TEST TASKS FOR DETERMINING CORRESPONDENCE IN THE SUBJECT OF MATHEMATICS IN THE NATIONAL UNIFIED TESTING

Abstract

The research examines the challenges of introducing new test items within the Unified National Testing (UNT) framework. The primary focus is on improving the structure and content of the tests to provide a deeper assessment of students' knowledge and to develop their logical thinking skills. The study analyzed existing testing methods and then developed and implemented new types of questions designed to evaluate the depth of knowledge in specific subjects. The article discusses test items with multimedia elements and new matching questions. The matching questions were included to check students' skills in analyzing and comparing information, to foster critical thinking, and to assess their ability to establish logical connections between elements. These questions allow for testing not only the knowledge of facts but also the understanding of the interrelationships between them. This contributes to a comprehensive evaluation of students' knowledge and their ability to apply information in different contexts. The authors describe the matching questions for the subject «Mathematics» and reveal their specific role in the knowledge assessment system. Furthermore, the article highlights the importance and necessity of these questions in the modern education system, showing how they contribute to new approaches in teaching and evaluation.

The results of the new test item format's trial run demonstrated high effectiveness in assessing the depth of knowledge and logical skills of the test-takers. Statistical data, including reliability, difficulty, correlation characteristics, and other test indicators, were also analyzed. Based on the findings, recommendations for further improving the testing were developed, which will help increase the objectivity and effectiveness of the assessment within the Unified National Testing.
