What is it about?

Attitude towards something may affect the results people get. In the same way attitude towards an exam type may influence exam results. We analysed relationship among attitude towards e-assessment, gender computer usage and level of education with 853 university students at different levels. the analysis found university students who used computers for a longer period of time had significantly higher scores on two e-assessment dimensions than those who used computers less. Males exhibited significantly more positive attitudes to e-assessment than females on test characteristics, individual characteristics and technical factors but not social and environmental factors. Level of education had no influence on attitude towards e-assessment.
