Abstract

The need for a secure and efficient educational evaluation system in the digital era has been growing, especially with the increasing adoption of online exams. However, security and integrity issues remain significant challenges for educational institutions. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Quilgo in addressing these challenges through its personalized registration system and proctoring features. This research involved observations of several educational institutions implementing online exams using Quilgo. It also included interviews with educators and exam participants as the main data sources. The participants were teachers and students with direct experience using Quilgo in various exam settings. The study begins with data collection through direct observation of Quilgo's use in several educational institutions that have adopted online exams and interviews with educators and exam participants. The collected data include user experiences related to registration ease, technical obstacles, and the effectiveness of proctoring features in preventing cheating. The analysis used qualitative and quantitative approaches to assess the application’s efficiency and reliability across different exam scenarios. Moreover, the data analysis process was carried out using behaviorism theory (Skinner, 1963), which highlights the presence of stimuli, responses, and reinforcement—both positive and negative—in the learning evaluation process. The research results show that using personalized link-based registration in Quilgo facilitates registration and enhances security, especially when combined with domain-based email restrictions. Moreover, the proctoring feature that monitors the visual activities of exam participants proved effective in maintaining exam integrity, although challenges related to internet connectivity and device compatibility remain. Despite remaining challenges such as internet connectivity and device compatibility, the results imply that Quilgo has the potential to support more trustworthy and effective online examinations in educational settings.

Abstract

This study explores the monophthongization of diphthongs in Japanese loanwords, with a particular focus on the role of foreign language contact. Previous studies have failed to integrate acoustic evidence with sociolinguistic perception in explaining phonological adaptation in Japanese loanwards. This study fills this gap by integrating acoustic phonetic analysis and sociolinguistic perspectives. The dataset consists of 50 Japanese loanwords containing diphthongs (/ai/, /ei/, /oi/, /au/, /ou/), produced by 50 native speakers from two age groups (18–35 and 36–70). A total of 2,500 audio tokens were collected and analyzed using Praat to observe vowel duration and formant transitions. In addition, a perception survey was conducted to assess speakers' attitudes toward monophthongization. The findings indicate a systematic shift from dynamic vowel sequences toward stable long vowel nuclei, suggesting that Japanese speakers are not merely simplifying articulation but restructuring diphthongal sequences into phonologically unified segments. These findings challenge the traditional assumption that Japanese preserves vowel sequences without significant restructuring, suggesting instead that loanward phonology actively reshapes vowel organization under contact pressure. Sociolinguistic results show diverse perceptions: some consider this process natural, while others see it as an impact of media and globalization. The generational differences observed in this stud suggest that monophthongization is not a completed change but a stratified variation, where competing phonetic norms coexist across age groups. This study contributes to the understanding of sound changes in Japanese, supports language education, and provides a curated phonetic dataset for future linguistic and speech technology research.
