DETERMINATION OF ASSESSMENT METHODS FOR STUDENTS' COMPETENCY DEVELOPMENT IN THE PROCESS OF CHEMISTRY EDUCATION

Abstract

In this article, competence assessment methods reflecting the results of chemistry teaching were considered. Objective and transparent assessment of students' competencies plays an important role in the modern education system. The criterion assessment system meets these requirements and makes it possible to evaluate students' academic achievements based on specific criteria. In chemistry, various methods are used to assess competencies (test assignments, laboratory work, project method, portfolio, essay). The article examines the features of competence assessment methods in chemistry teaching and experimentally examines their effectiveness. The test tasks are aimed at identifying students' theoretical knowledge and the ability to apply it. Laboratory work evaluates practical skills, the ability to conduct experiments and analyze results. The project method develops students' research abilities, creative thinking, and independent work skills. The portfolio method allows you to comprehensively assess the student's achievements by analyzing the work that he has accumulated during the learning process.Writing an essay evaluates students' ability to systematically express their thoughts on chemical topics and to think critically.These assessment methods allow for a comprehensive assessment of students' chemistry competencies and contribute to improving the effectiveness of the educational process. The purpose of this work is to identify methods for evaluating the results of students' competence formation in the process of teaching chemistry, to study the effectiveness of their application, and to suggest ways to improve the quality of education based on these methods. Preliminary testing was conducted, and the initial level of knowledge of the students was determined. During the training, modern methods and technologies (virtual laboratories, group work, problem-based learning) were used in the experimental group. At the end of the lesson, the students of both groups were given the same tasks, and the results were compared. The article concludes that the competence-based assessment system contributes to improving student learning outcomes and developing their creative and research abilities. It remains important to study and improve the effectiveness of the application of the considered methods in practice.
