Abstract:
Over the past few years, there has been a considerable increase in the usage of computer-based exams (CBTs) in various sectors of the economy. Education sector was not left behind, some schools have introduced the use of CBT during examinations, but the chosen location have not. This project aims to close a researchable research gap. This study used a mixed-methods research design in which both qualitative and quantitative methods were applied. The intended audience consisted of Adeniran College of Education 300-level students. From the five schools of Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education in Lagos State, 300 level pre-service teachers made up the sample size. To elicit a response from the respondents, two tools were used. The preservice teachers' attitudes about CBT for assessment were elicited using an interview template that included seven open-ended questions. Also, a questionnaire titled "pre-service teachers' perception (PSTP) towards the use of CBT for assessment was administered. The two instruments were validated by experts in Education and reliably tested at 0.77 for the interview guide and 0.81 coefficient for the questionnaire. The data was examined using mean and percentage descriptive statistics from the survey, and a t-test with a significance level of 0.05 was utilized to assess the proposed hypothesis. According to the study's findings, preservice teachers have a favorable opinion of the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for assessment. However, how they feel about CBT depends on the difficulties they encountered while undergoing CBT; some preservice teachers found it difficult to express themselves using Cognitive behavioural therapy. It was based on the findings that the study recommends that, preservice teachers in Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education should be encouraged to learn how to operate and use CBT among others.
