| dc.description.abstract | Information and communication technology has transformed assessment through objective, verifiable, replicable and more effective ways of testing students. Some Nigerian universities have adopted computer-based test (CBT) for their courses and examinations. The perceptions of lecturers’ on CBT in Nigerian universities have not really been established and very few studies determined the lecturers’ perceptions of CBT. Based on these limited studies, a study of this nature was conducted to investigate perceptions of lecturers on CBT. The objective of this study was to investigate: lecturers’ perceptions of the usefulness; ease of use and credibility of CBT in Nigerian universities. The study adopted survey method of descriptive research. Sample was drawn from lecturers from four Nigerian universities: Covenant University; Kogi State University; University of Ibadan; and University of Ilorin. A total of 850 lecturers represented the sample for the study. Data was analysed using percentage and mean to answer the research questions. The study revealed that lecturers had positive rating on perceived usefulness (65.1%), ease of use (65.2%), and credibility (70.2%) of CBT. The study concluded that lecturers perceived CBT as useful, easy to use and credible. The implication was that the perception of the usefulness, ease of use and credibility of CBT will lead to increase in use of CBT by lecturers in Nigerian universities. It was recommended among others that Nigerian universities should improve the efficiency of computer-based test to increase its credibility. Lecturers should be more encouraged to constantly use CBT while conducting their tests and examinations not minding the number of students | en_US |
