Abstract

This research examines an assessment system that combines a mobile device with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. Teachers attach or embed NFC tags into answer choices and students answer each question by bringing their mobile phone close to the answer that they think is the correct one. A four-week experiment shows that this assessment method takes more time than a traditional one. Also, the grades differ from those using traditional assessment. Analysis of the experiment results and subsequent tester survey and interviews show that this assessment method can help students incorporate what they have learned in the classroom into real life, as well as reflects how well students comprehend what is taught to them in a classroom setting.
