Abstract
The objectives of this research were 1) to develop an online testing system for student teachers in the Faculty of Education, Northeastern University; and 2) to examine the satisfaction of students, administrators, lecturers, and educational personnel with the online testing system. This study employed a research and development (R&D) design. The research instruments consisted of questionnaires, interview forms, and the online testing system platform. Interviews were conducted with stakeholders involved in the teacher professional standards assessment and teacher aptitude evaluation for students and educational personnel of the Faculty of Education, Northeastern University. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and content analysis.
The results showed that 1) the development of the online testing system for student teachers in the Faculty of Education, Northeastern University enhanced the efficiency and convenience of examination management, reducing budgetary and resource constraints. System administrators were able to manage test items and generate examination reports effectively, while test takers could complete examinations conveniently without location limitations. The system fully supported multiple-choice tests and was in the process of further development to accommodate essay-type examinations. 2) The overall user satisfaction with the online testing system platform was at a high level ( = 4.20, SD. = 0.81), indicating that the developed system effectively met users’ needs.
