This study aims to examine graders’ satisfaction with the open-ended question implementation in one of the open education systems in Türkiye. The quantitative research method was adopted in this study in which the data were collected through a questionnaire developed by the researchers. The graders' satisfaction regarding open-ended question implementation was discussed in three dimensions. These are "the functioning of the open-ended question grading system", "the need for communication/help while using the system" and "the importance of open-ended questions in open and distance learning". Whether the sub-dimension scores of the measurement tool were different from the expected values was examined with the Wilcoxon test. The graders' satisfaction regarding open-ended question implementation was analysed according to gender, title, and course variables. It was observed that the graders' satisfaction levels regarding the "Satisfaction with the grading system " and the "importance of openended questions in open and distance learning" were high. It was observed that the satisfaction levels of the graders regarding the " Satisfaction with the grading system", "the need for communication/help arising during using the system" and "the importance of open-ended questions in open and distance learning" did not change according to gender, academic title and the type of course they scored.
