Abstract—The current study presents an electronic test to measure teaching skills. This test is a part of the admission system of the Faculty of Education for Early Childhood, Cairo University. The test has been prepared to evaluate university students who apply for admission the Faculty. It measures some social and physiological skills which are important for successful teachers, such as emotional adjustment and problem solving; moreover, the extent of their love for children and their capability to interact with them. The test has been approved by 13 experts. Finally, it has been introduced to 1,100 students during the admission system of the academic year 2016/2017. The results showed that most of the applicants have an auditory learning style. In addition, 97% of them have the minimum requirement skills for teaching children. Keywords—Electronic test, early childhood, skills, teacher student. I. INTRODUCTION OWADAYS, using technology in learning environments has been increased. Several schools employ modern educational tools in classrooms, such as QR-code [1]. Others use computers and cartoons as a tool for providing information and concepts [2]. Technology may give an advantage in delivering more repeatable results than human assessors [3]. The process of assessment is an integral part of the education. It includes investigating the information about learning results by identifying, collecting and interpreting this information. Operations the assessment assesses the systematic application of learning, both in education and in training [4]. The general model of the typical systems approach is shown in Fig. 1, it begins with an assessment to determine what the students know or can do. The result is compared with the required performance and knowledge. After that, learning strategies are developed to close the gap between the current and the desired situation. The learning intervention takes a different form including, discussion, lectures, projects, external reading or e-learning [5]. Computers can be used for different purposes in the educational and business environments. It can be efficient in Ahmed Amin Mousa is with the Department of Basic Science, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt (e-mail: dr_ahmed_mousa@cu.edu.eg). Gehan Azam is with the Department of Basic Science, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt (e-mail: gehan.azam@cu.edu.eg). the concept of the e-portfolio. This document is meant for publication, for instance to provide an application to employment or for a higher education institution [6]. It is found that students were more inclined to create and use e- portfolios when they perceived their use for potential employers [7]. However, this dual use—for formative assessment and job seeking—can create tensions. For example, Barrett and Carney [8] found that using e-portfolios for formal assessments can be an impediment to constructivist learning. During this learning, there will be some types of formative tests. These types of tests are usually represented as questions about what has been learned. Furthermore, in the formal systems, the formative tests judge what the students knows. In some systems, the results of the tests lead to another analysis to find the current gap with the target situation, and another intervention will be created. And the cycle is repeated. Fig. 1 A systematic approach to learning The Socratic Circle [9] can be considered as a method of teaching and learning through continuous formative tests. Students in schools are frequently assessed to evaluate their level and their schools. In some countries, the results of these tests provide a comparative data to help parents for choosing the best school for their children. Modern technology facilitates the collecting and analyzing more tests' results than the paper-based methods. Moreover, modern technology is increasingly used to deliver learning; this technology also can be used to evaluate learning and to process the data for audiences. There are four levels of using technology [10]: substitution, Ahmed Amin Mousa, Gehan Azam An Electronic and Performance Test for the Applicants to Faculty of Education for Early Childhood in Egypt for Measuring the Skills of Teacher Students N World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology International Journal of Educational and Pedagogical Sciences Vol:11, No:7, 2017 1853 International Scholarly and Scientific Research & Innovation 11(7) 2017 scholar.waset.org/1307-6892/10007592 International Science Index, Educational and Pedagogical Sciences Vol:11, No:7, 2017 waset.org/Publication/10007592
