Application of the criteria-based assessment system to the tasks of developing the functional literacy of students in teaching chemistry

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to modernize the educational process and the knowledge assessment system for students who study inorganic chemistry. Ways to modernize the current knowledge monitoring system were implemented by creating test tasks with a gradual increase in complexity, the so-called "three-dimensional model"of learning. As subjects for studying the practical application of this approach, 12 students were selected. The experiment took place as part of the study of the course of inorganic chemistry, which comprised 6 topics. At the same time, a holistic concept of knowledge assessment was selected, which maximally excluded any bias on the part of the assessor. Such reforms will help the state to train more specialists who will be able to compete with experts from all over the world, in particular engineers and technologists. All this testifies not only to the expediency of using a combination of these methods for teaching students of the Republic of Kazakhstan, but also to the need for further reform of outdated educational programs not only at the level of one higher educational institution, but also on a global scale.
