MOBUSOSH No. 8,  Russia

At modern democratic school of Russia there shouldn't be a formal control. Test control as a form of modern estimation of knowledge, skills of pupils - a peculiar method of training also has to have the focus pronounced training, developing, to connect to self-checking, to be necessary and useful first of all to the trainee.

Attempts to change the approaches to school control accepted last century gave nothing as almost all offers and innovations were grouped round one question – whether to use at schools of an assessment, or to do without them.

In the standard understanding control means check, the systematic accounting of progress of pupils. Control is a component of process of training and provides the teacher of information on the course of cognitive activity of pupils in the course of training: about the level of digestion of new material, typical difficulties of pupils, etc.

The solution of these tasks causes the necessity of search of means of disclosure of identity of the identity of the pupil. Experience of the western education system forces to address to testing practice which was widely adopted in teaching and educational process.

Tests differ from traditional estimates and control of knowledge of school students in objectivity of measurement of results of training as they are guided not by subjective opinion of teachers, and by objective empirical criteria.

Tests promote the solution of educational tasks of mastering program knowledge, skills. Use at a lesson of tests demand from the teacher of transition from a habitual role of the mentor to a role of the controler to a position of the observant assistant who learns less and brings up, and helps children studies independently more, to fix and analyze an individual trajectory of the doctrine of each child.

The test technology as nature corresponding and health saving technology of control of quality of educational achievements of pupils, reduces the level of psychological uneasiness, a stressful state.

Implementation of tests develops skills of critical thinking: ability independently to analyze a study question, to estimate the offered versions of answers, to make a choice of the correct answer. Model of work on tests: "A call – judgment of the contents – a reflection".

The main advantage of test check in speed, and traditional check by means of didactic materials in its validity.

Tests are convenient for control of knowledge with application of various type of the controlling cars in classes of program control that is especially important "to provide with a reform objective broad application in educational process".

Tests allow to estimate success of training of group of pupils on the basis of the stage-by-stage analysis of knowledge of pupils.

So, having studied essence of control of knowledge, skills of pupils, we come to a conclusion that dependence of efficiency of training on quantity, quality, completeness, timeliness (efficiency), depth and objectivity of monitoring is the general regularity of all didactic process. The role of control of knowledge in educational process raises also due to the need to reveal exceptional children and students on all education levels to organize for them special forms of educational activity, to carry out differentiation in training. The solution of the last tasks is impossible without diagnostics of inclinations, abilities and versatile development of pupils.

Control of knowledge and abilities of pupils has a number of the positive moments: pupils repeat, fix the studied material, learn to talk, reason, logically to state thoughts, to raise questions; control cultivates responsibility, honesty, objectivity, diligence and many other merits in pupils. Thus, control in teaching and educational process allows to establish quality of theoretical knowledge and practical skills of pupils, ways of their educational activity, extent of intellectual development, and also level of pedagogical skill of the teacher. There is a set of methods of the organization of control of knowledge and abilities therefore before the teacher the wide choice of forms and types of control opens. Only the organic and rational combination oral, written and other control methods, coordinated on time of carrying out, reliability and a validity of a method of an assessment, and also providing adequate differentiation of the estimated pupils, can be considered effective in system of the organization of full educational process.
