MEASURING STUDENTS’ COMPETENCES WITH THE HELP OF ACADEMIC PROGRESS
https://doi.org/10.15826/umpa.2019.03.020
Abstract
The article studies methods for measuring the degree of students’ competencies formation according to their academic progress. The problem of measuring the formation of competencies is related to the requirements of educational standards. To solve this problem, new methods and technologies of pedagogical measurement are needed, which complement traditional ways to assess training materials. The results of applying the proposed methods in the whole university are analyzed.
Students’ marks are proposed as a tool for measuring the development of competences. Each mark is associated with a certain competence. The results of measuring the formation of one competence within different disciplines are combined via accumulating all the marks in a single database with the help of appropriate information technologies. The basis of this technology is a unified description of curricula and evaluation tools for all disciplines and types of students’ learning activities. The proposed method and technology of accounting allows us to collect students’ marks referring to every different competence, and on this basis to offer a way of measuring a competence formation. To solve the methodological problems, the competence passports have been automatically constructed within each educational programme. The information technology for recording marks and attendance form the basis for monitoring the process of competencies formation, the operational management of students and teachers.
The introduction of the proposed methods and technologies leads to the appearance of information tools for measuring the formation of students’ competences, for monitoring compliance with the requirements of educational standards, and for managing changes in teaching methods and assessment procedures.
The proposed method is new, as it links each pedagogical measurement with the appropriate competence and applies information technologies for solving the tasks of managing the learning process.
