DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ONLINE JAMB EXAMINATION PROCESSING SYSTEM

ABSTRACT

The computer is known for its wide range of uses, especially in scientific and mathematical fields. However, title or no thought has been given to designing a complete and true intelligence test on a computer system in our immediate environment. Although in advanced countries where computerized games have been developed computers have proved that they constitute ways of indirectly testing intelligence. This system is designed in order to implement an intelligence test on a computer system, it tries as much as possible to incorporate the important aspect of intelligence on a wide scale. It is designed to test the intelligence of secondary school learners using the Jamb Matriculation Examination (JME) as a standardized sample and as such the psychological implication of such a design is very important.  The design of the system is quiet and easily understood. Its flexibility makes it amendable for future changes and amendments to either incorporate other aspects of intelligence or to be designed for any other school-age or class. The question of the intelligence test is programmed and visually displayed in the system’s screen in an interactive form. The pupil answer the question on the computer system. the results obtained from the test give an estimation on the user’s (pupil) intelligence quotient (I.Q). this is equally displayed and tells the pupil in the what category he/she falls within. The result of the test is also displayed at the end of the test which goes a long way to lessen the fear of the pupil that they were marked down in the examination. The JME coordinators were really finding it very hard based on the type of processing procedures that they are using. The manual process entails a lot of complex mistakes, Errors, even missing of scripts. Many at times someone that sat for the Examination si been given the result of science subject while he/she sits for arts or management subject. There has been a situation whereby someone that did not sit for the Examination after processing the forms, got sick and was admitted. When JME result for that year came out, they sent a result for the exam he did not sit for.  It takes time to process the results through the manual process. If the new system is implemented, there will efficient, no complex mistakes, No errors and also the time factors will be shortened compared to the present system of JME processing strategy.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0       INTRODUCTION

In the past, ability test were used in admitting pupil into the university level, for instance, the scholastic aptitude test, which measures both aptitude and achievement, (the aptitude test measures accomplished skills and indicate what a person can do at present, while the achievement test predicts what a person can accomplish with training.)  But the essential requirement for any test includes reliability, validity and uniform testing procedures. The test which measures intelligence ability is often called “ intelligence test” intelligence test are usually designed to access the nature and course of mental development, intellectual and non-intellectual personality differences that might be attributed to hereditary among person at different occupational level and among their children. Intellectual and other traits of a typical group such as the mentally gifted, the mentally retarded, the neurotic and the psychotic. The topic design and implementation of the On-line JME Examination processing system (OLJMEPS) is geared towards impacting intelligence on a computer. Whereby Jamb Matriculation Examination will be conducted and taken on the computer system itself and the result displayed to a user (pupil) immediately after the examination or once it is compiled sequentially.  One may ask this question. Is this realistic? On the face value, it might be seen impossible, but with the advent of computer games, computers have proved that they constitute ways of indirectly testing intelligence.

1.1       STATEMENT OF PROBLEM.

In the Administration of the JAMB Matriculation Examination (JME), the exam comes as objective and the answer expected to be shaded on the same question paper and marked by the examiners. The scoring and grading of results and posting of pupils to various higher institutions subsequently have been divided by various human-related factors such as favoritism, graft, bribery, and corruption as well as late posting owing to the volume of work fatigue and negligence of duty.  Natural human errors also occur usually thereby leaving the whole system ineffective.

1.2       PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The study is to enable the researchers to find out the problems encountered by the jamb Matriculation Examination body in conducting and administering the Jamb matriculation examination with a view to developing a computerized system that will take care of the problems listed. On the introduction page.

1.3       AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The objectives of this topic “ON-LINE JME EXAMINATION PROCESSING SYSTEM” is to enhance the use of Computer and processes of their result and admitting them where necessary as individual choice desire. This project enables organizers to access intelligence. Capabilities of pupils to be admitted into university schools.

The project aims at the incorporation of the time on the computer to be able to shop the pupil at the exact time. With the use of computer system, the area of our concentration is achieved.

1.4       THE SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of this work is to outline the practical use of the computer system in the area of secondary school leaves to be admitted into tertiary institution

1.5       DELIMITATION

This work is designed for solely accessing the result (test) and processing of secondary school leavers into tertiary institutions
