Assessment of the results of mastering additional professional programs in conditions of team interaction of students

The research problem and the rationale for its relevance. The problem of improving the assessment activities in the system of additional professional education, associated with increasing trends towards the use of technologies of pedagogical partnership, team interaction of students is actualized. The goal is defined, which consists in scientific substantiation of ways and development of technology for assessment of project works, reflecting the results of mastering additional professional programs, prepared in the conditions of team interaction of students. The review of the literature is carried out, revealing the degree of development of this problem. It is stated that the scientific and methodological literature does not sufficiently address the issues of assessing the results of mastering additional professional programs, implemented in the conditions of team interaction of students, and does not present algorithms for assessing the individual contribution of each participant in the process of project work preparation. The authors chose systems theory (law of synergy) and dominant-position approaches as methodological bases, which determine advantages of team project work and possibilities of its assessment. As a result of the study the author's technology of assessment of project works, prepared in the conditions of team interaction of trainees, including the assessment of the contribution of each team member, is offered. The goal, form and procedure of the final attestation of the additional professional program are described. The requirements to the project work are characterized: its purpose and structure. The work algorithm in the form of tasks for the students is presented. The procedure of defense and methods of assessment of each listener's contribution, assessment criteria and levels of their manifestation are described. The effects and prospects of applying this technology in the system of additional professional education have been characterized and presented for discussion. The scientific novelty of the research consists in substantiating the principal possibility and developing the technology of assessing project works, reflecting the results of mastering additional professional programs, prepared under conditions of team interaction of students. Theoretical significance lies in the development of ideas about the possibility of assessing the professional-pedagogical and “flexible” competencies of the students in the system of additional professional education. It is assumed that the results of the study have high practical relevance and will find application in the design of systems of assessment of the results of professional pedagogical professional development, based on the application of the technology of team interaction of students, as well as in the practice of developing additional professional programs.
