Virtual-assessment performance hampered by slow adaptation to tech environment

Pages 7140-7148 | Received 06 Jan 2022, Accepted 25 Mar 2022, Published online: 13 Apr 2022
 

ABSTRACT

The current investigation reflects on the insufficient performance of students in virtual exams in the era of transformation of the physical mode of education to digital one due to the passive adaptation to the technical drive of the virtual environment, the tenuous command of platform’s technical language, especially in mathematics and physics exams, and the anxiety of coping with superfluous difficulties of a non-traditional exam framework. R programming and data visualization approach have been employed to highlight the seriousness of these problems and their role in causing a plausible decline in students’ exam outcome. This study also features some crucial developments that could be undertaken to battle these issues and to enhance the virtual exam performance in the future.
