Implementing and using new e-testing system to increase the effectiveness of learning in primary schools of Macedonia

• Nowadays, the impact of technology on education has been outstanding and this brings new challenges for educational institutions to manage many issues that were previously not managed with ease due to geographical limitations or lack of adequate training technologies. The extensive use of technology in learning makes its use inevitable in the assessment process. Although, a lot of software packages exist in the market, it is difficult to adapt them according to a certain educational system. In this paper we present the characteristics of the new model of e-testing system that we have designed and developed. This system is implemented and is used for testing by several schools of our country. Before applying the new system, students were tested in a classical way. We have gathered and compared the classical testing results and those from using e-testing tool for assessment of student knowledge. As a conclusion, the success of the students tested electronically is much higher comparing with the success of students tested classically.
