Abstract

One of the most important concerns regarding computerized testing is the possibility of test mode effects when administering test items on a computer. This study examined the equivalence of computer-based and paper-based reading tests. The subjects of 36 college students enrolled in a college English course at a university participated in the study, taking both modes of a reading test in a counterbalanced order. Data were collected from the scores of the two test modes and analyzed by employing repeated measures ANOVA. A posttest questionnaire was administered in order to see whether there is any relationship between the test scores and the subjects’ examinee characteristics such as attitude and ability, use of and experience with computers, and attitude toward computers. The statistical analysis shows that there is a significant test mode effect; the paper-based test scores are higher than the computer-based test scores. The findings from the questionnaire also support the test mode effect.
