Abstract
This study was a survey of the attitudes of undergraduates towards computerbased
tests
in
Ekiti
State,
Nigeria.
The
study
adopted
a
survey
design.
The
study
targeted all universities in Ekiti State based on accessibility and
convenience, and 261undergraduates were sampled using Research Advisors
(2006) model. A researcher-designed questionnaire was used for data
collection and the instrument was validated by the researchers. Mean was
used to answer the research question, while independent t-test was used to test
the hypothesis. The reliability index of 0.72 was obtained in the instrument.
The results of the study revealed that the undergraduates had negative
attitudes towards CBT. The results further established that there was a
significant difference (with 0.02<0.05) between the attitudes of male and
female undergraduates towards CBT in favour of females. It was however
recommended that the attitudes of undergraduates need to be considered in
the design, development and implementation of CBT and that more
orientation should be organized for male undergraduates on the effectiveness
of CBT, as this will enable them to embrace CBT like the female counterpart.
