One of the biggest
challenges for online learning is upholding academic integrity in online
assessments. In particular, institutions and faculties attach importance to
exam security and academic dishonesty in the online learning process. The aim
of this study is to compare the test-taking behaviors and academic achievements
of students in proctored and unproctored online exam environments. In this
context, the log records of students in proctored and unproctored online exam
environments were compared using visualization and log analysis methods. The
results showed that while there was no significant difference between the exam
scores, a significant difference was found between time spent on the first
question on the exam, total time spent on the exam, and the mean and median
times spent on each question. Cheating behaviors on exams are unlikely to be
frequently observed in situations in which formative assessment scores affect
overall performance. The results will guide researchers in designing low-risk
exams by analyzing exam data, creating insights about the issues to be
considered in the security of exams, and designing intervention systems to be
developed for the future.
