / randomly) and their pattern (one question or the whole test, on the screen). The research sample consisted of (16) PhD students in the Department of Educational Technology in the second semester 1441/1442 AH at the College of Education at the Qaseem University, decision of applications of technological innovations in the educational environment, and students were distributed in four experimental groups. The research tools were: a personal interview for students, an achievement test that aims to measure the cognitive aspect of the targeted skills, an electronic skill performance note card to track student performance in the shadow of the Corona pandemic, and a trend scale to identify students ’attitudes toward electronic tests. The results showed that there is a statistically significant difference at the level (0.05) between the average levels of students ’grades in the two experimental groups with regard to the direction in favor of arranging the graded questions. It also revealed that there are statistically significant differences at the level (0.05) between the averages of the grade levels of the students of the experimental groups, in the direction towards the electronic tests; For the benefit of the groups in which questions arise gradually. With regard to skill performance, the researcher assured that the results of the educational content were fully achieved, as the results were all positive, and showed that there were no statistically significant differences at the level (0.05), which confirmed the integrity of the educational content provided to students. The researcher recommends gradually arranging the questions in the electronic tests, as well as on the topics of content. Show all questions on one page. Questions are arranged randomly when students are in the same testing room. Questions display each question on a separate page, when students are together in the same classroom. And the option to undo the answer to a question and change the answer.
