“…In particular, the students felt no sense of comfort and reassurance in all exams because they thought that they did not accurately measure their skills. The students also frequently used social media before exams in all three exam methods and thought that neither method accurately measured their proficiency, similar to past studies [54][55][56].…”

Students’ anxiety and behavioural changes while using different examination methods (paper, PC, and mobile exam platforms (MEPs)) were estimated. The influence of academic majors and gender was also determined by answering the following questions: How do anxiety and behavioural changes vary among students using different exam methods? How do students’ anxiety levels vary according to academic majors and gender while using different exam methods? A survey was conducted with 826 students enrolled in eight colleges at King Faisal University in Saudi Arabia. The results revealed less anxiety and fewer harmful behavioural changes among students using MEPs compared with other methods. Furthermore, less anxiety and fewer behavioural changes were observed among health and science majors than humanities and social science majors and among female students than male students while using MEPS. Therefore, MEPs should be gradually adopted by higher education institutions in Saudi Arabia, especially for humanities and social science majors and for male students. Furthermore, researchers and decision-makers should find unique solutions to reduce the positive correlation between anxiety and behavioural changes among health and science majors and female students toward MEPs. This can be achieved by identifying obstacles and introducing modern solutions, such as AI-generated exams, among others.

“…They also thought that MEPs accurately measured their cognitive achievements, skills and competencies and reported that using MEPs increased their motivation. They were also able to answer the online assessment questions quickly and focus on exams, similar to past studies [55,56,65,66].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically impacted language teaching and learning environments. The current study explored how language teachers have adapted to post-COVID-19 classrooms. It also examined the ways in which their experiences during the pandemic influenced their teaching. Drawing on an ecological perspective toward language teacher agency (LTA), this study interviewed 10 less commonly taught language (LCTL) teachers to explore their expectations, preparations, and teaching strategies for post-COVID-19 classrooms. In addition, it aimed to discern the challenges encountered by teachers, their approaches to overcoming them, and the consequential influence of these experiences on their overall perspective of language teaching. The findings revealed mixed feelings among the teachers regarding returning to in-person instruction, unexpected challenges, and adjustment techniques. With pedagogical uncertainties, language teachers exercised agency by integrating technology into teaching, employing new teaching strategies, extending their roles to caregivers and community builders, and reflecting on future teaching practices. The teachers viewed these experiences as learning opportunities that would ultimately help them to grow.

A COVID-19 világjárvány következtében bevezetett kényszertávoktatás egyik legfontosabb aspektusa a hallgatói munka életszerű és hiteles értékelése, a hagyományos értékelési formák hatékonyságának megkérdőjelezése. A tanulmány ismerteti annak a nemzetközi kvalitatív kutatásnak az eredményeit, amely európai szaknyelvoktatók körében készült. 10 európai ország, 12 különböző felsőoktatási intézmény szaknyelvoktatójával (N=12) készítettünk mélyinterjút azzal a céllal, hogy feltárjuk a szaknyelvoktatók kényszertávoktatás alatt szerzett különböző tapasztalatait, különös tekintettel a hallgatói munka értékelésével kapcsolatos kihívásokra, az intézményes vagy egyedi megoldásokra, az értékelési gyakorlatot érintő változtatásokra. A kutatás eredményei rávilágítanak az értékeléssel kapcsolatos kihívásokra (tisztességtelen vizsgázói magatartás, kötött intézményi szabályok, oktatók megnövekedett munkaterhelése), valamint az alkalmazott megoldásokra (formatív értékelés előtérbe helyezése, nyílt értékelési gyakorlat alkalmazása, személyre szabott értékelés). A tanulmány a kényszertávoktatásban rejlő lehetőségek kihasználása mellett érvel, és előrevetít egy módszertani és pedagógiai szemléletváltást a szaknyelvoktatás értékelési módszereiben.
