STAKEHOLDERS` PERCEPTION ON SYNCHRONOUS AND
ASYNCHRONOUS FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING DURING
AND AFTER COVID-19
This study assessed stakeholders` perception on synchronous and asynchronous
assessment of learning. This study employed the descriptive survey design. Two research
questions and two hypotheses were used for the study. 340 stakeholders’ views were
collated using on-line survey of general public with an instrument titled "stakeholders’
perception of on-line formative assessment questionnaire (SPOFAQ). The face and
content validation of the instrument was done by three experts in the field of measurement
and evaluation. A reliability estimate of 0.86 was obtained using Cronbach alpha with
the help of mean and standard deviation while analysis of variance was used to test the
hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that the perception of
stakeholders of synchronous and asynchronous assessment of learning is high and
positive. The study also found that the difference in the perception of stakeholders on
both synchronous and asynchronous learning was significant with that of the parents
being the highest followed by lecturers, teachers and students respectively. The study
recommends that government and relevant stakeholders adopt swift measures to
facilitate the creation of awareness, utilization and implementation of both synchronous
and asynchronous formative learning approaches.
