Quizizz as an Alternative Assessment Tool: A Survey

Among the problems faced by students in higher learning institutions during the Covid-19 pandemic is the constraint to carry out real-time and face-to-face assessments. This constraint causes students to have difficulty completing the assessments within the time given. This research aims to examine the use of Quizizz, a game-based quiz application, as an alternative approach to increase students’ commitment in completing the long-distance quizzes within the allotted time, as well as improving students’ mastery of the topics being assessed. By using this application, instructors can conduct a real-time quiz session with their students remotely, regardless the distances. Quizizz also provides the final score along with correct answers to all questions once the quiz is completed. This Quasi-Experimental study involved 110 local and international students taking social science courses. The research data were analyzed using the T-Sample test for comparison of scores between conventional and alternative quizzes and the Simple Linear Regression test for correlation analysis between variables. Comparison of score analysis between quizzes recorded a significant difference, with a value of p = 0.000 recorded. Regression analysis, in contrast, showed a significant relationship between alternative methods and the scores produced. The results show that students are more comfortable and interested in using game-based quiz as an e-quiz approach in the new norm.
