Meta-Subject Olympiad For Development And Diagnostics Of Students’ Global Competencies

Abstract

In a dynamically developing society, scientists and practical teachers focus on the issues of the formation and development of global competency in students as new educational results. Among them, one of the main issues is conditions for the development of global competencies, in particular, such universal skills as awareness of global problems, understanding of their impact on problems at the regional and local levels; ability to interact effectively with other people; communication skills; ability to think critically. In this respect, it is required to search for new tools, conditions, and tools for diagnosing students’ global competencies. The article defines the potential of one of the forms of extracurricular activities, the Meta-Subject Olympiad, as conditions for the development and diagnostics of students’ global competency. Criteria of the global competence formation are defined. An integrated method for assessing the results of the global competencies formation of students, based on a combination of expert assessments and self-assessments is proposed. The approach to the project tasks setting of Meta-Subject content as means of diagnosing global competencies, in the conditions of the Olympiad, is described. The article presents an experimental confirmation of the effectiveness of the presented Meta-Subject Olympiad as a condition for the development and diagnostics of global competencies of students. On the basis of the data obtained, the practicability of using Meta-Subject Olympiads for the development of global competencies of students is disclosed.
