Re-Thinking Cheat-Proof and Supervision-Free Exams: A Perspective in View of COVID-19 Situation in Developing Economies
Singh, Sneha; Kumar, Amit; Arya, Aditya
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, v50 n2 p246-248 Mar-Apr 2022
The emergence of the global pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has posed several challenges to education across the globe and led to the emergence and progression of newer methods of teaching and assessment. While online teaching has been quickly adopted and implemented across the globe, exams and assessment remain poorly managed both at an elementary and higher level. The practice of promoting students without an equivalent assessment or poor methods of online examinations systems poses a future difficulty in employability assessment and academic equivalence. Here we propose some suggestive measures especially for developing economies with a lack of adequate technology and insufficiently sensitized trainers for online assessment to avert the difficulties due to faulty examination schemes in pandemic situations with prolonged lockdowns.
