TO THE QUESTION OF THE FEASIBILITY OF USING TEST TECHNOLOGIES TO CONTROL THE QUALITY OF EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY OF STUDENTS
The article discusses the feasibility of using computer test technologies to monitor student learning in a technical college. The main purpose of the federal state educational standards is the result of the educational process. The effectiveness of education is considered not as a set of knowledge and skills acquired by students from different academic disciplines, but as the ability of a learner to apply knowledge and skills in practical professional activities, as the formation by students of certain competencies. In assessing educational results, it is necessary to analyze the levels of education that have been achieved by students at a certain stage of study. Along with the traditional methods of assessing students learning of educational material for current and mid-term monitoring of academic achievement, it is advisable to use test technologies to form students' knowledge component of competences. The article discusses the advantages, place and limitations of test methods in the system of control and assessment of the formation of students' competencies. The use of test tasks for technical disciplines in order to assess the formation of basic concepts of the discipline among students, assimilation by students of educational material is very effective and useful. But to evaluate the student's ability to concretize his answer with examples, the ability to logically and convincingly express his thoughts, analyze the depth of knowledge and practical skills of solving the student's problems using test techniques are unlikely to work. Despite these shortcomings of testing as a method of pedagogical control, its positive aspects (efficiency, objectivity, systematic conducting, teaching testing function, computer implementation of testing) make this form of knowledge diagnostics a promising direction for the development of pedagogical measurements in the system of training qualified personnel of various levels in the construction industry.
