Purpose. The necessity of developing new approaches to evaluating the quality of training outcomes arises in the context of developing trends for competency-based approach and person-centered virtual electronic environment. This paper deals with the creation of the evaluation tool system, which provides for the development of competencies and the evaluation of the outcomes of teaching mathematics in adaptive e-learning courses. Methodology. The research is based on the empirical and theoretical methods. Results. The paper considers the competency-based approach, the concepts of competency and competence. Competence-forming educational technologies are specified. The levels of developing the mathematical competency are shown. The evaluation tools for academic achievement and competencies in the frame of the adaptive e-learning course on discrete mathematics are represented: test bank and academic achievement record. The proposed tools provide for quantitative and qualitative level of competency evaluation. The advantages of the use of these tools are mentioned. Scope of application. The results of the research can be used for the development of adaptive e-learning courses on mathematics in the realm of the competency-based approach.
