2019 yılında Çin’de ortaya çıkarak bütün dünyayı etkisi altına alan COVID-19 pandemisi gündelik hayatımızda yürüttüğümüz birçok uygulamanın dijital ortamlara taşınmasını zorunlu kılmıştır. Eğitim sektörü ise bu zorunlu dönüşümden en erken ve en büyük oranda etkilenen sektör olmuştur. Özellikle yüksek öğretim kurumlarında sürdürülen yüz yüze eğitime ara verilerek zorunlu uzaktan eğitime geçilmiştir. Zorunlu uzaktan eğitim sürecinde yüksek öğretim kurumları dersleri senkron ya da asenkron yöntemlerle yürütmüştür. Bu kurumlar açısından en önemli zorluklardan birinin çevrimiçi sınavları sınav güvenliğini sağlayacak şekilde yapmak olduğu görülmüştür. Bu amaçla birçok yüksek öğretim kurumu gözetmenler tarafından denetlenen çevrimiçi sınav uygulamaları yapmıştır. Fakat kurumlar bu uygulamaların koordinasyonu için bir kontrol sistemi kullanmamıştır. Bu çalışma ile önerilen web tabanlı sistem, denetimli çevrimiçi sınavların öğrenciler, gözetmenler ve ders sorumluları arasından tam koordinasyon sağlayacak şekilde yürütülmesine imkân sunmaktadır. Erciyes Üniversitesi İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi (ERÜ İİBF) tarafından 2020-2021 öğretim yılı güz dönemi yarıyıl sonu sınavları ile birlikte kullanılmaya başlanan sistem başarı ile uygulanmıştır. Öğrencilerin aldıkları derslerin dönem sonu sınavlarına %77 oranında katıldığı, sınava katılan öğrencilerin %97,4’ününün kamera açtığı ve öğrencilerin %1,8’i hakkında gözetmenler tarafından sınav kurallarını ihlal gerekçesi ile ihlal kaydı girildiği tespit edilmiştir. Gözetmenler sistemin tanımış olduğu imkânı kullanarak kendi aralarında sınav görevlerini %4,6 oranından değiştirmiştir. Yüz yüze eğitim için de gerekli uyarlamaların yapıldığı sistem ERÜ İİBF tarafından halen kullanılmaktadır
Önerilen sistemin geliştirilmesinde koşulsuz desteği bulunan ERÜ İİBF Dekanlığı'na teşekkür ederim.
The COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged in China in 2019 and affected the whole world, made it necessary to move many applications we carry out in our daily lives to digital environments. The education sector is the earliest and most affected by this compulsory transformation. Particularly, face-to-face education in higher education institutions was suspended and compulsory distance education was started. During the compulsory distance education process, higher education institutions conducted the courses with synchronous or asynchronous methods. It has been seen that one of the most important challenges for these institutions is to conduct online exams in a way that ensures exam security. For this purpose, many higher education institutions have implemented online exams supervised by invigilators. However, institutions did not use a control system for the coordination of these processes. The web based system proposed in this study allows supervised online exams to be conducted in a way that ensures full coordination among students, invigilators and lecturers. The system, which was started to be used by the Erciyes University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences (ERU FEAS) with the final exams of the 2020-2021 academic year fall semester, has been successfully implemented. Students participated in 77% of the final exams, 94.7% of them turned on their cameras during the exams and 1.8% of them violated the exam rules, according to the invigilator reports. Invigilators, using the opportunity provided by the system, changed the exam tasks among themselves at the rate of 4.6%. The system, in which necessary adaptations are made for face-to-face education, is still used by ERU FEAS.
