Abstract
A survey was conducted during the period of online teaching (school year 2019. / 2020.) on a sample of 49 students of two first grade at the Ante Kuzmanic Medical School, in Zadar. The aim of the study was to explore computer-based exams as assessment method at assessment of learning, in the period of pandemic. Over the period of four weeks, students were taught online; asynchronously-through digital content in OneNote Class Notebook and synchronously using video calls. The efficiency of online teaching had been checked by three computer-based exams, in time limited conditions, using Moodle. Each exam had precisely determined ratio of questions with different cognitive levels. After the students had taken their first online exam - level medium, they had to choose one of two other exams: level - basic or level - advanced. The results indicate that despite carefully planned instructional procedures, online teaching had a poor impact on student’s learning outcomes, because students’ achievement in every exam was lower than 50%. Contrary to the hypothesis students are most successful in first online exam (level – medium) and number of hours of online teaching had no effect on a student’s achievement. Accordant to the hypothesis students are most successful in solving the questions of the first cognitive level. Nevertheless, considering these findings, by using the learning platform Moodle, the teacher can create a test bank what opens the possibility for differentiation of assessment process, accordant to different learning needs and interests of students.
