Preliminary Study on Learning Assessment by Using Problem Posing in an Online Course as an Alternative Method of a Conventional Examination

Abstract

In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, universities had to conduct online courses, and instructors were required to use assessment methods other than conventional examinations. This paper reports a preliminary study on learning assessment by using problem-posing in an online course. We investigated whether students who learned well from the course succeeded in solution-based problem-posing without specific training on the skill. The results revealed that students who did well on tests during the course achieved high scores, indicating the possibility that this assessment method can provide an alternative to conventional examinations.
