Abstract

The lack of information regarding exercise program assessment tools during the COVID-19 pandemic was the main gap in this research. The purpose of this study was to investigate lecturers' perceptions of computer-based and paper pencil-based performance to assess sports training programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, a combination of quantitative and qualitative (mixed) is used as a method. Participants in this study were male and female lecturers from Jakarta State University (N=15) and Sriwijaya University (N=10). Quantitative instruments use questionnaires and qualitative instruments use in-depth interviews with participants. Quantitative data analysis use the IBM SPSS version 25.0 to find descriptive data, namely mean, standard deviation and percentage of responses from participation. Meanwhile, qualitative data analysis use qualitative thematic data. The results of the study based on quantitative data found that the majority of lecturers strongly agreed to use computer-based instead of paper pencil-based to assess sports training programs. Meanwhile, research results based on qualitative data show that most lecturers favour computer-based over paper pencil-based during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, computer-based has better performance and advantages than paper pencil-based when used in the pandemic era. This research provides benefits for the development of science assessment tools in the field of sports.

Highlights

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of technology in learning, training or sports activities is increasing rapidly [1]
The purpose of this study is to investigate lecturers' perceptions of computer-based and paper pencil-based performance to assess sport training programs during the COVID-19 pandemic
The results are not in line between this study and previous research due to several factors, namely the first is the very different conditions of computer-based and paper pencil-based implementation, where in the previous study a study was conducted on the performance of computer-based and paper pencil-based under normal conditions in Indonesia, absence of the COVID-19 pandemic [30], whereas this study examines computer-based and paper pencil-based in pandemic conditions, so this factor is the answer to why there is a difference in performance between computer-based and paper pencil-based

Summary

Introduction

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of technology in learning, training or sports activities is increasing rapidly [1]. The technology that is often used is a computer which one of its functions is to assess or evaluate products, applications or training programs created by students [4], [5]. The assessment and evaluation of exercise programs in the field of sports is still paper pencil-based and this assessment is claimed by several researchers to have significant effects and have a high level of accuracy for International Journal of Human Movement and Sports Sciences 9(5): 1004-1010, 2021 assessing a work [6]. In the COVID-19 era paper pencil-based is difficult to implement, because paper and pencil-based allow spreading of the virus among students and lecturers massive. One way to overcome this problem is by using a computer-based [7]
