Introduction
* Introduction Step
* What is more important in education, understanding a concept, or merely memorizing it?
* Memorizing or a concept might only require the learner to cram the definition of ideas or principles.
* However, if you want to understand a concept holistically in education, then you need to do a comprehensive reading.
* For those who have not tried the open-book test, you are encouraged to try it and experience the beauty it in learning.
* Open book tests have helped several people in getting a deeper understanding and an in-depth explanation of the concepts more than what the assessments primarily tested in them.
* Open book tests provide learners with ample space to read widely and get a holistic understanding of concepts. Instructors, on the other hand, are also challenged by the open book test model of assessment to give students application and challenging questions that encourage them to read widely and avoid cheating.
TransitionWith that said, why then do academicians need to embrace open book test mode of assessment?
Body
* The Need and Step
* The major challenge in education today as far as assessment is concerned is cheating.
* According to David and Jaffe (2019), 75 to 98 percent of college students cheated at least once in high school assessments.
* With the current technology where virtually information about everything can be easily obtained online, cheating has been made easy as learners can only copy-paste the answers to their text online.
* It is also standard practice for human beings, especially the digital generation of today, to prefer ready things, and the internet offers that.
* Assessment in education aims to measure the achievements of students in their related courses (Farrell and Maheu, 2019).
* People always forget to understand the aim of assessment and education in general, as most people study to pass exams rather than following the concepts.
* Most instructors focus on assessing learners’ memorization of ideas by setting direct questions instead of evaluating learners’ conversancy of concepts through the administration of application questions.
* Misconceptions about open-book tests discourage people from using the model of assessment.
* People commonly think that open-book tests are a breeze.
* This way, the individuals feel that using an open-book test discourages one from studying.
TransitionThe reality of the matter is that this is not the case with open-book exams, especially when instructors provide the learners with application questions instead of straightforward problems.
