A New Approach to Measuring of Computer Literacy at the UWB
Original language description
Nowadays, computer literacy is one of the required conditions demanded by an employer, who wants to success in today's labour market. Unfortunately a so called necessary minimum of knowledge is not exactly defined. Computer literacy is an important partof basic education in the Czech Republic. Our educators face a difficult issue of assessing a level of computer literacy among our students. Because of that, this case study compares two tools used for testing of computer literacy. We selected two testing tools for this study, the Original Testing System (OTS) and the Modified Testing System (MTS), and then investigated them thoroughly by quantitative comparison. This quantitative comparison of those testing tools was done using data collected from a freshman-level Word and Excel course in fall 2010 semester in the University of West Bohemia (UWB). Comparison was based on an analysis of the performance of 138 students attending this course.
