Students' Perception of Visual Testing

Abstract

To assess students' perceptions toward visual testing 152 university students were randomly assigned to one of seven treatment groups. Each student received a 50-item multiple-choice criterion measure and a Student Preference Questionnaire within a 5-wk. period. Students preferred to be evaluated via the conventional unpaced pencil-paper format. Regardless of their personal preference for the printed over the examiner-paced slide format, students achieved as well on the visual test as on the printed one.
