  • Open-book versus closed-book exams as a part of hybrid education in computer science and humanities in the post-COVID era

    Iceta 2023 21st Year of International Conference on Emerging Elearning Technologies and Applications Proceedings, 2023
    This paper delves into the longstanding debate surrounding the efficacy of open-book versus closed-book examinations in the context of higher education, with a specific focus on courses within the domains of Information Science and Humanities. The choice between these two examination formats has significant pedagogical implications, as it shapes the learning experience, assesses the depth of understanding, and influences student outcomes. To elucidate the advantages and drawbacks of each approach, this study employs a mixed-methods research design, incorporating quantitative data from student performance metrics and qualitative insights from surveys and interviews. The authors examine these two phenomena in a hybrid learning environment, which has proven to be a resulting effective tool for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. They explore how the cognitive demands and assessment criteria differ between these two modes of examination, considering the distinctive nature of disciplines within Information Science and Humanities. In Information Science, open-book exams are often regarded as aligned with real-world scenarios, reflecting the accessibility of information resources in professional contexts in the post-COVID era. In contrast, closed-book exams emphasize memory recall and analytical reasoning skills. We investigate whether these distinctions translate into varied learning outcomes, student satisfaction, and long-term knowledge retention. Within the Humanities subjects, where critical thinking, analysis, and interpretation are paramount, the debate between open-book and closed-book exams gains further complexity. We examine how each format influences the development of critical thinking skills, the ability to synthesize and apply knowledge, and the cultivation of a deep understanding of complex texts and concepts. Additionally, this paper explores the role of technology and digital resources in shaping the dynamics of open-book exams, and whether this evolution in the accessibility of information has altered the outcomes in Information Science courses compared to Humanities courses. The findings from this study provide valuable insights for educators, curriculum designers, and administrators in Information Science and Humanities programs, helping them make informed decisions about the most appropriate examination format for their courses. By considering the unique characteristics of these disciplines, the research contributes to the ongoing conversation surrounding assessment methods in higher education and offers a nuanced perspective on the open-book versus closed-book examination dilemma.
  • Development of a desktop application for a complex heterogeneous evaluation system
    Jurinova Jana, Juraj Mistina
    20th Anniversary of IEEE International Conference on Emerging Elearning Technologies and Applications Iceta 2022 Proceedings, 2022
    Like many others, our institution has had to adapt our traditional testing and assessment of students due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This article describes the process applied to the development of a desktop application for a complex heterogeneous evaluation system for students of applied informatics. Qualitative research, case study together with experiments, and action research made it possible to examine the monitored phenomena more deeply in interconnected contexts. Prospective case studies with multiple cases were used to investigate the issue. According to the function, they are pedagogical evaluation case studies. In addition to verifying the effectiveness of the introduced materials, forms of education, and the flipped classroom approach, the study also focused on examining the relationship between their work on assigned tasks and the given issue, while heterogeneity in the evaluation was a key element. The main goal was to verify the effectiveness of the created materials in the implementation of various forms of education using the flipped classroom approach. Also, the possibilities of achieving the set educational goals during online teaching using instructional videos or scripts using a flipped classroom approach compared to a hybrid form of education and assessment were investigated. The contribution of the work and recommendations for pedagogical theory and practice are published in the paper.
