USE OF ONLINE TEST-MAKING TOOLS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION IN PRIMARY SCHOOL – CASE STUDY

Summary/Abstract: There are many online assessment tools available on the World Wide Web and it is necessary to test and evaluate them before their wider use is encouraged. Using such tools has many advantages and one of such is enabling students to learn how to navigate and use information using their computers. Computer literacy requires skills such as sifting through the available results, making critical judgments about the content, scrolling through pages, following external links, checking citations, and making active choices about the material. Acquisition of such skills is crucial for students in order for them to be able to become functional members of a digital society. When assessment is done properly, it also allows teachers to improve their teaching practices and helps students to learn more effectively. Therefore, it is very important to research into available options to improve our curriculum and assessment methods so that we can teach our students more effectively. This paper deals with the (dis)advantages and practical application of online tools for online and classroom assessment. The aim is to examine whether tests made with online test makers and delivered via the Internet yield better results than traditional paper-and-pencil tests made without the use of specialized test-making tools. The online test makers selected for this study are Easy Test Maker, Google Forms, Class Marker, ProProfs Quiz Maker, and Online Quiz Creator. They offer the widest array of options of all the test makers available and are most suitable for classroom assessment. The results obtained confirmed the hypothesis and justified the conducted research.
