The use of professionally directed test tasks for modular control of students knowledge in the study of general physics course

Sergiy Kolinko, Tetyana Butenko, А. Kulyk

Abstract

Problematic issues associated with the evaluation of students' knowledge in the study of general physics course are considered. It is found that the test allows to evaluate the level of theoretical knowledge of students and their practical skills qualitatively and quickly. The peculiarity of this form of control consists in the objectivity, a small loss of time and students' independence. Didactic support of students' knowledge evaluation in general, and in the study of physics, in particular, is an area of work that requires constant development and improvement. The technique of modular control of knowledge and skills of engineering students in the study of "General Physics" discipline is presented. It is based on the application of test technology. Test form of modular control realization can effectively control the current progress of students, analyze and adjust educational efforts of the teacher. A student, on results control, can really estimate the level of knowledge and correct the further educational work. Further studies are to improve didactic and methodological support of the developed test control of knowledge and abilities of students
