In modern conditions, there is an acute problem of developing control and evaluation, measuring, monitoring tools that allow diagnosing the level of formation of students' competencies at a university. The traditional assessment system cannot diagnose a student's competencies, reflecting only their knowledge component. The authors present a methodology for diagnosing competencies based on the performance of students during vocational training at the university. The presented methodology, based on the competence-based paradigm, uses a qualimetric approach to assessing the professional and general cultural competencies of a student throughout the entire period of study. The article describes a cumulative system for assessing competencies, criteria, levels of formation and methods for their assessment, allowing for the diagnosis educational activities. This article is intended for teachers of higher education, heads of departments of the university, methodological departments, researchers involved in the diagnostics of educational activities.

The main goal of modern higher education is to prepare a qualified specialist (bachelor, master, postgraduate student) who is ready for work and professional growth, has social and professional mobility, and is able to adapt to changing external conditions. Competence characterizes the specifics professional activity and the quality of professional training of a modern university graduate. A significant element of competence is experience - the integration into a single whole of individual actions achieved by a person, methods and techniques for solving problems. The expression of professional competencies involves the constant updating and growth of professional knowledge, the development new information for the successful solution of professional problems for university students. For the first time in education, the question of the continuity of the development of competencies by stages of education is raised, it is required to take into account specific competencies for each area of ​​professional training.

In the current conditions of the competence-based paradigm, the forms of education are significantly changing, there is a shift towards the use of active and problem-based learning methods, where the student can fully demonstrate his abilities, that is, the task of evaluating the active characteristics of learning and the student's personal qualities comes to the fore. Accordingly, there is a need for such an assessment system that could integrate all methods, methods, forms of assessment and be cumulative throughout the entire period of study. It is required to change the system for monitoring students' knowledge at the university, to develop such an assessment system that would adequately reflect the process of forming professional and general cultural competencies as a result of higher education, determined by the ability and readiness of the graduate to perform professional and social actions in the chosen subject area.

Despite a significant amount of pedagogical research in the field of the formation of professional competencies and in the field of standardization and assessment of the quality of education based on a competency-based approach, the qualification requirements for a modern specialist from employers are still at the stage of formation, while the learning process is already built on the formation of professional and general cultural competencies established by the educational standard. In addition, there are currently no developments on a universal assessment system for the professional and general cultural competencies of a student at the university.

Competences, which describe learning outcomes, are a set of knowledge, skills, abilities, and personal qualities that a graduate will be able to demonstrate by obtaining a bachelor's or master's degree. General concept professional competence is considered from the point of view of the competitiveness of a specialist in the labor market, response to the employer's requests, readiness to perform certain actions in a quality manner.

The peculiarity of competence, as a result of education, is that it: is an integrated result of learning, manifests itself and exists in the form of activity, and not information about it; associated with a significant number of objects of action, is built up together with other competencies, forming professional competence; competence, as an action, does not appear automatically, but consciously and repeatedly manifested, forms a professional experience. The competence-based approach is more aimed at achieving the quality of training that meets the economic and social social needs, creating a balance between the demand in the labor market and the interests and professional realization of the individual.

To assess professional and general cultural competencies, we propose to use a qualimetric approach that provides measurements in numerical form or in conditional indicators; including a combination of research methods aimed at obtaining versatile information about the object, tracking the dynamics of changes in its indicators and analyzing possible deviations and providing a transition from a qualitative, one-sided description of phenomena to objective, accurate methods of checking and generalizing the results of students' learning.

1 step. Definition of professional and general cultural competencies and their structure in the field of study;

2 step. Determination of methods for the formation of professional and general cultural competencies for each academic discipline;

3 step. Formation of a base of control and evaluation tools for diagnosing professional and general cultural competencies for each academic discipline;

4 step. Formation of a professional profile of a university student, including an integrated assessment of all professional and general cultural competencies.

5 step. Analysis of the results of diagnostics of professional and general cultural competencies from the standpoint of a student, teacher, university administration, and employer.

This algorithm implements a structuring function (taking into account the requirements of the standard, employer, university administration) to the goals and content of training, a control function (development of control evaluation tools, their Information Support and continuous monitoring) and a control function (based on the adjustment of the process of mastering the educational material of the discipline based on the results of competency diagnostics).

The measure of competence is the practical application of knowledge, skills and abilities in the conditions of a time limit, supplemented by personal qualities - motivation, discipline, organization, purposefulness, etc.

At the initial stage of developing diagnostic tools, it is necessary to analyze the Federal State Educational Standards for each area of ​​study and identify the types of activities and a set of professional and general cultural competencies necessary for their development. We offer as a structural component of professional competencies: cognitive (completeness and generalization of professional knowledge), activity (development and formation of professional skills), communicative (ability to work in a team, make managerial decisions), axiological (moral and value positions) components, which can be formed at three evaluation levels - low (reproductive activity), medium (independent productive activity), high (independent creative activity).

The second stage of the competency diagnostics algorithm is to determine the content of training in each discipline and the totality of pedagogical forms, methods and technologies that contribute to the formation of professional and general cultural competencies. The graduate's competencies should allow him to work successfully in his chosen professional field, acquire social, personal and general cultural qualities that contribute to his social mobility and stability in the labor market. In the preparation of modern graduates, the leading forms are active teaching methods that recreate not only the subject, but also the social content of future professional activity. During the training, the student must necessarily perform precise actions in a quasi-professional environment, similar to those that will take place in his professional activity. The use of active methods as pedagogical technologies, from our point of view, can be especially successful after industrial practices, where students receive specific knowledge on the state of enterprises, territories of the region, have the opportunity to work with regulatory documentation, master jobs.

Of course, the level of competence formation in traditional education (lectures, practice, laboratory work, seminars), personal development of the student, external factors, etc., also contribute to this assessment. However, empirical observations of students in the course of professional training demonstrate an increase in interest and professional orientation, mastery of professional terms, ways of communication and interaction, namely within the framework of active learning methods.

For each type of activity developed within the framework of curriculum and the program of the discipline, the formed set of pedagogical technologies, it is necessary to determine the method for assessing competencies.

Competences, as such, have a cognitive (knowledge and understanding of professionally significant information), activity (knowledge of how to act) and personal (knowledge of how to be) basis. Achievements of bachelors are quantitative and qualitative indicators of the development of imitative professional activity and reflect the development process and movement towards the goal of professional training - a high level of competencies. Therefore, the results of the formation of professional and general cultural competencies should include mastered competencies, value relations, and formed personal qualities.

The cognitive and partly activity basis of competencies formed in the framework of lectures, practical and laboratory classes can be checked using traditional assessment tools: oral and written surveys, independent and control work, a system of test items for input, current and final types of control, taking into account the goals of diagnostics . Test tasks are built taking into account the taxonomy of goals using problematic and situational tasks.

As part of active teaching methods (business games, project methods, etc.), we recommend using an expert assessment of professional and general cultural competencies as a way to diagnose students' actions (manifestations of competence). Each competence shown by a student is associated with an action or event recorded by an expert, in addition, the final result of the task is also evaluated (the goal of the active method is a developed project or an achieved level, a solved problem). Accordingly, each student's action should be recorded in a special competency map, which takes into account, in addition to the level shown (low, medium high), also a personal contribution, that is, whether this competency is manifested in independent or group activities.

To determine the level of professional and general cultural competencies in the course of active learning methods, an average of 5 precedents are needed to make a diagnosis. The overall result of the theoretical and practical mastering of the discipline is accumulated in a specially organized automated database, which makes it possible to analyze learning gaps for their timely correction (for both the student and the teacher).

We propose to build a student's professional profile for each area of ​​training on the basis of professional and general cultural competencies established by the standard. The ideal state is the achievement of a high level (independent creative activity) for all components of the identified competencies to be considered as a professional profile, for example, if professional the profile can be represented as a 100% match (figure).

Correspondence of the level of professional and general cultural competencies of the student to the profile of the profession for the student

Based on the results of mastering each discipline, after each control procedure, the database is filled. The cumulative assessment of a student is an additive assessment of all his actions within the same discipline. Each discipline and its control stages have a certain specific weight (percentage of participation) in the formation of certain professional and general cultural competencies. The total result for all disciplines during the entire training is accumulated in the student's personal database, where, based on the results of the semester, the student's compliance with the profession profile is determined.

At the final stage of the proposed algorithm for diagnosing professional and general cultural competencies, an analysis is made of the effectiveness of training at the level of each student, student group, discipline studied during the selected time periods (a week of study, a semester, academic year, the entire period of study) for an objective analysis and possible adjustment of the learning process.

Pilot-experimental implementation of the proposed diagnostic tools in the teaching practice of the Kazan National Research Technical University. A.N. Tupolev (for the graduating department (industrial and environmental safety) and the general education department (computational mathematics)) demonstrated its effectiveness, determined by:

Updating the content of disciplines, in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standards and employers in modern conditions, which enhances the professional orientation of education;

Selection of productive pedagogical technologies using active and interactive teaching methods for the formation of dedicated professional competencies;

Improving the control evaluation tools of the discipline;

Automation of the system for collecting, storing and analyzing information;

Transparency of the educational process for the administration of the university;

Strengthening motivation and improving the performance of students participating in the experiment, on average by 28%.

Using this scoring system allows you to:

Get an assessment of the achievement of competencies individually by each student for each discipline, topic and type of study;

Determine the individual qualities of each student, their professional suitability, personal qualities, such as: group work, behavior and ability to work in a team, leadership skills etc.;

Diagnose gaps in the assimilation of knowledge, skills and abilities by students during traditional learning and competencies in the course of active teaching methods and to carry out their timely correction;

Get complete information about the professional skills of the student administration of the university and potential employers.

Modern conditions of educational activity suggest that its result will not be the amount of knowledge gained by the student, but his ability and willingness to work in the chosen professional field, competitiveness in the labor market.

Determining the methodology for diagnosing the competencies of a university graduate, the necessary criteria and characteristics using automated information tools allows the teacher to monitor their own activities and the activities of the student, determining the aspects necessary for correction.

For a student in the course of diagnosing professional competencies, the process of modeling their own professional activity takes place, and a strategy for professional training at the university is developed depending on the chosen profile of future activity. And also in the course of diagnostics, students form a system of values ​​that characterizes the integrity of the individual, perseverance in achieving their goals, attitude towards themselves, towards knowledge, towards their future profession.

Russia's entry into the Bologna process and the change in the model of higher education imply a shift in emphasis from the content of education to its results, which should become transparent for the graduate himself, teachers and university administration, and for the employer. The employer must be aware of the success of a bachelor or master in education, his ability to apply his professional knowledge, skills in practice to determine the workplace and type of professional activity. The proposed method is a universal diagnostic tool, has the ability to adapt to any field of study in the higher education system, is easy to use, has the ability to be integrated into information system university.

Relevance. The need to talk about the problems of monitoring and assessing the levels of formation of key competencies among students pedagogical university relevant, since the content, methods and forms of organization of educational and cognitive activity of students are determined by the changes that occur in the field of higher education. First of all, we are talking about the introduction of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education, a draft professional standard. The requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education and the draft professional standard aim participants at changes in the directions in the educational process: in the methodological support of the educational process, in approaches to assessing the results of development educational programs, the content of the program material, stimulate the development of new methods and technologies of educational activities, forms of control over their implementation.

There is a regularity in the system of higher education: education system more conservative than the changes taking place in public life[ ; ]. There is a contradiction between the conservative "rating planning model" and the "competence model", which is identified with the condition for improving the professional training of students. At one extreme are quantitative indicators: class attendance, the number of tasks completed, at the other - the assessment of students' general cultural and professional competencies. It is obvious that quantitative indicators in the "rating planning model" inevitably crowd out innovations in education [ , p. 253].

In the ongoing discussion on the problems of assessing results in bachelor's education, let's define two opposite positions: supporters of the traditional assessment system based on quantitative indicators, argue pragmatically. So, in the article by O. O. Zamkov, A. A. Peresetsky, the relationship between the results of USE assessment and the academic success of undergraduate students is considered. The authors are convinced that testing assessment is most effective not only in school education, but also in student education [ , p. 98].

Proponents of the competency-based approach when assessing learning outcomes by qualitative indicators prove that the rating system of assessment is biased, since data is distorted during assessment [ , p. 254]. According to I. A. Denisova, M. A. Kartseva, university graduates turn out to be uncompetitive in their professional activities, which forces employers to increase the costs of finding qualified specialists or “finish their studies” at the workplace [ , p. 249]. M. Bagues, M. S. Labini, N. M. Zinovieva state that the differences in assessment standards at universities lead, on the one hand, to an uneven distribution of budget funds between universities, on the other hand, they mislead employers, since the final grades of graduates do not satisfy the demands of practice [ , p. 90].

In other words, for a complete picture of the quality of education of future specialists, quantitative indicators are clearly not enough. The existing traditional forms of assessment: oral survey (frontal, individual, pair, group), test, test, exam do not allow obtaining objective information about the results of the student's activity [ , p. 223].

In the new educational standards of the third generation of the PEP FSES 3+, three groups of requirements for the quality of education are formulated: for the structure of educational programs; the quality of the educational process; the quality of the results [ , p. 14−18]. It is known that the quality of education is understood as a complex characteristic of educational activities and training of students, expressing the degree of their compliance with federal state educational requirements and (or) the needs of an individual or legal entity in whose interests educational activities are carried out, as well as the degree of achievement of the planned results of the educational program.

In this aspect, N. L. Ivanova and N. P. Popova consider the issues of introducing innovations in the professional training of students, including changing the assessment of the quality of education, and, in particular, the quality of learning outcomes [ , p. 199]. The transition from the traditional system of assessing student learning outcomes, according to G. E. Volodina, A. V. Obolonskaya, T. A. Ratt, is a kind of challenge for the teacher, since he must turn from a source and translator of knowledge into a subject expert, into an expert on educational activities [ , p. fifty].

Pedagogical education (with two training profiles) (undergraduate level) aims the participants in the educational process to form competencies: graduates who have mastered the undergraduate program must have general cultural and professional competencies. Competences are understood as a set of knowledge and skills for improving professional actions, while they should be evaluated according to the results of work.

The future teacher has developed cognitive skills, communicative and reflective qualities, the ability to conduct research and creatively solve problems, plan and anticipate the results of pedagogical work [ , p. 225]. The increased interest in the formation of the research competence of the undergraduate student is due to the increased role of the creative, search component pedagogical activity. Possession of basic general cultural and professional competencies will allow specialists to quickly adapt to changing working conditions, master new technologies, retrain in a timely manner, and independently improve their professional level.

In this direction of professional training of a bachelor's student, means of evaluating learning outcomes that can reflect the personal educational movement. The assessment of the competencies of a bachelor's student cannot be reduced to the assessment of knowledge, skills and abilities. In addition to subject indicators, the quality of education is evidenced by communicative, reflexive, regulative, and personal results. In the professional activity of a teacher, a special role is given to such indicators as professional competence, creative organization of labor, the ability to use effective teaching methods that stimulate the cognitive activity of students, and their independence. Therefore, the system for evaluating the results of undergraduate students' learning is expanded with additional functions: carrying out current and final measurements of the integration of the results of educational activities; analysis of training indicators and comparison of these indicators with the requirements of standards; diagnosis of positive and negative factors.

The main task of evaluating the learning outcomes of undergraduate students is to objectively determine the level of students' knowledge of educational material [ , p. 212]. As a result of evaluation: 1) the quality of the teacher's work improves; 2) the expediency of expenses for planning the teaching load is achieved; 3) the analysis of pedagogical activity and its correction is carried out; 4) there is a receipt of personal information about students. Such a system for evaluating the learning outcomes of undergraduate students helps to stimulate learning activities, increases learning motivation, and aims at self-improvement.

One of the forms of assessing the learning outcomes of undergraduate students is pedagogical testing. This method has continuity: at the stage of schooling, pedagogical testing allows for an objective assessment in the final assessment of schoolchildren and is implemented through the Unified state exam(USE) [ , p. 105]; in teaching students pedagogical testing allows to measure the level of formation of knowledge, skills in academic disciplines. Varieties of pedagogical testing methods are C-tests, close tests, multiple choice test, dictation, interview[ , With. 52]. Close test is a pragmatic testing test based on the recovery technique (whole paragraphs are removed from the text). The C-test is based on the removal of the second half of every second word from the text, and the first half of the word serves as auxiliary material when filling in the gaps. The essence of the multiple choice test is the choice of an answer from the proposed options based on comparison or recognition. Dictation is a type of written testing, which is a method for assessing spelling literacy. Interview - a pragmatic test of communicative competence, is a direct verbal interaction between the teacher and the student.

Another form of assessing the learning outcomes of undergraduate students was rating score. The essence of the rating assessment is to sum up the grades received by the student at all stages of education. There are variations in the final grade. For example, the grade received by a student for each type of work is multiplied by a coefficient calculated according to the level of complexity of the exercises or types of work [ , p. 26−37].

Table 1 shows the scope of the academic discipline (Table 1).

Table 1

Criteria for evaluating students' progress according to the point system. For example, a fifty-point system for assessing the learning outcomes of undergraduate students is as follows:

41-50 points are given when the student freely applies knowledge in practice; does not make mistakes in the reproduction of the studied material; when performing the task, the student uses the data of both domestic authors and materials of foreign authors and conducts their comparative analysis;

31-40 points are given when the student knows all the studied material; able to apply the acquired knowledge in practice; does not make serious mistakes in the answers; when performing the task, the student uses the data of both domestic authors and materials of foreign authors and conducts their comparative analysis;

21-30 points are given when the student discovers mastering the basic material, but has difficulty in reproducing it independently; when completing a task, the student uses data only from domestic authors.

table 2

Thus, a system for evaluating the learning outcomes of undergraduate students based on summation is presented. The summation is based on a digital assessment, according to which a conclusion is given on the level of success of the student's education.

At present, the use of ITC in the professional training system has made it possible to organize the evaluation of the learning outcomes of undergraduate students in a remote form online. Modern technologies allowed the teacher to evaluate the learning outcomes of several students at the same time.

The new philosophy of education requires the training of highly qualified specialists with an analytical mindset and creative thinking. In terms of technology, such forms of education as "learning through cognitive activity", "learning through discovery", "learning through insight (enlightenment)" have appeared. In this regard, a new system for evaluating learning outcomes is being formed in the system of higher education, adequate to the process of developing the student's personality.

Let's introduce a new form of evaluation of learning outcomes of undergraduate students - formative assessment or an activity that requires student-teacher feedback. A feature of this form of assessment is the absence of a digital assessment. Feedback allows you to adapt the educational process to the needs of students, proceed from the personal trajectory of students' education. The purpose of the formative assessment of learning outcomes is not to make a verdict, but to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the student's potential. The teacher in this position is not an examiner, but a mentor, consultant, assistant. The position of the student in learning is changing - the transition from the goal (passing a test, tests, exam) to improving the learning process (expanding the cognitive sphere, discussing problematic issues, conducting experiments) [ , p. 270].

Let's use the example of the formation of professional competence PC-1 (Table 3).

We will present a variety of evaluative means of formative evaluation of learning outcomes using the example of the formation of professional competence PC-2.

Table 4 presents the Fund of evaluation tools for formative evaluation of learning outcomes on the example of the formation of professional competence PC-2 (Table 4).

The most appropriate form of learning for formative assessment is modular learning. Modular learning assumes that each section of the program material of the academic discipline is studied by the student with access to the result: the formation of a specific competence, the mastery of labor knowledge, skills, and actions. For each module of the academic discipline, the teacher developed the formulation of knowledge, skills and abilities to characterize the competencies acquired by the student [ , p. 47].

In the educational process of the university, moving from studying one module to another, students form specific competencies and labor functions, which allows, on the one hand, the teacher to control the process of mastering knowledge, skills, competencies, on the other hand, as a result of training, the level of competitiveness of graduates in the market is determined labor . In the course of control, the compliance of the result obtained with the level of knowledge, skills, competencies and the determination of the reasons in case of such a discrepancy are revealed. Based on the results of training in modular training, in case of discrepancy between the result obtained and the planned result, correction and selection of rational options for action are possible. In this case, the student will be able to independently analyze and make adjustments to their own learning activities, while using feedback from the teacher.

Following the logic of managerial decisions in managing and controlling the process and results of students' educational and cognitive activity, we note that the formative assessment of students' learning outcomes at a university meets the requirements for it. The levels of formation of key competencies are subject to assessment; there is a transition from the competencies of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education to labor functions based on the formation of knowledge, skills and actions through the correspondence of competencies and labor knowledge, skills and actions.

Rice. 1. Model for diagnosing key competencies of students in academic disciplines within the framework of modular training

The model for diagnosing the key competencies of students in academic disciplines within the framework of modular training is represented by the following components: educational program for the academic discipline; didactic units (modules); control (intermediate, final), which allows assessing the level of formation of key competencies among students and the knowledge, skills, skills of labor actions formed by the academic discipline (Fig. 1).

When studying the topics of each module, key competencies are formed, selected by the teacher, from the curriculum competencies matrix, which are assigned to the academic discipline. There is a transition from the competencies of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education to labor functions based on the formation of knowledge, skills and actions through the correspondence of competencies and labor knowledge, skills and actions. The assessment of the quality of student training for each module of the academic discipline is carried out on the basis of uniform measuring materials and uniform requirements for the basic level of their training at the university.

A student who has not mastered the educational material in a module, and therefore has not been able to form key competencies and work functions, studies another module in the next semester with other key competencies selected by the teacher from the curriculum competency matrix for this module. According to the results of the final control, which is the crown of each semester, either corrective measures are carried out, or an individual educational route is developed, or the content, methods and forms of organization of educational and cognitive activity of students are improved (Table 5).

Organization and research methods. At the Department of Physical Education and Life Safety of the State State Pedagogical Institute, theoretical testing of 3rd year students of 2016/2017 academic year was carried out. d. (n = 60) in the discipline "Theory and methods of teaching physical culture in elementary school" in order to identify their basic readiness for the implementation of physical culture competence PC-2; PC-4; PC-7 PLO GEF 3+.

The structure of the academic discipline consists of 3 modules. Mastering the content of educational material for each module of the academic discipline contributes to the formation of competence. The fund of evaluation tools of each module determines the level of competence formation among graduates.

PC-2 result: possesses knowledge, skills and abilities corresponding to the content of the academic discipline, and is ready to apply them in modern methods and technologies, including information technologies, to ensure the quality of the educational process at a specific educational level of a particular educational institution.

High level. Possesses knowledge, skills and abilities corresponding to the content of the academic discipline, and is ready to apply them in modern methods and technologies, including information technologies, to ensure the quality of the educational process.

Average level. Possesses knowledge, but not enough skills and abilities to implement them in modern methods and technologies, including information technologies, to ensure the quality of the educational process.

Low level. Experiences difficulties in applying knowledge, skills and implementation skills in modern methods and technologies, including information technologies, to ensure the quality of the educational process.

Result PC-4: applies and uses the capabilities of the educational environment, including information, to ensure the quality of the educational process for the formation of students' physical culture.

High level. Possesses the skills of work: applies and uses the possibilities of the educational environment, including information, to ensure the quality of the educational process for the formation of students' physical culture.

Average level. Insufficiently confidently applies knowledge, abilities and skills in using the educational environment, including information, to ensure the quality of the educational process for the formation of students' physical culture.

Low level. Does not possess work skills: applies and uses the possibilities of the educational environment, including information, to ensure the quality of the educational process for the formation of physical culture of students

Result PC-7: applies and uses knowledge to ensure the protection of life and health of students in the educational process and extracurricular activities.

High level. Possesses the skills and abilities to apply knowledge to ensure the protection of life and health of students in the educational process and extracurricular activities.

Average level. Insufficiently confident applies knowledge, abilities and skills in ensuring the protection of life and health of students in the educational process and extracurricular activities.

Low level. Does not own the basics of applying knowledge to ensure the protection of life and health of students in the educational process and extracurricular activities.

Results and its discussion. The results of theoretical testing to determine the level of competence PC-2; PC-4; PC-7 in 4th year students (n = 60) in 2014/2015 when the modular system was not used in the educational process: the content of the academic discipline aimed at the formation of a set of competencies among graduates. Analysis of indicators of the level of formed competencies among graduates revealed the following:

PC-2. A high level was noted in 20% (at p< 0,05) выпускников; средний - 65 % (при р < 0,05); низкий - 15 % (при р < 0,05);

PC-4. A high level was noted in 25% (at p< 0,05) выпускников; средний - 65 % (при р < 0,05); низкий - 10 % (при р < 0,05);

PC-7. A high level was noted in 25% (at p< 0,05) выпускников; средний - 65 % (при р < 0,05); низкий - 10 % (при р < 0,05).

Thus, the results of indicators of the level of formed competencies among graduates of the 2014/2015 academic year. d. testify to their insufficient preparedness for the implementation of general cultural competences of PC-2; PC-4; PC-7 PLO GEF 3+.

The results of testing were discussed at the Academic Council of the MSPI. As a result, a decision was made to adjust the content of academic disciplines at the Faculty of Pedagogy and Art Education:

1. Students of this faculty of the Pedagogical Institute mastered the content of the academic discipline as part of its division into modules, and the educational material for each module contributes to the formation of a certain competence among graduates.

In March 2017, the following competencies were monitored: PC-2; PC-4; PC-7 for 4th year students (n = 60) in the discipline "Theory and Methods of Teaching Mathematics in Primary School".

The results of the study revealed the following:

PC-2. A high level was noted in 50% (at p< 0,01) выпускников; средний - 45 % (при р < 0,01); низкий - 5 % (при р < 0,01);

PC-4. A high level was noted in 55% (at p< 0,01) выпускников; средний - 40 % (при р < 0,01); низкий - 5 % (при р < 0,01);

PC-7. A high level was noted in 55% (at p< 0,01) выпускников; средний - 60 % (при р < 0,01); низкий - 5 % (при р < 0,01).

Comparative analysis of indicators of the level of formed competencies: PC-2; PC-4; PC-7 among graduates revealed an increase in the level of:

PC-2. The high level increased by 30% (at p< 0,01); средний уровень сократился на 25 % (при р < 0,01); низкий уровень уменьшился на 10 % (при р < 0,01);

PC-4. The high level increased by 30% (at p< 0,01); средний уровень сократился на 25 % (при р < 0,01); низкий уровень уменьшился на 5 % (при р < 0,01);

PC-7. The high level increased by 30% (at p< 0,01); средний уровень сократился на 5 % (при р < 0,01); низкий уровень уменьшился на 5 % (при р < 0,01).

An analysis of the results of the level of competencies formed among graduates confirms the effectiveness of using modular training in the educational process of a pedagogical university, which made it possible to improve the quality of graduates' knowledge and form PC-2 competencies; PC-4; PC-7 PLO GEF 3+.

Considering these results from the standpoint of the prospects for the development of higher education, which is associated with online education, other new forms and methods of teaching, we note that the user will choose from a variety of programs and courses that are aimed at the formation of certain professional competencies. This is important for those who receive basic and second higher education, who are attending advanced training courses or who carry out professional retraining.

Conclusions. In our opinion, the implementation of a competency-based approach in the educational space of higher education will entail a new division of pedagogical work, in which each specialist will have a certain set of competencies suitable for performing functional duties. There is no need to hurry with the implementation of the professional standard of a teacher with a certain set of “universal” competencies, when the teacher is required to perform functions that are not characteristic of the profession. It is known, for example, that a novice teacher has a different range of competencies than his colleagues who design the educational system of the school, manage the project and educational and research activities of students.

It is specific competencies, and not a quantitative set of general cultural and professional competencies, as is currently practiced, that determine the quality of a specialist's work. Having a specific set of competencies, a specialist will be able to apply them to create new knowledge. Building a pragmatic image of a specialist involves solving three systemic tasks:

Ensuring that the qualifications of graduates meet the current and future requirements of the modern education system;

Integration of university resources for the development of the higher education system;

Quality control of personnel training.

In this regard, measures are proposed, the implementation of which will contribute to the solution of the tasks set - the introduction of interactive teaching methods, a system of continuous training of teaching staff, the creation of a system for monitoring and controlling the quality of education. The direction in educational work to increase the prestige of the teacher's work is singled out.

Modular training reflects the requirement of employers - representatives of the real sector of the economy for qualifications, the level of knowledge of university graduates, because this system is practice-oriented professional quality in the form of competencies aimed, regardless of the areas of training, at the formation of a new work culture. The advantages of modular training are seen in the fact that its content, teaching methods are aimed at self-realization, high creativity, and the ability to mobilize efforts on the part of the participants in the educational process. An effective mechanism for the formation of professional key competencies is interdisciplinarity - course participants choose various additional programs that the university offers to choose from. In this aspect, the principle of universitancy (“permeability of partitions between sciences”) of barrier-free learning in the sense of choosing alternative directions in learning contributes to the creative effect and the formation of new personal competencies.

In modular education, the evaluation criterion within the framework of the individual student rating does not dominate, it is aimed at stimulating collectivism, group cohesion. Students are immersed in the educational environment, in the subject of the program, course, they do not compete with each other, but learn to cooperate, negotiate, and jointly extract the necessary information for their professional activities.

The essence of modular learning is that the teacher is willing, able and able to design programs, courses and manage them, since this requires considerable effort. The author must have intuition, be able to predict the situation in terms of demand in the labor market for a particular professional competence and properly organize educational and other processes. This problem is organically combined with the system of stimulation and motivation, the interest of the teacher in the development and implementation of innovative educational programs.

The results obtained do not exhaust all aspects of the designated topic and open up prospects for further research on modular training in the field of higher education in pedagogical specialties.

METHODS OF ESTIMATION SKILLS OF STUDENTS IN HIGHER VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

Abstract: This article describes the main existing methods for estimating skills, the problems implementing competence – based approach.

Keywords: assessment of student’s competencies, level to build skills, state educational and professional standards,

In connection with the transition to a two-level education system, federal state educational standards put forward new requirements for the student and graduate as a whole. If earlier assessment took place when testing knowledge, skills and abilities (KAS), now it is required to assess both general and professional competencies, i.e. in addition to theoretical knowledge, students must show the application of their skills in a given situation.

In the new educational standards of the third generation, the concept of competence comes to the fore as a concept of developing not only knowledge, skills and abilities, but also the development of abilities for their application. Competencies are understood as a set of professional, social, personal characteristics that determine the ability to effectively perform activities in a particular area, confidently using their knowledge and skills.

To determine the level of formation of the competencies of a student who has undergone appropriate training, the following methods and approaches have now been developed.

This method consists in the fact that all educational material is divided into logically completed modules (blocks), after studying each, a certain number of points is set. The modular rating system allows you to evaluate the individual capabilities of students: activity, originality in finding solutions, dedication, etc. Points are made up of compulsory types of work: laboratory, practical, homework individual works, independent, control work, as well as additional ones at the choice of the student - this is participation in olympiads, in conferences, in the student's research work, etc. When working on a module-rating system, it is possible to evaluate students without exams and tests.

With the introduction of the competency-based approach, the modular-rating system is used to assess the educational competencies of students, carrying out continuous monitoring of the assimilation of educational material and increasing the objectivity of quality assessment academic work students as teachers.

Case is a method.

Its name comes from English word"case" - a folder, a portfolio, at the same time can be translated as a method of specific situations, a method of situational analysis. The method consists in the use by the teacher of situations, problems, the purpose of which is the knowledge acquired as a result of active and creative work. Students independently find a solution to the problem by comparing factors (different points of view), put forward different hypotheses, draw conclusions and conclusions. For example: The distribution of trading firms by the size of the monthly turnover is characterized by the following data:

Trade turnover, million rubles

Up to5

5 – 10

10 – 15

15 – 20

20 – 25

25 or more

Total

Number of firms

100

Determine: the average size of the monthly turnover per firm, the modal and median value of the monthly turnover, draw conclusions about the nature of this distribution.

Thus, students learn to solve situational problems that are close to reality.

portfolio method.

Portfolio is a complex of individual educational achievements of students. They may contain the results of control cuts, certificates of participation in olympiads, conferences, as well as the most significant works and feedback on them. At the same time, it is important that the student himself chooses and decides what exactly will be included in his portfolio, that is, he develops the skills to evaluate his own achievements.

Method of developing cooperation.

The purpose of this method is to combine efforts to solve the task, problem. If in the above methods, the emphasis is mainly on the individual qualities of the student, his achievements and the ability to behave in different situations, then with developing cooperation, the formulated tasks cannot be solved alone, therefore, collective thinking is necessary, with the distribution of internal roles in the group.

The main methods of this teaching method are:

Individual, then pair, group, collective promotion of goals;

Collective planning of educational work;

Collective implementation of the plan;

Designing models of educational material;

Designing a plan of their own activities; independent selection of information, educational material;

Game forms of organization of the learning process.

This method is also called - a collective way of learning or a democratic system of learning by ability, the author of which isV.K.Dyachenko. According to this method, students are divided into groups of 5-8 people. Creative groups can be permanent and temporary. After each group proposes their solution to the problem, a discussion begins with the whole group to identify the true solution. Using this method in practice, students learn to work in a team, learn the ability to listen, draw conclusions.

Standardized pedagogical tests.

A big step has been taken in this direction. Currently, testing is used not only as a test of the educational module of the program, but also at a more advanced level. With the introduction of a competency-based approach, testing is carried out in order to determine the quality of training and education in the whole university, an example is federal testing (FEPO).

The new test theory is based on mathematical models that give the most objective test results.

Basic mathematical models:

Two-parameter Birnbaum model;

Three-parameter Birnbaum model;

Rush model

Wheres - the level of preparedness of the test participant
,

t - the level of difficulty of the test taskt
,

- Probability of completing the task correctly.

In practice, more often used

Since the Rasch model describes the probability of success of the subject as a function of one parameter, it is sometimes called a one-parameter model.

Currently, in the implementation of the competency-based approach and the creation of a system for assessing the competencies of HPE students, there are problems that are determined by the following factors:

Most of the teaching staff do not want to change anything, they work, as they say, "the old fashioned way", do not seek to master innovative teaching technologies, accompanied by a modular organization of the educational process (rating system, loans);

There is no unified system for assessing competencies;

There is no general methodological support (programs, educational and methodological complexes, etc.);

There is no interaction between universities and employers (there is no single graduate model).

Assessing the level of mastering the competencies of students and graduates requires the creation of a new innovative technology for assessing the totality of knowledge acquired by students and the social and personal characteristics that form their competencies. In the context of the development of innovative approaches to the design of assessment tools for quality control of university graduates' competencies, a number of researchers [4] proposes to formulate the methodological foundations of this design and build a general model for a comparative assessment of the quality of training. This model may include the following structural components: assessment objects and their subject areas; assessment bases (quality standards - systems of requirements); evaluation criteria (as signs of the degree of compliance with established requirements, norms, standards); subjects of assessment (students, teachers, experts of various commissions); means and technologies (procedures) of evaluation.

This article is devoted to the problem of educational and cognitive competencies as a factor in the formation of students' supradisciplinary professional competencies. The publication is an analysis of educational and cognitive competencies that should be formed in students for successful education at the university and further professional activities. The study implements an approach to the study of educational and cognitive competencies as an integrated property of those structures of mental, subjective and educational and cognitive experience in which they manifest themselves. Taking into account the formation of the elements of mental, subjective and educational-cognitive experience and the results of significant correlation relationships (r) and significant differences (according to the U Mann Whitney criteria and Fisher's angular transformation) between the diagnostic indicators of successful and unsuccessful students in educational activities, a high degree of formation of such competencies was obtained. educational and cognitive activity, such as structuring knowledge, situationally adequate updating of knowledge, expanding the increment of accumulated knowledge, personal and subject reflection, self-regulation, self-development, and others.

The purpose of this article is to show the theoretically substantiated psychological and pedagogical possibility of the integral development of the educational and cognitive competence of students as an integrated property of intellectual and personal structures for the formation of professional competencies in the process of their preparation. The article focuses on the actualization of educational and cognitive competencies in educational and cognitive experience as a special layer of integral experience, which, under certain conditions, is integrated with subjective and mental experience in the process of educational and cognitive activity. Educational and cognitive competencies are understood by us as the ability of a person to cognitive activity of such a qualitative level, at which she acquires not only new knowledge and skills corresponding to them, but also an understanding of the object of knowledge arises, which provides a qualitatively new - integrated result of educational and cognitive activity.

Thus, it is possible to predict the development of professional competencies, manifested in a holistic experience in solving cognitive and other problems.

The contradiction between the need to develop the educational and cognitive competencies of students and the predominance in the process of their preparation, mainly of attention to classroom activities, and not to the organization of independent and research activities, which limits the possibilities, conditions for self-realization of students in the process of professional training, determined the problem of this research.

The sample consisted of 81 people - students of 2-3 courses. Of these, 35 people were included in the group with low academic performance (unsuccessful), 46 people - in the group with high academic performance (successful). The description of educational and cognitive competencies in integration-differential unity with subjective, mental and educational-cognitive experience as components of the cognitive triad of nested forms of experience determined the choice of methods and research methods: “Comparison of similar drawings” by J. Kagan (cognitive style); "Ideal computer" M.A. Cold (cognitive position); “Problem Formulation” by M.A. Cold (conceptual experience); "Designing the World" E.Yu. Savina (ability to predict changes in conditions); diagnostics of reflexivity A.V. Karpov; "Style of self-regulation of behavior" (V.I. Morosanova); "Reflexive self-assessment in educational activity" I.A. Kibalchenko; correlation method; Mann Whitney U test; Fisher's angular transformation.

Research results and discussion

Theoretically, educational and cognitive competencies ensure the development of experience, without which it is impossible to form other types of competencies in students, including professional ones. In the process of theoretical analysis, competencies (cognitive activity, self-improvement, integration) were identified by expert means, the totality of which reflects the integration of the student's mental, subjective and educational-cognitive experience in educational activities. In turn, conceptual and metacognitive experience, being the basis of professional competence, acts as a link between educational and cognitive competence and professional competence.

We are not talking about "narrow competence", which consists in the degree of assimilation of some special knowledge, but "broad competence" - educational and cognitive. If we consider it within the framework of the educational process and beyond, then we can talk about the possibility of forming "supra-disciplinary professional competence" .

We assumed that in the educational and cognitive experience of students who are successful in educational activities, in comparison with unsuccessful students, the competencies of cognitive activity, self-improvement, as well as signs of integration of the characteristics of subjective experience, educational, cognitive and mental as the basis of professional competence, will be manifested to a greater extent. . Confirmation of the hypothesis will give grounds to use educational and cognitive competencies as a means of developing students as future professionals.

Let us bring the results of the study in line with those studied, manifested in the characteristics of educational-cognitive, subjective and mental forms of students' experience.

Analysis of the manifestation of educational and cognitive competencies in mental experience.

When studying cognitive styles as ways of conscious control of one's own intellectual behavior (planning, forecasting, evaluation, self-learning strategy, etc.), according to the method of J. Kagan, the results were obtained, which, in the initial statistical calculations using the Mann Whitney U criterion, showed no differences. They were not found either in the response time spent by groups of students with high and low progress to complete tasks, or in the types of cognitive styles of students. This is due to the fact that the types of all cognitive styles (reflective, impulsive, fast accurate and slow inaccurate) are present in these groups to varying degrees, but theoretically, students with high academic performance should be dominated by such cognitive styles as reflective and fast accurate. At the same time, further statistical analysis showed that there are significant differences in the number of mistakes made by successful students and unsuccessful students. Thus, students who are unsuccessful in their educational activities commit more errors in decision-making than successful ones (U=152.5; p=0.03). This is explained by the fact that the majority of students who are unsuccessful in their educational activities tend to have an unproductive impulsive style of intellectual response, and the majority of successful students tend to a productive reflective one. To refine the results obtained, the Fisher angular transformation was used. We found that students with low academic performance significantly differ in impulsive style (φ* =1.79 at p≤0.03) from students with high academic performance, who more often use reflective cognitive style (φ* =3.63 at p≤0.00) and fast accurate (φ* =2.601 at р≤0.00).

That is, successful students are still inclined to a more thorough analysis of information, putting forward and testing hypotheses when making a decision. Such results among successful students may indicate some differences in comparison with unsuccessful students in such educational and cognitive competencies as productive cognition.

The absence of differences in the use of slow inaccurate cognitive style (φ* =0.562 - no differences) by students of both groups determines the perspective of the study.

According to the "Ideal Computer" methodology, aimed at studying the cognitive position as a component of the students' metacognitive experience in the mental structure, it was shown that 51% of successful students, 47% of unsuccessful students have an open cognitive position, the rest have a closed one. That is, almost half of the students' knowledge is directed not only to themselves, but also to the world, they strive to comprehend the world holistically, objectively, in generalized categories. This also points to the shortcomings in the formation of cognitive activity competencies among unsuccessful students, which can be explained by the shortcomings in the formation of their open cognitive position in relation to the knowledge gained.

At the same time, there are no differences in the total number of questions asked by students with different learning success according to the “Problem Formulation” method. However, significant differences were found in that successful students, unlike unsuccessful ones, tend to ask categorical questions related to the purpose of a person in this world (U=200; p=0.04).

Consequently, students who are successful in their learning activities tend to operate with generalized categories, while unsuccessful students comprehend the world in specific terms.

When using the "World Construction" methodology, aimed at studying the ability of students to predict changes in conditions that differ from real ones, it was shown that the "worlds" constructed by successful students, unlike unsuccessful students, offer significantly more aspects in the unreal world (U=155 .5; p=0.01). Also, academically successful students are able to justify the existence of a particular world from the position of knowledge acquired in the process of professional training, compared with unsuccessful students (U=159; p=0.02). These data indicate that successful students, compared with unsuccessful students, have a greater cognitive readiness to think about such paradoxical phenomena in life and professional activity.

Consequently, such intellectual activity in the form of predicting an “impossible situation” is a property of the formed educational and cognitive competencies based on conceptual knowledge among students who are successful in educational activities. Such activity reflects the creative skills of productive activity in general. The study of the characteristics of conceptual experience in the structure of the mental experience of students showed that all students are capable of generating ideas, but it is carried out at different levels according to the degree of generalization. Thus, successful students, in comparison with students who are unsuccessful in their educational activities (U=253; p=0.02), formulate complex problems at a more generalized level, moreover, in the context of professional situations. This indicates the manifestation of such self-improvement competencies as language and speech development, which are necessary both in educational and professional activities.

The study of emotional-evaluative impressions, as components of conceptual experience (and it, in turn, is the basis of the entire experience of students as a whole), revealed a decrease in the intensity of sensory-sensory impressions in the group of students who were unsuccessful in educational activities compared to successful ones (U=174.5; p = 0.04), which means a decrease in the efficiency of representation of concepts, as well as a minimum measure of differentiation of emotional and evaluative impressions in educational activities.

Successful students in their educational activities, on the contrary, have the maximum degree of differentiation of emotional and evaluative impressions, which is expressed in their use of a larger number of relevant scales to describe the task, including both educational and professional contexts. In addition, successful students have sufficient intensity of emotional and evaluative impressions and sufficient involvement in the task for an effective and objective presentation of the content of the concept.

Thus, in the characteristics of mental experience, students who are successful in educational activities show self-improvement competencies to a greater extent, that is, educational and cognitive competencies in conjunction with professional ones.

Analysis of the manifestation of educational and cognitive competencies in subjective experience.

Academically successful students are distinguished by the fact that with an average and high level of reflexivity (according to the method of A.V. Karpov), they adequately assess their knowledge, self-regulation skills, and cognitive interest, which guide them while completing the learning process. This is confirmed by the presence of a significant correlation between the level of reflexivity and reflective self-esteem in successful students (r s =0.4 at p=0.003). The result obtained indicates the manifestations of self-improvement competencies (personal and subject reflection) in academically successful students.

At the same time, 41% of successful students and 29% of unsuccessful students are characterized by an internal type of control. That is, a greater number of successful students carry out high subjective control over their educational and cognitive and other activities. They tend to believe that most of the events taking place in their lives are the result of their own actions, that they can control these actions, they feel their own responsibility for their activities and life in general. High achievers (94%) differ from low achievers (26%) in that they significantly improve (φ* = 7.7, p ≤ 0.00) in the use of regulatory mental functions. The number of reflection errors among students with poor academic performance explains the reproductive position in educational activities and the underestimation of their actions and prospects.

In addition, they have formed such competencies of self-improvement, self-development and integration as self-control skills, the ability to track each of their actions, structuring knowledge, situationally appropriate updating of knowledge, and expanding the increment of accumulated knowledge. That is, on the basis of the formed educational and cognitive competencies, they are able to choose a certain way of action that will help to integrate the new knowledge gained into the existing system of ideas and experience.

Analysis of the manifestation of educational and cognitive competencies in educational and cognitive experience. When studying reflexive self-assessment as an element of the reflexive-evaluative component of educational and cognitive experience (according to the method of Kibalchenko I.A.), it was found that successful students significantly more often demonstrate the formation of competencies of educational and cognitive activity (φ*emp.=5.012, р≤0.00), self-improvement and self-regulation (φ*emp. = 2.79, p ≤ 0.00). But this effect is not observed in all students. These data are consistent with the presence of a correlation between the characteristics of mental experience and the level of reflexivity as a characteristic of subjective experience (rs = 0.5; p = 0.002), which reflects in successful students the signs of integration of three forms of experience, educational and cognitive competencies and gives reason consider them as a means of developing professional competencies.

Conclusions and conclusion

In the course of the study, it was found that successful students in educational activities, unlike unsuccessful ones, have more educational and cognitive competencies, which are demonstrated by students in such forms of experience as educational, cognitive, mental and subjective.

In the subjective experience in this group, self-control competencies, the ability to track each of their actions, personal and subject reflection are formed.

In the mental experience, the competencies of structuring knowledge, situationally adequate updating of knowledge, expanding the increment of accumulated knowledge, language and speech development, creativity and productivity.

In the educational and cognitive experience, competencies are formed in the form of a reflective self-assessment of educational activity as the ability of students to move into a position of self-awareness, a reflective reflection of oneself and others, which, it must be taken into account, “grows” from reflexivity and a reflexive cognitive style as characteristics of the subjective and mental experience of students.

In a group of successful students, three forms of experience form an integrated unity - a cognitive triad of experience, which, on the one hand, reflects the formation and integration of the characteristics of educational and cognitive competencies (competencies of cognitive activity, self-development and integration), on the other hand, - high level development, consistency and nesting of educational and cognitive, mental and subjective experience, their adequate reflection and integration. In other words, academically successful students have formed educational and cognitive competencies to transform existing forms of experience (cognitive, mental, subjective, etc.) into a qualitatively new experience (including professional) at the level of value-semantic acceptance, self-improvement and self-development in the learning process. - cognitive activity.

Based on the formed educational and cognitive competencies, students can consciously carry out educational and cognitive activities, are able to choose a certain way of action that will not only lead to the desired result, but also help to integrate new knowledge gained into the existing system of ideas about future professional activities. They are capable of reflective self-assessment of cognitive activity, as a result of which not only co-directed knowledge and skills are formed, but also an understanding of the object of knowledge, semantic orientations, etc.

In this regard, students are ready and able to build the image and methods of the upcoming professional activity, reflect, understand and control the process of cognition.

The study showed that the study and formation of educational and cognitive competencies lies in the fact that they are the determinant of the transformation of professional competencies. From the standpoint of the study, the formation of educational and cognitive competence must be carried out in conjunction with educational and cognitive, mental and subjective experience as a cognitive triad of the subject's experience not only of educational and cognitive, but also of professional activity.

The results of the study can become the basis both for the development of the theory of the competence-based approach in pedagogy and the formation of a holistic experience of the individual, and in practical terms for improving the preparation of the student as a competent professional, ready and capable of self-management, self-development, self-improvement.

Assessment of general competencies of students

methodologist of the Cheboksary Electromechanical College

One of the key issues that arises in connection with the transition to a competency-based approach in education is the assessment tool. To determine the level of formation of students' competencies, it is quite suitable project work, business game, individual analysis of specific situations (when the student is asked to choose a certain strategy and tactics of action in the proposed situation), as well as expert observations.

The main difficulty in assessing the level of competence formation is the observance of the principle of objectivity. In order to comply with this principle and get away from the human factor, it is necessary to place the so-called "beacons" corresponding to each specific competence. And in the process of assessment, the existing level of each student is compared with these “beacons”. But it should be noted that, again, these "beacons" may have a certain touch of subjectivity, and therefore they can only be used as a guide.

It is advisable to use a diagnostic interview, which should help clarify the unclear points of the assessment. Students can be offered to conduct a self-assessment of the level of competence formation. Let's consider this using the example of the general competence of OK 6 “Work in a team and team, ensure its cohesion, communicate effectively with colleagues, management, consumers” (FSES SVE), related to the field of social interaction.

Among the main indicators by which we can judge the level of formation of this competence among students, we can single out the following: establishes and maintains good relations with fellow students and teachers; shares his knowledge and experience to help others; listens to the opinion of fellow students and teachers and recognizes their knowledge and skills; actively contributes to the work of others. For each indicator, we formulate three statements: “I do it rarely or never”, “I do it quite often”, “I always do it in any situations”. Each statement corresponds to a certain level of trait formation (a low level is estimated at 1 point, an average level - at 2 points, a high level - at 3 points). Therefore, for self-assessment of competence, students are offered to choose one option out of three statements for each main indicator of competence, and then, based on the answers received, we find the average value, which will be a self-assessment of the level of competence formation.

The data obtained through self-assessment will help to provide a complete picture for some students in the case when there are not enough materials to determine the level of competency formation.

The existing system of assessing students' knowledge provides a clear picture of their progress, but does not allow assessing their personal characteristics. It is the curators of student groups, who communicate directly with students and know each of them individually, can carry out such a diagnosis. At the same time, curators can determine the students' motivation for learning, their leadership qualities, and relationships within the group. However, often a student's assessment is based on academic performance. Even if the reports of the curators on the work done contain information on each student individually, then this information is not always conveyed to teachers at the beginning of training. Teachers are forced to determine the style of communication with students themselves (without prior knowledge). In this regard, I consider it appropriate to bring the data obtained on the level of formation of competencies among students to subject teachers. This will allow you to determine how effective the teaching methods used are, and whether it is worth making certain adjustments to the teaching technology.

When assessing the competencies of students, it makes sense to rank the competencies in terms of their importance for employers - social partners, who should be involved in the assessment (for example, during the industrial practice), since the process of assessing competencies requires the participation of not only teachers, but also third-party experts (ideally, the HR manager of the employing company). Only then can the results obtained be truly objective.

It should also be noted that when assessing competencies, it is mandatory Feedback, i.e. providing the student with a detailed review of the work performed by him, indicating the strengths and weaknesses, as well as specific recommendations. Properly organized feedback can become an additional motivational factor for further education and development of the student within the chosen specialty.

The assessment of the level of formation of the student's competencies gives an answer to the question: why does the student manifest himself in this way and show such results? Based on the estimates obtained, we can determine the size of the gap between the actual level of competence formation and the expected one, which will allow us to see a phased development plan for each student, the dynamics of this development, and also assess which issues (competencies) should be worked on in the future.
