Challenges of online assessment during covid-19 pandemic : an experience of study skills teachers

الملخص EN

This study explores Study Skills teachers' perceptions and challenges of assessing students' learning in an online environment during Covid-19 pandemic.

It used a descriptive method employing qualitative data collection methods through focus group interview for five teachers.

Results indicated that these teachers believe that online assessment was necessary and helpful especially during the pandemic lockdown, but at the same time, they are still reluctant to integrate it due to adapting to this mode of assessment, lack of students' training, technical problems and academic dishonesty.

We suggest that effective application of online assessment can provide advanced pedagogical strategies that facilitate an ongoing and adequate learning.
