METHOD FOR EVALUATION OF EDUCATION EFFICIENCY Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: education. SUBSTANCE: method involves detection of amount of knowledge and skills to learned by means of calculation of knowledge representation symbols, each of which is designed as relation between given and new concepts, and skill representation symbols, each of which is designed as single step of algorithm, which describes given skill. Before education, method involves measurement of source level of knowledge by means of calculation of number of knowledge and skill representation symbols, which are already known to students. After completion of education process, method involves examination of acquired knowledge and skills and measurement of number of acquired knowledge and skill representation symbols. Results of examination provide possibility to evaluate efficiency of education using given function. Examination of acquired knowledge is controlled by means of testing of memorization or reproduction and/or by means of recognition of correct answer from set of at least two possible answers. When at least two students take part in education process, source knowledge level and acquired knowledge and skills are measured to each student separately. When education process efficiency is evaluated, mean values of said levels are used. EFFECT: increased efficiency and precision of evaluation. 8 cl, 2 tbl
