The problem of assessing the quality of specialized university graduate training

The paper analyzes the problem of assessing the development degree of the specialized university graduate competencies that are found in state standards of higher education and the departmental order. We consider the existing practices and approaches to making a collection of evaluation tools. The paper presents the requirements for assessment tools to check the development of competencies: integrative, problem-activity tasks, focus on the application of skills and knowledge in the field of special situations in the actualization of the content of professional work tasks, expertise in the professional community, link criteria with planned results. These requirements are considered for innovative forms of control: level test (recognition – substitution – productive activity – decision-making in problem situations); test action (practical test); situational test (analysis of the situation of the future professional activity). Special attention is devoted to the consideration of this form of professional competence assessment as interdepartmental exercises that allow you to check special developed students’ competences when students demonstrate their knowledge, skills and personal qualities and carry out their professional activities in practice. Developed professional competence assessment tools for specialized university cadets and students can serve as a basis for further coordination of the educational process.
