THE EFFICIENCY OF THE USE OF COMPUTER-AIDED ASSESSMENT SYSTEM IN MATHEMATICS

Abstract

In the recent years there has been a great increase of using Computer-Aided Assessment systems in many areas of education. In the area of mathematics education platforms like Maple T. A. (Testing and Assessment), which are specialized for assessment in mathematics or natural sciences, were developed. The pedagogical experiment focused on the efficiency of the use of the Maple T. A. platform to students' performance in calculus classes was evaluated taking into consideration students' approaches to learning and studying. The paper presents results of this research conducted on the first and later second year undergraduate students of teaching mathematics.
