Introduction. The introduction of a competency-based approach in Ukrainian higher education made it possible to update educational standards that define a set of general and professional competencies and learning outcomes, as well as introduce new pedagogical technologies and systems for monitoring the quality of education. Changes in the organization of digital learning largely depend on a competency-based approach. LMS Moodle is a platform that provides standard tools for implementing a competency-based approach. Purpose. To research the possibilities of LMS Moodle for the pedagogical design of the digital course and implementation of a competency-based approach in digital learning. Results. At the first stage, the summary of pedagogical design of a specific digital course built upon flip peddles on sequence is provided and a scheme is formed in which competencies, learning outcomes, and forms of assessment are defined. At the second stage, the process of designing a digital course based on the methodology of pedagogical design and tuning is researched, there an attempt is made to implement the course based on the competence approach using LMS Moodle tools of version 2.7 and version 3.3. As a result, a developed curriculum and framework are added to it, which allows observing the implementation of the learning outcomes in a convenient format. Conclusion. The results of the research show that in order to implement a competency-based approach with the use of LMS Moodle, the following requirements are essential: the scheme with linked competencies, learning outcomes, learning activities, and assessment tools. each activity has clearly indicated form, result, support methods, and estimated time. use of rubrics with all criteria aligned to learning outcomes. According to the results of the study, there are differences between LMS Moodle 2.7 and 3.3. In versions of Moodle later than 3.1, it is more convenient to analyze the achievement of learning outcomes for multiple digital courses by creating a hierarchy of competencies and learning outcomes; it is easier to conduct monitoring of the progress made towards the achievement of learning outcomes.

Abstract Background Literature suggests increasing evidence that incompetent midwifery education results in poor quality of care. The study compared and evaluated the level of compliance of the Armenian national criterion on midwifery with the global competency standards and developed recommendations for improvement. Methods The study team conducted a document review using a standardized checklist, which was adapted from the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) core assessment tools. The document review explored if the main knowledge and skills/ability related elements of each ICM competency were separately covered by different modules of the national criterion using a scoring system with categories: not met, partially met, fully met and unspecified. Results Although the national criterion did not have specifically defined competencies, most of the elements required by the ICM were present as specific learning outcomes under different modules of the criterion. Midwifery program curriculum was described as intensive with unnecessarily heavy workload. Additionally, the document review reviled that most of the learning outcome defined in modules of the national criterion focused more on theoretical knowledge rather than practical skills and abilities. Overall, the ICM required competency in provision of care during pregnancy was the most comprehensively covered one in the national criterion, while the competency in facilitation of abortion related care was the lowest covered. National criterion did not highlight the importance of topics such as women's rights and health, principles of epidemiology, statistical methods of research, cultural, local and ethical beliefs. Conclusions The systematic comparison of the national criterion with internationally recognized essential competencies demonstrates significant gaps. The study team recommends revisions to the national criterion to make it competency based. Key messages Midwifery education criteria in Armenia did not reflect internationally accepted midwifery competency’s fundamental philosophy and values. Given the shortcomings of the current national midwifery education criterion, a comprehensive revision of the competencies of midwives in Armenia should be considered.

Competency Assessment

Introduction:the article is devoted to modern methods of learning outcomes assessment. As the authors of the article show, recently the evaluation of learning outcomes is inextricably linked with the quality of education provided by an educational institution. It is noted that today there is no single interpretation of the concept “quality of education”. Due to the introduction of a competence-based approach, graduates now form not just a certain amount of knowledge and skills, but the ability to use it, to apply the experience gained in practice, so modern assessment should be fundamentally new and different from traditional methods.Materials and methods:the article identifies the features of the competency assessment system. The basic provisions of the assessment methodology were established and on their basis we identified the components of the model model of the automated assessment of professional competencies. Identified principles for constructing a competency assessment modelResults:the article analyzes the existing modern assessment tools. Among them, the methods characteristic of the authentic approach were singled out, as well as the advantages of using the electronic platform Moodle for the evaluation procedure. A new system for assessing the quality of the educational process, a point-rating system for evaluating the results of the work of the trainer, is being considered.Discussion and Conclusions: The article discusses existing tools and technologies for assessing learning outcomes, which have many advantages and their combined use makes it possible to simplify the assessment process as much as possible, to make it more convenient and intensive. The proposed recommendations for the evaluation of educational results favor not only the correct assessment of the results of the educational process, but also the ongoing monitoring of the development of professional competencies.

The article analyzes the methodical problems of teaching the clinical anatomy in medical schools, discusses the peculiarities of the organization of competency-based training in the unity of classroom and independent work of students. Emphasis is placed on the existence of some discrepancy between the expectations and the learning outcomes, which is related to the students’ insufficiently high educational motivation, not always appropriate application of methods and techniques by the teachers. High educational results are possible with the joint efforts of all subjects of education. Interviews and questionnaires of students and teachers to identify reserves of improving the quality of knowledge (100 respondents) showed that the leading form of acquiring new knowledge is an interactive lecture. The perception of theoretical material depends on the structure, the visual richness of such lecture. The second place were given for practical work (models, albums, videos, etc.) and third – for independent work (solving anatomical problems, preparation of individual and group projects). Provided the students are internally motivated, the tasks are systematic and visible, these kinds of work will deepen knowledge and ability competencies (analyze, differentiate, organize). The authors’ attention is focused on the application of such training methods as scribing, mnemonic schemes, compiling a descriptive story and more.

The Impact

This paper considers methodological approaches to the assessment of learning achievement, analysing the impact of the mark on learning motivation of students. External testing and subsequent questionnaires data may serve as an indicator of increasing learning motivation of students due to their confidence in the assessment results. Reliability of assessment is an incentive to enhance learning activities of students and increase interest in a given academic discipline. We observed difficulties of obtaining an objective assessment in schools and possible ways of overcoming them. The research provides the basic provisions of the assessment using the design pattern of assessment tools and processes on the basis of evidence-based arguments modelled on Evidence Centered Design which provides assistance in the development of high-quality assessment tools. The use of patterns may allow educators to make greater use of methods for classifying, organising and planning the assessment of cognitive and competency-based learning outcomes.

The Subject

The subject of research is the concept of active learning by students. The aim is to demonstrate its value and the possibility of using it in a pandemic of COVID 19 to a digital learning environment, in online teaching. The values inherent in this concept, in the construction of own knowledge by students, were analyzed. This is confirmed by the results of empirical research as well as in the practice of education. The use of this concept by teachers in a digital learning environment requires increased effort, but its effects increase the quality of the desired learning outcomes by students. Therefore, in the conditions of a pandemic of COVID 19, these actions are not only need but necessary.

Purpose – The purpose of this article is to discuss the collaborative learning outcomes-based approach taken by a librarian and disciplinary faculty members to improve information literacy (IL) curriculum within disciplinary courses. To this end, the team aimed to award badges to certify IL skills. Design/methodology/approach – This article considers relevant literature on competency-based curriculum, technological innovation in higher education, collaboration between library and disciplinary faculty and badges. This literature is used to frame the approach to plan a successful and sustainable project to embed IL in disciplinary curriculum using digital badges. The approach includes mapping learning outcomes and engaging in instructional design tasks – including planning for content delivery and student assessment. Findings – An approach to technological innovation for instructional projects based on the principles of pedagogical design can result in improvements to IL pedagogy and collaboration between librarians and disciplinary faculty, whether or not a technological implementation is successful. Practical implications – Librarians and disciplinary faculty can take a pedagogical and learning outcomes-based approach to embedding IL into disciplinary curricula. Further, despite administrative push for technological innovation, projects can succeed when focused on improvements to pedagogy rather than solely on the implementation of new technologies. Originality/value – Planning for and implementing badges for IL curriculum is in an incipient phase in higher education. This paper uniquely addresses a collaborative approach to be used by librarians to plan and implement embedded library instruction in disciplinary courses, with or without the use of badging technology.
