Examining the Opinions of Faculty Members on Online Exams with SWOT Analysis
International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, Paper presented at the International Conference on Research in Education and Science (ICRES) (Antalya, Turkey, Mar 24-27, 2022)
This research aims to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the online exams, as well as the aspects that can be evaluated as opportunities and threats, by making a SWOT analysis of the online exams that are frequently used in the distance education process. For this purpose, the study was designed with the case study technique, one of the qualitative research methods. The research data were collected from academics who teach at the university and work in different titles and units. The questions prepared by the researcher, considering the factors related to the SWOT analysis, were presented to the participants as a structured interview form via an online form. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. The collected data indicate that online exams are powerful in terms of low cost, easy assessment, fast, and practicality. On the other hand, online exams have some weaknesses, such as technical problems, internet connection interruptions, difficulty with the exam preparation process, and security issues. Easy access to students and flexibility stand out as opportunities offered by online exams, while cheating was the biggest threat that the participants frequently mentioned. In the context of the results obtained, some solutions and suggestions are presented in relation to the relevant literature. [For the full proceedings, see ED630893.]
