Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
This study was aimed at developing an online assessment module to assist lecturer in using Kahoot! and to determine the effects of Kahoot! on students’ performance in the Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI). This study was also intended to evaluate respondents’ perceptions about KOA. The study used quantitative approach with quasiexperimental design. The respondents of this study were 200 (120 female; 80 male) Semester 1 undergraduate student-teachers in the Early Childhood Education programme who enrolled in the KAQ1023 course in the 2017/2018 session. Four classes were involved in this study, two classes were for the control group Paper and Pencil Assessment (PPA) and another two for the experimental group Kahoot! Online Assessment (KOA). Assignment of classes to the control and treatment groups were done through simple random sampling. The 100 respondents from the KOA group were also involved in answering the Likert-type questionnaire measuring their perception about Kahoot!. The achievement data f rom the pre and post-test were analysed using the SPANOVA while data from the questionnaire were analysed using factor analysis and descriptive statistics. The findings indicated that there were improvements in achievement for both KOA and PPA groups, but the gain in achievement for KOA group was significantly higher. The Huynh-Feldt values indicates that there was a main effect of the group [F (1.88, 372.89) = 710.80, p
