“Getting Ready for Change”
Stages of Concern
I have just noticed an odd thing. I just finished grading a set of EOC Reading practice tests. With the paper/pencil tests, I have a 95% pass rate (cut score is 56%). The same test, taken online, was only a 50% pass rate. The paper/pencil test was done earlier than the online test.
Tchr4vr:
Why do students do worse on the online version of a test? Plus, they had seen the test before, so it should have been a no brainer? This was actually totally done on accident--but it seems so odd to me. If my students were to take a paper/pencil test--our pass rates would be so much better. Why must all our tests be online? Is there anyway to change this? I'm sure I'm not the first to realize this.

Unconcerned 2ndTimeAround:
Better with paper/pencil. Some teachers that insist on going all computer, say it is because they are more familiar with paper and if we just spent several hours integrating the computer tests they'd do better. Not buying it. My students say they like the ease of flipping back and forth, actually writing on the exam, even the power they have as they use paper. Many students, my own children included, say that staring at the computer screen for a lengthy exam is exhausting and they finish weak because they just want to get it done.

Yes my students tend to do worse on a computer test also. But they need to learn it so I am continuing to do it. Computer skills are only going to be more needed as time goes on. Also... as a bonus. It grades the multiple choice for me

You can call it an excuse. I can call it reality. Without fail, I always have to adjust at least three student grades for every online test I give because they either missed the radio button and left a question blank or clicked the wrong answer/used the arrow buttons on the keyboard incorrectly which changed their answer (and then there was the nightmare where the system registered five different answers from those that I saw a student enter). I've learned to always have students write down their intended answers so that I can compare them to the system later. I will not be able to get a highly effective rating on my evaluation for this school year, because a student typed in 4 pounds 8 ounces when the system was only prepared to accept 4.5 pounds when the system was only anticipating 4.5, 4 1/2, 4.50, or 4 5/10 as potential answers. Don't try to tell me it's an excuse.
