E-assessment, Kiswahili Language Academic Achievement, Selected Universities in Kenya

Kiswahili is the most spoken language locally, regionally and in Africa. Despite its importance, academic achievement of Kiswahili students in Universities in Kenya has been unsatisfactory as evidenced by low levels of spoken and written skills as well as performance in examinations. The unsatisfactory achievement in Kiswahili is of great concern because it reduces chances of its graduates to gain employment in fields that require mastery of the language. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between adoption of e-assessment and achievement among Kiswahili language students in selected Kenyan universities. The study is deemed necessary because the available literature does not seem to examine the relationship between adoption of e-assessment and Kiswahili language academic achievement. The study was informed by the Moore’s Theory of Transactional Distance and Self Determination theory. The sample size was 9 Kiswahili language lecturers, 3 Directors of ODel Centers and 300 Kiswahili language students who were selected through purposive sampling and simple random sampling respectively. The research instruments were piloted and reliability index of 0.82 was obtained therefore the instruments were deemed reliable. Qualitative data was analyzed using Thematic Analysis (TA). Quantitative data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistical methods included percentages and means. Inferential statistical methods used were Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Regression analysis. Frequencies and percentages were used to summarize and describe data whereas Pearson Moment Correlation and Regression were used to establish relationships. Data analysis was done using Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS).The findings established that adoption of e-assessment did not have a significant relationship with Kiswahili language students’ academic achievement (r=0.870, p-value=0.05).The study recommends that universities to develop policies to ensure that all students, regardless of their financial status or geographical location, have equal access to e-assessment opportunities. It further recommends that universities to offer ongoing training for students and lecturers on e-assessment tools and best practices to ensure effective implementation and utilization.
