Readiness Level Towards E-Assessment among Human Kinetics and Health Education Lecturers in Bayelsa State

Abstract

This study assessed readiness level towards e-assessment among human kinetics and health education lecturers in Bayelsa State. The study used a descriptive survey research approach. To direct the investigation, two research questions and associated hypotheses were posed. All lecturers in the human kinetics and health education units of the several tertiary institutions in Bayelsa State made up the study population. “The study employed a sample of 97 professors from the three (3) higher education institutions that house the department of human kinetics and health education.” The instrument for data collection was a Readiness to Adopt E-assessment Questionnaire (RAEQ), created by the researcher and approved by professionals. Using the Cronbach Alpha formula, “the reliability coefficient of the instrument was determined, and a value of 0.79 was achieved, which was deemed suitable for the study. Mean and standard deviation were used to respond to the research questions, and t-test statistics were used to evaluate the null hypotheses.” It was discovered that the lecturers were not very ready to implement e-assessment, and neither gender nor the kind of institution had a major impact. It was suggested that professors in human kinetics and health education be properly taught on how to use e-assessment technologies.
