https://doi.org/10.15372/PEMW20200216
Abstract
Currently, the vocational education system is based on a competency-based approach, which considers the person»s ability to act productively in a professional situation rather than the amount of information learned as the result of education. The term «competency», as an indicator of the result of training, was introduced in the Russian Federation in 2009, with the introduction of the state educational standards for higher education of the first generation (Federal State Educational Standard), at the same time as the graduate students» competency model was introduced. Competence-based education implies competence-based orientation of both the content of the educational process and the methods of its implementation, as well as assessment procedures, means of assessing the quality of students» training, since the goals and the content of education, the organization of the educational process that are provided by educational standards, determine the results of education in the form of competencies. The implementation of the standards of competencies set in the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education in the actual learning process proved to be not so simple. Difficulties arise when relating the goals of education with the expected results, i.e., competencies. The difficulties are associated with the mismatch between the practical orientation of the competence-based approach and the existing subject-based orientation of the pedagogical practice. In the course of studying a specific discipline, the opportunity to fully form a speicfic competency, not a set of competencies specified by the Federal State Educational Standard, but also a specific competence, is small.
However, the main difficulty is associated with the assessment of the level of competence formation. A competence-based approach requires measuring not only specific knowledge and skills of students, but an assessment of the qualities of the person him- or herself. However, the existing system for assessing the quality of education does not have the necessary assessment tools for this. This article discusses the issues of competence-based education in higher education, analyzes its features, and problems raleted to the assessment of the level of competence formation.
