Teaching methods

- interactive lecture (use of the following active forms of learning: guided (controlled) discussion or conversation; moderation; demonstration of slides or educational films; brainstorming; motivational speech)

- construction of scenarios for the development of various situations based on given conditions

- information and communication (for example, classes in a computer lab using professional software packages)

- search and research (independent research activities of students during the learning process)

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

The results of the current monitoring of academic performance are recorded by the teacher in accordance with the syllabus as students complete and submit individual types of assignments. The completion of assignments is recorded in the student attendance and academic performance log, as well as in the electronic record of current monitoring of students' knowledge in "Dalles Methodist". Students gain an admission rating before the start of the examination session, provided that all assignments are successfully completed according to the syllabus. The teaching teacher conducts all types of current and interim monitoring and derives the corresponding assessment of the current academic performance of students (the arithmetic mean of the current and interim monitoring assessments). In this case, the academic achievements of students are assessed on a 100-point scale for each completed assignment. A complete, detailed answer to the question is given, a set of conscious knowledge about the object is shown, the main provisions of the topic are convincingly revealed; the answer has a clear structure, logical sequence, reflecting the essence of the concepts, theories, and phenomena being revealed. Knowledge of the object is demonstrated against the background of its understanding in the system of a given science and interdisciplinary connections. The answer is presented in literary language in scientific terms. There may be shortcomings in the definition of concepts that the student corrects independently in the process of answering. 95-100 points A complete, detailed answer to the question is given, a set of conscious knowledge about the object is shown, manifested in free handling of concepts, the ability to highlight its essential and non-essential features, cause-and-effect relationships. Knowledge of the object is demonstrated against the background of its understanding in the system of a given science and interdisciplinary connections. The answer is formulated in scientific terms, presented in literary language, is logical, convincing, demonstrates the author's position of the student. A complete but not sufficiently consistent answer to the question is given, but the ability to identify essential and non-essential features and cause-and-effect relationships is demonstrated. The answer is logical and presented in scientific terms. C+ 70-74 There may be 1-2 errors in defining basic concepts that the student has difficulty correcting independently in scientific terms. There may be 1-2 errors in defining basic concepts that the student has difficulty correcting independently. 75-79 points A detailed answer to the question is given, the ability to identify essential and non-essential features and cause-and-effect relationships is demonstrated. The answer is clearly structured, logical, and presented in scientific terms. However, minor errors or shortcomings were made, corrected by the student with the help of leading questions. 80-84 points A complete, detailed answer to the question is given, the ability to highlight essential and non-essential features, cause-and-effect relationships is demonstrated. The answer is clearly structured, logical, presented in literary language in scientific terms. Shortcomings or minor errors may be made, corrected by the student with the help of the teacher. 85-89 points A complete, detailed answer to the question is given, the main provisions of the topic are convincingly disclosed; the answer shows a clear structure, logical sequence, reflecting the essence of the concepts, theories, and phenomena being revealed. The answer is presented in literary language in scientific terms. The answer contains shortcomings, corrected by the student with the help of the teacher. The answer is not complete or detailed enough. The logic and sequence of presentation are violated. There are errors in the disclosure of concepts and the use of terms. The student is not able to independently identify essential and nonessential features and cause-and-effect relationships. The student can concretize generalized knowledge, proving its main provisions using examples only with the help of the teacher. Speech design requires amendments and correction. 60-64 points The answer is incomplete, the logic and sequence of presentation have significant violations. Gross errors were made in determining the essence of the concepts, theories, and phenomena being disclosed due to the student's misunderstanding of their essential and nonessential features and relationships. The answer does not contain conclusions. The ability to disclose specific manifestations of generalized knowledge is not demonstrated. Speech design requires amendments and correction. 55-59 points The answer is incomplete. There is illogicality in presentation. The student has difficulty proving. A lot of significant errors in the definitions of terms, concepts, characteristics of facts and phenomena. The answer lacks conclusions. The speech is illiterate. When answering additional questions, the student begins to realize the existence of a connection between knowledge only after the teacher's prompt. 50-54 points An incomplete answer is given, representing scattered knowledge on the topic of the question with significant errors in definitions. Fragmentation and illogicality of presentation are present. The student does not realize the connection of this concept, theory, phenomenon with other objects of the discipline. There are no conclusions, specification and evidence of presentation. The speech is illiterate. Additional and clarifying questions from the teacher do not lead to the correction of the student's answer not only to the question posed, but also to other questions of the discipline.
