An Investigation of test- taking strategies among Uitm students in an online test. SITI NASUHA ABU HASSAN P61632

 Test is considered as an indicator in evaluating students’ performance.  Language testing is used to achieve teaching objectives.  strategy used reflected the score of the test.  Test-taking strategy in an online test.

 number of previous research on test- taking strategy in an online test are quite limited -local studies.  It is crucial to figure out the differences and similarities of test-taking strategy – paper-pen vs computer-based.  students need new comprehension strategies to read and learn from text on the Internet. (Pianfetti, 2001)

 The aim of the study is to investigate test- taking strategy that students used in an online test.

 1) What are the types of strategy used by the students in taking an online test?  2) What are the similarities and differences in the usage of test taking strategy between paper- pen test and computer-based test?

 useful platform for further research in this area of interest.  help students in deciding the most suitable strategies in taking an online test.  Perform better.  language tester in constructing the questions for online test  educators

 Tsagari’s (1994)  test-takers tended to utilise more than one mental processing strategy depending on the individual.

 Cohen and Upton (2006)  reported in their research that more than one strategy is used to respond to a question which they call, strategy “naturally grouped together”.

 Bachman’s (1990) and Canale and Swain’s (1980) strategic competence.  3 components: assessment component, planning component and execution component.  Bachman and Palmer (1996) refined Bachman’s (1990)- 4 components- goal- setting component.  to explore students’ thoughts processes in terms of test-taking strategies in a test situation.

 Qualitative study.  Think aloud protocol.  The multiple-choice reading comprehension test (online quiz) – I- Learn portal.

 6 participants ( Uitm’s students)  Purposive sampling  will be able to provide information related to the strategies the students use in an online test situation.  Merriam (1998)

 Retrospective think aloud protocols.  a participant carries out the task, produces his verbalization. (Green, 1998; Ericsson and Simon, 1984).  Verbal report is one of the popular tool used in test-taking strategy. (Cohen & Upton, 2006)
