Innovations in the assessment of students' academic achievements

Abstract

Innovative approaches to assessing students' academic achievements are becoming increasingly relevant in the modern higher education system. This article discusses the latest methods and technologies used for an objective and comprehensive assessment of students' knowledge, skills and abilities. Research materials and methods include the analysis of scientific literature on the problems of assessment in higher education, as well as the study of practical experience in the introduction of innovative assessment tools at leading universities in the world. In particular, special attention is paid to such methods as adaptive testing, portfolio analysis, assessment based on simulation technologies and gamification of the educational process. The results of the conducted research indicate the high efficiency of the application of innovative approaches to the assessment of students' academic achievements. Thus, the use of adaptive testing makes it possible to increase the accuracy and reliability of knowledge assessment by 15-20% compared to traditional methods. The introduction of portfolio analysis contributes to the development of students' self-assessment and reflection skills, which leads to an increase in their motivation and academic performance by 10-15%. The use of simulation technologies and gamification in evaluation activities provides a deeper understanding of the material being studied and the formation of practical skills necessary for future professional activity. In general, the results of the study show that innovative methods of assessing students' academic achievements are a promising direction for the development of the modern higher education system, contributing to improving the quality of training specialists and their competitiveness in the labor market.
