Description

  Automated  Test  Generator  for  the  Faculty  of  the  University  of  Cebu,  Philippines     JONATHAN  OLORES  ETCUBAN   http://orcid.org/0000-­‐0001-­‐8930-­‐6476   DOI:  http://dx.doi.org/10.7718/iamure.ijmet.v6i1.567   [email protected]       University  of  Cebu   Cebu  City,  Philippines       ABSTRACT     Automated   test   generator   (ATG)   is   an   online   software   application   that   addresses   the   perennial   problems   in   test   making   that   most   teachers   encounter.   Test   construction   requires   sufficient   knowledge   and   skills   in   order   to   come   up   with   quality   test   before   it   will   be   administered   to   students.   Through   this   ATG   system,   the   faculty   members   can   generate   randomized  test  questions  from  the  test  database,  allow  students  to  take  their  examinations   online,   and   provide   test   results   to   faculty   and   students.   The   study   aimed   to   design   and   develop  an  ATG  for  the  faculty  of  the  University  of  Cebu  that  would  provide  solutions  to  the   problems   encountered   by   faculty   members   in   test   construction   and   administration.   The   descriptive  method  was  utilized,  and  four  sets  of  questionnaire  were  administered.  The  ATG   system  was  tested  by  the  IT  experts  from  the  academe  and  IT  industry  (systems  developer,   systems   analyst,   analyst   programmer,   Web   developer,   and   systems   testers)   based   on   the   following   criteria:   functionality,   performance,   robustness,   workmanship,   and   over-­‐all   impression   of   the   system.   The   faculty   members   also   evaluated   the   user-­‐friendliness,   system   security,   and   accessibility   of   the   ATG   system.   Respondents   agreed   (97.22%)   that   the   ATG   system  is  better  than  the  manual  procedures  in  constructing  test.  Thus,  this  ATG  system  is   highly  recommended  for  use.       Keywords
