The major section reports on the practical design of developing and administering CBT in a mathematics competition by HOTS educational innovation development (HEID) in a mathematics competition. This chapter describes the CBT developmental process undertaken by HEID, which focuses on constructing multiple-choice test items, administering CBT, and scoring the test. While CBT offers the possibility of improving assessment, the process of preparing items and conducting online competition have nevertheless encountered several challenges such as getting quality test items, school and teacher readiness, seat time in front of computer, computer compatibility, and internet speed. As with many other educational reforms at infancy, more research in the area of implementing CBT to facilitate international competitions is needed in landscaping the assessment platform of Education 4.0.","PeriodicalId":250861,"journal":{"name":"Redesigning Higher Education Initiatives for Industry 4.0","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131295732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The future of our world looks so promising. The revolution is happening, and the impact is already seen in many sectors. Education is one of the sectors that needs to be in line with the growth of the technology to produce a world class work force. In Malaysia, the government had earlier made many changes in education through its National Higher Education Action Plan 2007-2010 in transforming teaching and learning process focusing on technology. Innovative and entrepreneurial skills must be possessed by new graduates and they must deal with complexity with cognitive flexibility. This is because they need to accept robots as their working colleagues apart from humans. The need for better communication and collaborative skills will be far more important than ever. Graduates must acquire self-learning skills to remain relevant in the era of rapid changes.","PeriodicalId":250861,"journal":{"name":"Redesigning Higher Education Initiatives for Industry 4.0","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127826415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
