Popis: | Effective assessment is an extremely important area of chemistry education. Typically tests measure students’ knowledge of critical thinking skills, chemistry vocabulary, and application of concepts from one chapter to another. While it is relatively straightforward to measure concepts such as chemical vocabulary and algorithmic problem solving during a regular session with paper-pencil based testing, an online test with no proctoring presents significant challenges to test administration. In the COVID-19 term, when instruction moved online, it was imperative that the authenticity of the tests administered to students was maintained, irrespective of an institution’s choice to allow students to select credit/noncredit or pass/fail options. This communication describes some of the challenges faced during online testing and some of the strategies implemented to successfully overcome them. |
