Abstract
This article describes peculiarities of knowledge test control using a simulation model. The simulation model is based on modern information and communication technologies. At the same time, it relies as much as possible on the traditions of active participation of an examiner in the assessment of students’ learning success. Combination of advantages of computerized testing with mathematical foundations of examiner’s decision-making procedures broadens the field in which test control can be used effectively. The article describes procedures of the simulation model that have adaptive capabilities. It is noted that use of the simulation model reduced the impact of students’ learning environment on the accuracy of testing results.References
