Non-Proctored Testing

Technology is a gateway for students to further their understanding of literally any subject he or she may desire, and it allows students to connect better with their professors to also gain a better understanding of the subject he or she may be learning. Although bullying and harassment are indeed two darker sides to technology, they are two problems that are easily corrected, provided the correct steps are taken to do so. Technology is a fantastic way for students to connect to their schools from anywhere and at any

Within the realms of a psychological statistics class, blended course-delivery format results in higher grade point averages than face-to-face and online delivery formats.

The purpose of the study is to determine if using the same method of note-taking and assessment has an impact on the performance of higher education students. This article is peer-reviewed and was published on January 2014 in the 7th Volume of the International Journal of Instruction. The researchers Matthew E. Barrett, Alexander B. Swan, Ani Mamikonian, Inna Ghajoyan, Olga Kramarova, and Dr. Robert J. Youmans were drawn to this idea due to the rising influence and use of technology in higher education. There sample of the study was seventy-nine ethnically diverse upper division psychology students in Los Angeles. These students were chosen based on their enrollment in a cognitive psychology or a statistical methods class.

Education has traditionally been very slow to react and adjust to changing times. Teaching to the test has become the standard in many classrooms in the USA and Canada due to the ongoing push for government accountability and standardization. Students are much more in tune with technologies than most of their teachers. The teacher’s role is changing in scope the shift is more to the teacher as a facilitator of learning. Educators can fill this role by teaching the skills student need to become master user of technology and the internet. The educational system has to adapt to our clients.

Our students are uniquely equipped to continue their pattern of online study through the CBT, which then becomes an extension of their pattern for learning. CBT meets the needs of 21st century learners and improves test delivery, test integrity, scoring validity, and provides an improved turn-around time on testing results. VAL students are also trained to achieve on Paper-based testing (PBT) through the interface with on-site Educational Consultants and paraprofessionals. The pupil-teacher ratio at VAL is approximately (5 to 1). Many education policy advocates, including the Center for Public Education, overwhelmingly indicate that a low student-to-teacher ratio can increase student achievement, enhance a child's test scores, and provide lasting academic

Proctoring means when you take an exam a proctor oversees your work. It is possible to oversee your work offline or online. The proctor main tasks that checks the identity of the examinee and ensures the integrity of the exam. (UCD, 2016)

In the last month, my field class took their first ACT Aspire standardized test, which was completely new to all of them. My teacher received the scores and is able to view each question and the percentage of students who got it correct. She pulled this information up on the SMART Board to discuss with students today. She explained to them what the percentages meant and why she felt the need to go over some of them. She displayed the list of question percentages then let them pick out the lowest ones to review over and discuss. Students seemed engaged in this activity and engaged in discussing these questions. Most of them were able to see where they went wrong or why it was difficult.

Proctoring is taking an exam and having someone who is a non family member, and with no monetary interest to

To start off with,I think that school boards are giving to much standarized testing to some schools that dont even learn all the stuff that be on all of the standarized test. And a 10% chance i think schools should still give testing but like at a medium size of tests because i think the state should see what each child learn. In all of the classes and see if that child is getting the stuff that child needs to move on in life and have a whole new begining of adult hood.So when i begin this essay i hope that you understand that the school board 90% chance is giving alot of standarized testing.And a 10% chance the school should give medium amount of test to see what the school teaches and what the students learn.

“Standardized testing is one of the most passionately debated education topics in America” (Baxter, pg. 1). They became much more prevalent after the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act mandated annual testing across the United States. Standardized tests are used to assess students and teachers, however some people object the idea that the performance on a single test is a valid measure of what a student has learned, or what their teacher has taught them. In this paper I will argue that relying solely on standardized testing for student placement damages education.

Proctoring, according to Google's dictionary is "a person who monitors students during an examination". The proctor is someone responsible for the legitimacy of the exam submission by students during the examinations. This person should have no biases in favor of the student. This guarantees that all work submitted during the examination is that of the student.

Technology is rapidly evolving and changing, and as a result of the increasing availability and propagation of several forms of technology, academic dishonesty cases in every college and university have greatly multiplied and become a global issue. The issue on cheating behaviors in students is so pervasive and uncontrollable that it is almost considered as commonplace (Arhin & Jones, 2009). One of the hardest challenges for educators is knowing how and when to discipline their students. In the given scenario, there are several issues to take into account; the first and foremost being the issue of academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty is defined by the Webster dictionary as the intentional participation in deceptive practices regarding one’s academic work or the work of another (Faucher & Caves, 2009). Jones (2011) states that many institutions of higher education have adopted academic dishonesty policies, instituted academic integrity tutorial completion prerequisites for next term registration, and acquired plagiarism software detection tools. They go on to say that within the past few years, high-tech cheating is gradually replacing the simple cut-and-paste cheating, and educators must be proactive and develop instructional strategies that integrate all facets of appropriate digital citizenship, that is, digital ethics. By implementing these academic dishonesty and integrity policies and making them attainable to

Online college courses are almost becoming traditional for students. Some may perceive that a student does not receive an equal education when taking an online class. People tend to think that if a teacher is not directly giving the information about the subject, the course learning experience is different or unjust. This assumption is wrong according to the perception of many online course takers. Online college courses offer students the advantage to learn on their own time. The skills that a student learns in self-discipline, scheduling to complete graded assignments, and advantages learned with technology gives online classes equal education experience compared to classes on campus.

Student Perceptions of Cheating in Online CoursesYour Name:Class Name:University Name:Instructor Name:Student Perceptions of Cheating in Online CoursesAcademic integrity has long been a core concern of faculty as well as administrators operating in campuses. Recent statistics done on the extent of cheating that occurs in college campuses shows that the large majority of students have engaged in this vice to some extent. The core difference in today’s environment is the wide proliferation of technological devices that are used for both delivering as well as accessing information on university courses. Educators are fast becoming concerned on the impact that technology has on the numerous forms of academic dishonesty. Indeed a number of sources have argued that the internet is fast becoming a major culprit for the increasing instances of academic dishonesty. This paper therefore strives to examine what is the prevalence of cheating in online courses looking at it from the college student’s perspective.The number of students who a-re actively participating in college level online courses has far outpaced other forms of distance learning. Online courses are becoming a critical part of many campuses long term strategy as evidenced by the fact that colleges have seen a distinct increase in the levels of online enrolment. The growth in learning opportunities online has increased on the concerns concerning cheating in online courses (Cluskey et al, 2011). Numerous studies have

Technology has begun to replace skills, such as learning how to use a thesaurus, solving long division problems, or learning how to use critical thinking skills. Some students have failed to learn because of the abuse of technology that is occurring in the learning environment. The internet has brought more resources to schools around the world but some of the important skills in the learning process are being substitute for the mass of resources the internet has provided. The result of this abuse of technology is a student passing the curium without
