Student-oriented approach in education has received a comprehensive description in numerous works of Russian and foreign researchers and continues to evolve rapidly. The implementation of student-oriented approach, the information and methodological support of students throughout the training period are the most effective when used of electronic information-educational environment of high school. The purpose of this article is to analyze the possibilities of using electronic information-educational university environment of university for the formation of an e-portfolio of achievements. The following methods were used during the research: analysis of the scientific literature on the issue of research, experimental teaching, questioning. Long-term researches in the field of quality and competence-oriented approach to education, which are conducted by the authors, allowed to develop and test two approaches to the formation of a student’s e-portfolio: by learning outcomes or by type of activity. This paper will present the structure of student’s e-portfolio, a brief description of its elements, as well as experience of creating e-portfolios by students of the Pskov State University. We share the view that the e-portfolio is an expression of qualitative and multi-level assessment of competencies, measuring individual progress of students, self-presentation for employers. The formation of an e-portfolio contributes to the implementation of student-oriented approach, it’s an important element of the competence-oriented approach to education. Electronic information-educational university environment of university allows to realize all this.
Monitoring the quality of students’ mastering educational programs is an important component of the educational process. Monitoring achieved learning outcomes is the collection, processing and analysis of competence level data in order to make management decisions in the field of education quality. Currently in Russia there are not enough scientifically based methods for assessing and monitoring students' competences.The staff of the Laboratory of quality problems in higher education at Pskov State University has been conducting research in the field of assessment and monitoring students' competences, including universal ones, for more than ten years. The assessment center, the students' self-assessment, the students' portfolio evaluation, the expert assessment during Internship and during the final exams are held on different courses of study.The purpose of this article is to analyze the experience of monitoring the formation of universal students’ competences of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Pskov State University during the entire period of study. The article contains a model of monitoring universal students’ competences.The research used the following methods: analysis of the scientific literature, assessment center, questioning, observation, expert evaluation.
The training of a graduate with project thinking is one of the trends in modern higher education. Specialist with soft skills is in demand by society. The formation of soft skills is facilitated by using project technologies in training. In this regard, it seems important to identify the level of readiness of freshmen to project-oriented training.The purpose of this article is to analyze the readiness of first-year students of the Institute of Mathematical Modeling and Game Practice of Pskov State University for project-oriented study at a university. The research used the following methods: analysis of the scientific literature on the research problem, observation, expert evaluation, questioning, and statistical analysis of the results. In the process of research, (a) the need for an input assessment of freshmen readiness for project activities was substantiated, (b) the components of students' readiness for project-oriented training were identified, (c) the selected components were evaluated during the training project carried out by freshmen, (d) the results were analyzed.
The article deals with the process of diagnostics of future preschool educators’ research skills development. The need to develop a system of diagnostics of future preschool educators’ research skills development is justified by the need to develop students ’ components of research competence specified in the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education (FSES HE). The system of activity of the modern teacher of preschool education involves not only implementation of education and training of children, but also organization and conduct of research activities with pupils, elementary preparation of preschoolers for implementation of the analyzed activities in the future which justifies the need for diagnostics of future personnel educators’ research skills development in the process of their professional training in high school. The success of analyzed skills of future teachers’ development cannot be determined without diagnostic operations to identify the level of specialists’ research competence development. Thus, the purpose of this study is to solve the problem of criteria and indicators; determination the levels of research skills and their characteristics development. The aim of the research is realized by applying methods of pedagogical diagnostics, analysis and generalization. Practical and theoretical novelty of the study is justified by the fact that in its course, methods of selection and compilation of diagnostic tools, principles of implemented diagnostic operations and pedagogical conditions for their implementation are determined and a universal algorithm of actions for the use of diagnostic tools is developed. It allows determining the objective level of diagnostics of future preschool educators’ research skills development in order to imperfect it by adjusting and improving the whole methodological system. The results of the study allowed justifying the effectiveness of the developed system of pedagogical diagnostics which allows using it in future in determining diagnostics of future preschool educators’ research skills development.
Assessing the competencies of students is an important and challenging task. The article presents the experience of evaluating the universal competencies of students. We created individual and group exercises, criteria for evaluating the results of these exercises for assessing the universal competencies of students. In addition to expert evaluation, students were interviewed to identify their self-esteem. The created assessment tools were used for several years at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the Pskov State University to assess the universal competencies of first year students (more than 200 students participated). Some research results are analyzed in the article.
