Teachers’ views on the use of quizizz in the classroom: a case study at the Faculty of English Language Studies, Hanoi University of Business and Technology

Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions of teachers towards a digital application platform called Quizizz. The research was carried out with the participation of 20 experienced lectures from the Faculty of English Language Studies at Hanoi University of Business and Technology (HUBT). With data collected from the questionnaires and interviews, the findings indicated that most of the teachers held positive attitudes towards the use of Quizizz and showed their welcomes to its usage in the future lessons. The data also suggested that Quizizz was believed to improve the class’s atmosphere as well as student’s engagement. Some Quizizz-based activities such as reviewing exercises, assigning homework and assigning tests received encouragement from the teachers as their effectiveness could be found in both online and offline context. The study also reports that there were many obstacles in employing Quizzes including the availability and stability of the Internet, choosing and designing suitable Quizzes within time constraints and the validity of the test. The implication of the research added that support from the faculty and the university should be required to maximize the exploitation of this gamebased learning platform and its effectiveness in future classes.
