The Concept to Measure and Compare Students Knowledge Level in Computer Science _in Germany and in Hungary

Every ąuestion has two time limits in seconds. The first one is the minimum time needed to read, understand and answer the ąuestion, the second limit is the maximum answering time. The software saves the to tal time used by the student, fiirthermore, time limits are not seen or known by the student.

During the evaluation process various statistical methods are used (F-test, t-test, statistical analysis of the post-test, only randomized experimental design, etc.). With tlie help of these tools the examiner can show the potential real differences between the two countries from grade to grade in the analysed topie. Furthermore, using the same answers, this test will provide the opportunity to compare the Computer science education in various regions of Germany as well.
