Intended Learning Outcomes

Evaluation is an important part of our educational system. Ultimate goal of it is the evaluation of all-round development of students. For this, Summative written examination and Project work play an important role. Summative Evaluation takes place when the teaching-learning process is over. It generally takes place at the end of a terra of year. The purpose of S.E. is to determine whether the pupil has completed a particular course of studies successfully. Summative evaluation typically comes at the end of a course of instruction. It is designed to determine the extent in which the instructional objectives have been achieved and is used primarily for assigning course-grades or certifying pupil mastery of the intended learning outcomes. Projective methods are those method in which we provide the subject relatively indefinite and unstructured material and then allow students to build structure of the material in anyway according to the subject project, his feelings, attitude etc. Project Work is a learning experience which aims to provide students the opportunity to synthesise knowledge from various areas of learning and it critically and creatively applies to real life situations.

This study was aimed at identifying new effective forms that could facilitate the achievement of a practice-oriented result, i.e. students’ ability to communicate in any speech situation, as well as their readiness for various kinds of oral and written examination tests, including the public defence of projects in the 10th grade and writing December essays in the 11th grade. The article considers rhetorical competitions as a means of developing communicative and linguistic competencies among 10th–11th grade students of a polycultural school. The article provides recommendations on organizing such competitions, criteria for evaluating presentations, examples of oral presentations. A textual analysis of the folklore material of Dagestanian and Russian fairy tales and proverbs allowed the authors to conclude that an inexhaustible set of universal themes that have become the subject of reflection in different nations, can teach students to respect other cultures and extend their knowledge of the world and other people. The experience of a rhetorical competition in high school on the basis of fairy tales and proverbs of different nations is expected to help students form such core competencies as critical thinking, creativity, communication and cooperation (ability to work in a team).

Interactive Virtual Math (IVM) is a visualization tool to support secondary school students’ learning of graphs by dynamic events. In the prototype version students construct a graph and try to improve it themselves and with the feedback of the tool. In a small-scale experiment, which involved four classes at secondary and tertiary education and their mathematics teachers we investigated how the students used the tool in the classroom. In this study we focus on the students learning experience and the results are expected to provide knowledge and directions for further development of the tool. The corpus data consists of self-reported questionnaires and lessons observations. One main finding is that students, at different school levels, find the tool useful to construct or improve graphical representations and it can help to get a better understanding of the subject. The tool features that helped students most were the self-construction of the graphs and to get feedback about their own graph at the end. Other findings are that the students can work independently with the tool and we know more about the tool features that are attractive or need to be improved.

Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) has grown exponentially over the last four decades from imagination to real physical experience, especially in education. Previously, experts have completed the concepts of effectiveness, usability, acceptance and understanding in designing MAR applications to introduce and expose technological advances. However, most of these applications are addressed extensively for classroom science learning, while science experiments receive little attention. Students have to go through difficulties in understanding the phenomena of science and consequently become dissatisfied with their grasp on basic knowledge and eventually cannot pursue higher education or career related to science. This paper presents the development of Mobile Augmented Reality for Physics (MARPEX) application for high school students. The purpose of this application is to enhance the learning motivation in science experiments through the content of modern science. It aims to provide an individual learning experience for each student in science experiments. The MARPEX app design has gone through several phases of filtering and evaluation based on the specified objectives. This application needs to maintain the factors necessary to achieve this goal. This app has been designed and developed specifically for science (physics) experiments on the topic of electromagnetism. The application encrypts several experimental instances with the addition of good visualization to understand this phenomenon and has real-life experimental experience<strong>.</strong>
