PREPAREDNESS OF RURAL COMMUTERS (DUELERS) IN NIGERIA (SOUTH-SOUTH ZONE) TOWARDS ICT BASED EXAMINATIONS
Abstract
The adoption of ICT tools for examination is seen as the use of Computer
Based Testing (CBT) system, electronic examination platforms, biometric
verification or remote proctoring system for the purpose of examining
effectively and efficiently, aimed toward cubing examination malpractice and
enhancing data management. But in Nigeria, just like some other developing
countries, the adoption of new technologies comes with different challenges
despite its numerous proposed benefits. This research aims to look at the
absolute preparedness of the rural communities in the south-south south area
of Nigeria towards the adoption of this technology for examining student
living in those areas. Quantitative data analyses research methodology was
explored to analyze data gotten from questionnaire and interviews. And
visualization was done employing the very rich and vivid features of Microsoft
Power BI. The results show from the students perspective that 75% respondent
do not think they are ready for the process because 20% out of this group have
not seen while 51% have only seen these ICT tools from a distance but have
never touched or used them, 22% have seen and touched but not very
acquainted to be able to use it for theory examination and the remaining
percentage that prove to be familiar with it can only boast on their familiarity
based on the usage of android phones and not computers itself. From the staff
perspective, the facilities are available in schools but lack of power supply
and teachers to teach those subjects and do practical are scarcely available
therefore, the computers are kept without being used and over the time their
efficiency is reduced.
