DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF A CUMULATIVE SYSTEM FOR ASSESSING THE KNOWLEDGE OF STUDENTS OF TECHNICAL UNIVERSITIES IN THE DISCIPLINE “MATHEMATICS”

Abstract

The article reveals an urgent problem of higher professional education – improving its quality by activating students’ academic work during the semester. One of the possible ways to solve this problem is to improve the system for assessing students’ individual achievements. The main objective of the research is to develop a cumulative assessment system that improves the effectiveness of teaching mathematics. The authors have considered in detail the stages of forming a student’s work assessment in the semester (current control) and in the exam (final control). The presented system was tested by the authors in the course of studying mathematics by students of the Volga State University of Railways in 2022 – 2024. The analysis of the results showed the activation of all types of students’ academic work and a significant improvement in the quality of mathematical education in comparison with the control group.
