Dynamic adaptive audio training tests as a means of monitoring bilingual education

Abstract

The article discusses the conditions for the use of computerized dynamic adaptive tests to provide developing training and monitoring in the field of foreign language education. Dynamic adaptive test simulators used as a tool for personalizing and monitoring foreign language education are still insufficiently represented in the educational practice of the Russian Federation. The authors of the article offer recommendations on the use of dynamic adaptive audio test simulators for monitoring foreign language education. As indicators of monitoring, the parameters characterizing the learning ability of students are considered: feedback coefficient; the complexity and time pace of learning activities of students of a foreign language.The purpose of the article is to present authors’ recommendations on the implementation of dynamic adaptive audio test simulators based on evaluative feedback in the field of foreign language education, providing for monitoring the quality of bilingual education based on the integration of individualized learning and dynamic adaptive testing of educational activities.The research methodology is an analysis of the use of existing dynamic adaptive test simulators in the field of foreign language education; studying the results of interdisciplinary studies of domestic and foreign scientists on the creation and use of dynamic adaptive tests for the learning process as a whole and the creation of dynamic adaptive tests for foreign education in particular; analysis and generalization of the author’s experience of using dynamic adaptive audio tests simulators as a tool for monitoring educational activities in the field of foreign language education.Results of the reseach are: authors developed computerized dynamic adaptive audio test simulators based on evaluative feedback in the field of foreign language education; indicators of monitoring the learning process in the field of foreign language education are identified, including the total feedback coefficient, actiograms, time pace and laboriousness; testing was carried out and recommendations were given for the use of dynamic adaptive audio test simulators for monitoring educational activities in the field of foreign language education.Analyzing the results of testing dynamic adaptive audio test simulators in a foreign language, the authors conclude that their use in practice implements personalized dynamic monitoring of the process of teaching foreign languages, thereby improving the quality of teaching foreign languages. Dynamic adaptive audio test simulators can provide monitoring of the dynamics of the process of teaching native and foreign languages.
