PROBLEMS OF IMPLEMENTING CRITERIAL ASSESSMENT IN THE PRACTICE OF A SECONDARY SCHOOL IN THE ASPECT OF TEACHING MATH

The study presented in the article analyzes and summarizes world experience on the problem of implementing criteria-based assessment in education; the system of risks of using criteria-based assessment in educational practice is revealed; the analysis of methodological recommendations and teaching aids used by teachers of Kazakhstan in organizing the assessment of educational results of schoolchildren was carried out; a focus group survey was conducted to identify problematic aspects of educational assessment in teaching mathematics to schoolchildren. On the basis of the study, we have to state that despite the broad potential benefits of assessment based on criteria, problematic aspects of the ill-considered use of such assessment in educational practice inevitably arise, the study of which is not given sufficient attention by Kazakhstani scientists and teachers. The effectiveness of the use of criteria-based assessment in educational practice depends on many factors: the unambiguity and clarity of the assessment criteria, their unified interpretation by evaluators; the conformity of methods, tools and evaluation materials to the subject area; the level of competence of teachers as evaluators. The introduction of a new assessment system should be associated with constant work on the creation and improvement of assessment tools and procedures, with the study of the most effective practices of criteria-based assessment, their adaptation to the realities of the Kazakhstani education system.
