Abstract

One of the topical problems of modern pedagogical theory and practice is the search for new approaches to checking the outcomes of educational and cognitive activity of school students in the context of the competence-based approach. It is impossible to implement into school practice the competence-based approach, one of the main elements of the New Ukrainian school, without making adequate changes to the assessment and measurement of students' knowledge. Properly organized checking allows setting the level and quality of learning, carry out their correction, if necessary, assess the process and outcomes of student learning and cognitive activity, and determine ways to improve it. Introducing in primary school an objective assessment of student academic achievement in accordance with the requirements of the New Ukrainian school requires updated approaches to their control. In this regard, the author of the article identified and characterized modern approaches to checking the learning outcomes of primary school students in foreign languages in the context of a competence-based approach; defined and characterized the main functions, forms and types of checking primary school student learning outcomes. Taking into account the requirements of new regulations on education, the author identified the objects of checking foreign communication competence and its components: speech, linguistic and sociolinguistic competences. The objects of checking speech and linguistic competences are corresponding speech know and skills, ability and readiness to learn a foreign language. The objects of checking sociolinguistic competence are corresponding knowledge and ability to use speech realities (samples) in the process of communication, special rules of speech behaviour, which are typical for the country of study. The author sees the prospect of her further research in the study of test control on the lessons of a foreign language in primary school in accordance with the requirements of the New Ukrainian school.
