Construction and Validation of Virtual Assessment Standard Indicator Scale for Universities (92952)

Virtual classroom, unlike the traditional classroom setting, is a digital learning platform where learners are exposed to educational content online. Virtual teaching and learning has gained momentum at all levels of education in Nigeria since the advent of the global pandemic of 2020 that compelled the adoption of remote teaching. Even though there was a quick shift from the traditional classroom to virtual classroom by teachers and lectures during the pandemic, there was a big problem when it was time to assess the level of academic progress of learners. This is largely due to the fact that most teachers and students in Nigeria lack skills needed for the conduct of online examinations. Hence the constructed and validated a scale called “Virtual Assessment Standard Indicator Scale”; that could guide the conduct of virtual assessment using a Variance-based Structural Equation Modeling. A total of 2,078 undergraduates studying Science, Social science and Art courses, from Federal, State and Private Universities in the South-South Geo-Political Zone of Nigeria were sampled. The estimated reliability indices which were between 0.93 and 0.98, for all the ten (10) latent constructs, the acceptable values of 0.5 or higher of AVEs, and the estimated HTMT values of less than 0.9, established the adequacy of Virtual Assessment Standard Indicators as an essential tool for assessing the academic development of students in a virtual classroom. The scale validation procedures used can also be adopted by test developers and researchers within the scope of the findings of this study.
