Improving the quality of training secondary vocational education specialists in the framework of natural science and general professional discipline cycles

Statement of the problem. The relevance of the study is due to the need to find effective approaches to assessing the quality of training of specialists in secondary vocational education (SVE), dictated by the growing demands of the labor market and technological progress in the economy. The purpose of the article is to develop proposals for determining the criteria and parameters for the diagnostic assessment of the quality of training of specialists in secondary vocational education in the framework of the implementation of the natural science and general professional cycles of disciplines using pedagogical measuring materials of the Federal Internet Exam. The research methodology is based on legal acts in the field of secondary vocational education, competencebased approach, analysis of scientific publications and educational experience in the field of the formulated problem, practical research methods (questionnaires, surveys, expert assessments). The study is based on the methodology of V.P. Bespalko on the levels of knowledge assimilation and the gradual ranking of students along educational trajectories through testing in the form of testing on certain pedagogical measuring materials (PMM), which made it possible to clarify the content and structure of training students in the SVE system and the methodology for assessing the main educational results within the framework of the level model developed by the authors. Research results. On the basis of the proposals put forward, proposals were developed for conducting a diagnostic assessment of the quality of training of specialists in secondary vocational education at the Aerospace College, the content of the work programs of the natural science and general professional cycles of disciplines and assessment funds were revised. Organizational and pedagogical conditions for the implementation of the level model were developed and tested. An experimental confirmation of the effectiveness of the model of level assessment of the quality of training of SVE specialists in the educational process of the Aerospace College was carried out using pedagogical measuring materials of the Federal Internet Exam. Conclusion. The implementation of the developed organizational and pedagogical conditions for a level model for controlling the formation of general and professional competencies of SVE specialists contributes to the enrichment of the content of the disciplines in natural science and general professional cycle with production and situational tasks and the use of integrative design in the educational process, which contributes to improving the quality of training of SVE specialists. The implementation of the developed proposals in preparation for the FEPO in 2021 made it possible to increase learning outcomes by more than 10%, according to the pedagogical monitoring based on the results of the FEPO for March-July 2021.
