Abstract

Relevance. The issue of enhanced quality of professional junior bachelors training provides for a significant improvement in the control of student learning outcomes as an important means of educational process management. By means of pedagogical control, it is possible to discover the level of knowledge of graduates and obtain information about the state of students' knowledge in the educational process. The systematic feedback is provided through monitoring that enables to create an adaptive competence-oriented training program and in a timely manner correct activities of teachers and students in the educational process. Test control of knowledge as a method of measurement and assessment of knowledge, abilities and skills of a student most fully meets the requirements of legislation in the field of education to ensure relevance, transparency, reliability and objectivity of assessment of learning outcomes. The purpose of this article is to highlight the methods of approbation of test tasks and analyze their quality for non-standardized tests. Methods: of the theoretical analysis - to study existing approaches to the methodology of test development, test tasks and quality control of test tasks; expert evaluation - to determine the correct wording of test tasks and accuracy of the questions, time limit for fulfilling test tasks; approbation (pilot test) - to test the developed tools; Pearson correlation coefficient - to determine the correlation coefficient of task scores with the test total score. Results: the concepts "test" and "test control" were defined, and the difference between standardized and non-standardized tests was determined, the specifics of expert evaluation of test effectiveness and its verification in the educational process in the context of trial testing was described, the algorithm for analysis of the test quality was revealed, the main indicators for selection of tasks for non-standardized tests and their calculation were singled out. Conclusions. The article deals with approbation of non-standardized tests, their expert checks for correctness of the wording of the task, the accuracy of the wording of the questions, conditions for the implementation of trial testing; criteria for the selection of test tasks: the complexity potential; the variance of scores; the correlation coefficient of the task scores with the total test score. The further research will be focused on conducting a special experiment to create standardized tests, namely: check for reliability and validity based on a representative sample.
