Abstract
In the context of the pandemic-related restrictions, faculty development programs at the KNRTU Institute for Faculty Continuing Professional Education were transferred to the online format and implemented on the Moodle platform with testing as a form of final certification. The aim of the study was to determine the characteristics of the Moodle tests and the applicability of the statistical indices’ accepted values to the contingent of university faculty using the statistical functions of Moodle. A statistical analysis of the test results in Moodle was conducted to assess the quality of the tests and make the necessary adjustments to bring them to the conformity with requirements.
The quality of the tests and the possibility of their usage were assessed based on the facility and discrimination indices, and questions that did not correspond to the requirements were removed from the question banks. The tests were adjusted taking into account the applicability of statistical indices’ target values to the contingent of university lecturers.
The results obtained can be useful for universities implementing further education programs for faculty in an online format.
