A Model of the Test Technology of Teaching: Theoretical and Applied Aspects

Abstract

The aim of this article is to reveal the results of studying the theoretical and applied aspects of the test technology of teaching: to structure the technological cycle, develop a model of the test technology of teaching, reveal the ways of optimisation of the educational process using the test technology. The conducted research shows that using test technologies of teaching significantly increases the qualitative indicators of mastering the material because of the motivational component, objectivity of evaluation, psychological comfort and elements of gamification. It has been determined that the efficiency of its implementation is affected by such aspects as compliance with the technological cycle, balancing the level of difficulty of test tasks by the difficulty index (Is), selection of the strategy for task placement, correctness of distractor creation, establishment of optimal quantitative and temporal characteristics of the test, the evaluation system, synchronous or asynchronous interaction between a teacher and students.
