Abstract

This paper presents the development and implementation of Computer-Assisted Assessments (CAA) for helping lecturer in assessing students' achievements on the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Approach. PBL Assessment is typically formative; it includes delivery achievement feedback for the student, with the aim of improving their skills. The use of CAA in PBL gives advantages for both of lecturer and students by providing them with detailed formative feedback on their learning achievements compare to conventional assessment. It also reduces lecturer's tedious load by automating parts of the task of marking students' work. The methodology applied to this research was literature review and investigation of practitioners' perception about assessment in PBL. The literatures showed that there are methods of assessments that have been used successfully in PBL, but the research selected seven methods as a PBL assessment framework; there are "Peer-assessment, Self-assessment, Group-presentation, Individualactivities, Group-report assessment, pre-test and post-test assessment." The framework applied to the tool that encompasses the use of computer (called with CAPBLAT) for helping lecturer in assessing students' achievements. In addition, the CAPBLAT helps to store assessment material, deliver assessment, and does an auto-rating of the assessment result.
