Diagnostics of the results of mastering competencies in the information environment for teaching IT students
Abstract
Purpose of research. Diagnostics of learning results presented in a competency-based format is currently a necessary part of the educational process of universities. The purpose of the research is to develop and implement a convenient and technological way to diagnose the results of mastering competencies by IT students in the information learning environment. One of the most popular distance learning systems in Russian universities, Moodle, supplemented with proprietary software and third-party resources, is used as the implementation environment. The article presents the results of modeling and implementation of the proposed method for diagnosing the results of mastering the competencies of IT students. Methods and materials. The authors propose an infological model of the process of preparing a bank of diagnostic tasks in a competence format. The necessity of decomposition of competence indicators into disciplinary components, the achievement of which can be diagnosed by known means of pedagogical measurements, is substantiated. The method of implementing the decomposition of competencies in the Moodle system using the Competence Framework, and the technology of preparing diagnostic tasks based on the principle of uniform coverage of all competence indicators by tasks are presented. A step-by-step algorithm for adjusting the bank of tasks is proposed. The algorithm is based on the analysis of the statistical characteristics of the results of completing tasks by students. A method for automatically tracking the mastering of competencies by students based on the results of performing diagnostic tasks in the Moodle system is described. Results. The article presents an example of the implementation of the proposed method for diagnosing the results of mastering the competencies in the process of training bachelors in the direction “09.03.04 Software engineering”. The following are presented: the result of decomposition of indicators of achievement of one of the decomposition of competencies into disciplinary components. The general professional competencies into disciplinary components, results of the implementation of the proposed method at the Vologda the process of preparing tasks for diagnostics for each disciplinary State University when teaching students of the direction “Software component, disciplinary and interdisciplinary results of diagnosing Engineering” are presented. The results of modeling and implethe mastering of competencies obtained in the Moodle system. mentation of the process of diagnostics of the results of mastering The results of the experiment showed that the implementation of competencies can be adapted to the educational process for various the proposed method in the information educational environment areas of training and forms of education. The continuation of this requires certain time costs at the preparatory stage, but they pay study has good prospects for improving the quality of diagnostic off by improving the quality of diagnostic procedures and the procedures of the competence format and the effectiveness of the convenience of their implementation. educational process as a whole.Conclusion. In the course of the study, a technological method for diagnosing the results of mastering the competencies by ITstudents in the information learning environment was developed,implemented and tested in practice. The method is based on thedecomposition of competencies into disciplinary components. Theresults of the implementation of the proposed method at the VologdaState University when teaching students of the direction “SoftwareEngineering” are presented. The results of modeling and implementation of the process of diagnostics of the results of mastering competencies can be adapted to the educational process for various areas of training and forms of education. The continuation of this study has good prospects for improving the quality of diagnosticprocedures of the competence format and the effectiveness of theeducational process as a whole.
