Abstract

In the context of digitalization and distance (or blended) learning, the problem of ensuring high-quality formative assessment during the study of higher mathematics is relevant. Specifically, when studying the integral calculus of a single variable function, there is a need for digital tools that are adapted to the correct display of mathematical symbols, formulas, graphs, etc., and the level of digital skills development of first-year students. The aim of the article is the theoretical substantiation and empirical establishment of the functional capabilities of Google apps (Classroom, Docs, Sheets, Forms) for the implementation of formative assessment strategies (according to Black and Wiliam) and the study of the complex impact of these services on students' self-efficacy. The expert evaluation method was used to establish the correspondence of Google apps to each of the strategies, with consistency confirmed by Kendall's W and Friedman’s tests. It is established that Google Classroom is effective for implementing three of the five strategies (formulation of goals, self- and peer-assessment), and Google Forms is effective for operative data collection on learning and providing feedback. It is statistically established that the systematic and complex application of Google apps for formative assessment during the study of integral calculus of a single variable function contributes to a statistically significant increase in the level of students' self-efficacy (Wilcoxon signed-rank test). The article substantiates the feasibility of the comprehensive and systematic application of Google apps for formative assessment during the study of integral calculus of a single variable function. The obtained results can be used by higher education institution (HEI) lecturers for the reasoned selection of Google apps, taking into account specific formative assessment strategies, the specifics of the study material, and the level of digital skills of students.
