Abstract

The methodology of use, organization and content of computer testing for a final control of knowledge on Physics course is given in the article. Since in the conditions of intensive computerization of modern higher education, computer testing is increasingly chosen as a means of diagnosing educational achievements. Therefore, at the present stage of the education development, with the transition to student-centered learning, arises a need for test control at all stages of education. An active approach involves an organic combination in tests of developing and controlling functions and the use of so-called educational control. Moreover, with the introduction of the Unified National Testing, it became necessary to prepare students for a new test control form and more broadly – to motivate a student to succeed, deliver him from fear of examinations, to create a comfortable environment. The article substantiates the importance of using computer testing in an educational process. In the educational process, tests are of great importance, as well as by the results of their execution it is possible to judge not only about the level of knowledge, but also about the degree of development of some personal qualities, about the success or failure of a certain stage of training for the whole group or individual students. Tests suggest that a user has a certain amount of information, so they are most often used as a control method for fixing or repeating material. In this regard, tests for students are given a special place. They should be focused not only on solving educational problems, but also on teaching the student how to work with test, accumulating his experience in completing test tasks, developing the ability to control himself, find and correct his own mistakes. A use of test control performs several functions, among them a diagnostic function, which stands out as an independent one. It consists in the fact that the teacher can not only monitor the level of knowledge and skills of students, but also find out the causes of the gaps found, then to eliminate them. The advantages of computer testing over other forms of control are also considered. Some examples from the contents of test items are given. Their compliance with regulatory and criteria-oriented requirements in the development of tests. Rules for the development of tasks in a test form; basic mathematical and statistical methods for processing test results, methods for developing components and elements of resource support for testing learning outcomes. The article also presents the criteria for evaluating tests. The purpose of the tests to assess the level of thinking development, ability to apply knowledge to solve practical problems, as well as the ability to analyze the causes and results of certain physical phenomena are indicated. The article presents some results and analysis of the results of a pedagogical experiment on implementation of this methodology, carried out at the Department of General Scientific Disciplines of the Academy of Civil Aviation. The dynamics of growth in student academic performance by semester is shown in the table and the diagram.
