The using of information and communication technologies in the process of intermediate control of educational activities of students of a technical university

The article is devoted to the problem of organizing intermediate control (offset) of students of a technical university. The authors give a comparative description of two forms of passing the test in physics: questions of the minimum theoretical knowledge by heart / problem solving (both stages in writing) and computer testing on questions of the minimum theoretical knowledge / written problem solving. The study was conducted using the methods of theoretical analysis of didactic and pedagogical literature, analysis and comparison of works of intermediate control (test with assessment) in physics of first-year students of a technical university. The possibility of transferring the function of checking the correctness of the answers of the theoretical part of the test from the teacher to the computer, that is, replacing the answers of students in writing with computer testing, is considered in detail. The SunRav TestOfficePro program was chosen as a tool for creating electronic tests. The experiment showed that the time spent on the preparation of methodological support and the development of a computer test program is fully compensated by the results of its application. The proven methodology is recommended for organizing the preparation of students for intermediate certification and conducting intermediate certification in the educational process of any technical university in which the fundamental discipline “physics” is studied as the basis for mastering general technical and special disciplines.
