FACTORS AFFECTING LECTURERS’ ASSESSMENT PRACTICES IN SOMALIA HIGHER EDUCATION

Ali Araye Addow

Abstract


This study aims at the design and evaluation of an educational Android application; the purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting lecturers’ assessment practices in Somalia’s higher education. Design, interpretation, and application were hypothesized as the factors influencing assessment practices in Somalia’s higher education. A questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 314 university lecturers. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample. A multiple regression analysis was utilized to analyze the quantitative data. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 was used to analyze the data. This also implies that the predicted variables are indicative of academic staff assessment methods in Somalian universities. Multiple regression analysis shows that design, while still a significant predictor, has a greater influence on the academic staff's evaluation processes than interpretation and application.
