INFLUENCE OF THE FORMS OF TEST TASKS AND PROFILE SPECIALIZATION OF CLASSES ON THE BIOLOGICAL TESTS RESULTS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

The article presents the results of an experimental study of the influence of the form of test tasks and profile specialization on the results of tests in biology passed by the students of the grades 10 - 11. It is shown that, under equal conditions, the tests results achieved by high school students with open and closed test tasks differ by an average of 30% in favor of completion of the closed test tasks. The influence of the factors “class specialization” and “format of the test task” on the test results varies in accordance with the educational level. The results confirm the hypothesis formulated by us that the results of the tests depend not only on its reliability and validity, but also on the format of test tasks, educational level of students and profile specialization of classes
