Estimate of Efficiency of Class and Learning Activities based on Criterion-Oriented Testing

Abstract

The research featured the views of the teaching staff of a military engineering university about didactic testing and diagnostics. It included a survey of students' learning motivation based on the achievement goal theory. The military students proved to be oriented towards improving their skills and getting new knowledge in order to achieve professional and personal growth. The article introduces a criterion-oriented estimate of efficiency methods that can be used to assess class activities and communicative interaction between the teacher and the student. The modeling process was illustrated using the mathematical formalization method. The authors believe that criterion-oriented testing can help to verify teachers' achievements. The article justifies the need to develop new criterion-oriented methodologies for identifying teachers' performance and offers a detailed algorithm that can be used in future research and verification of professional achievements.
