Abstract
Mathematics plays a crucial role in this technological age, yet students due to their attitude to mathematics are not performing well in the subject. This study sought to investigate the attitude of undergraduate students towards mathematics computer based tests in Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko,Ondo State. The study adopted a survey design. A sample of 200 undergraduate mathematics Education Students were drawn through simple random sampling Technique. A self-designed questionnaire titled “Undergraduate Attitude Towards Mathematics Based Computer Test Questionnaire” (UATMBCTQ). Data collected were analysed using Chi Square, mean, standard deviation and t-test. Findings revealed that there was positive attitude of undergraduate students towards computer based test in mathematics. Also the attitude of undergraduate students towards computer based testing was significantly positive; hence it was recommended that computer based testing should be employed by universities at all levels to improve undergraduates’ performance in mathematics and also enhance their interest in mathematics.
