A Dilemma on “Web-based/Mobile Assessment” by or for Teachers: A Content Analysis Eser Çeker (Near East University, Nicosia, North Cyprus, Mersin 10, Turkey eser.ceker@neu.edu.tr) Hüseyin Uzunboylu (Near East University, Nicosia, North Cyprus, Mersin 10, Turkey huseyin.uzunboylu@neu.edu.tr) Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the research of open access studies conducted and published in ‘Web of Science’ indexed electronic journals and publications, as well as Master & Doctorate level open thesis studies from PQDT Open, OADT Org., EthOS and Council of Higher Education Thesis Center-Turkey on “web based/mobile teacher assessment”. The total number of articles reached was 1330. According to the results depending on selected variables, there is a clear, steady increase in the number of publications on this subject throughout the years, and researchers from USA are the clear leaders in the order list; followed by UK, China, Australia and Taiwan. The leading universities are from USA, Taiwan and UK as well. “Articles”, “Proceeding Papers” and “Meeting Abstracts” are the most preferred document types used. Following the number of articles on “computer science” and “engineering” research areas, articles classified to “Educational Research” areas are popular as well. Interestingly, “teacher assessment” oriented articles mostly were more focused to “assessing students by teachers”, but very few examples exists for “assessing teachers by students”. After this research and the results achieved, the authors of this article has conclusions that sufficient information exists to further study the title subject towards a new PhD study.

Teachers who follow this projection, are more successful in skills such as counselling, leading and communicating with their students, and have better chances to achieve their targets. Assessment is a fundamental step in the learning process, which is mostly used by teachers to evaluate student success in learning. Now, the necessity of adding both perspectives (teacher’s and student’s) to the assessment process is needed. This study, aims to identify the characteristics of the recent studies done on “web based/mobile assessment tools”, and look for examples on web-based/mobile assessment tools for assessing teacher performance by students.
