dc.description.abstractExaminations in Nigeria is gradually getting a new look due to the introduction of the Computer-Based Test (CBT) system. CBT system has been used by a number of Nigerian universities. CBT in the conduct of examination in Nigeria poses a lot of challenges. The acceptance of test administration through technology is as a result of the acceptance of that technology. This acceptance depend on perceptions of the users of the technology in terms of how useful the technology is, how easy is it to use and how reliable and credible it is in terms of using it to carry out a task such as test administration. In this study, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was introduced to determine the perception of lecturers on usefulness, ease of use and the credibility of CBT. The framework for this study draws on TAM for its basic model and modified TAM to better reflect the model for lecturers' perceptions of computer-based test in Nigerian Universities. The factors that can predict acceptance of CBT for examination in the Nigerian Universities was investigated in a survey study involving 850lecturers.The study recommended that lecturers' gender and area of specialization be considered in a use of CBT and a study of this nature.
