Abstract:

The principles of building physical knowledge largely determine the structure and content of technical and natural science knowledge. Therefore, it is difficult to overestimate the importance of the physics course at the training process in engineering and natural science directions of preparation. However, in recent years in Russian universities in the bachelor's system, there has been a steady trend towards a decrease in the total labor intensity of the discipline "Physics" in the structure of professional training. The country's universities offer a wide range of pedagogical solutions to mitigate the negative manifestations of this trend. A special place is given to the design of information technology to support the educational process of the discipline.

The article presents the experience of developing an automated testing system of integrated monitoring of the educational process in physics. A fundamental feature of the proposed system, which distinguishes it from existing analogs, is the methodology of its design, based on the ideas of an object-oriented approach. Instrumental means of designing were chosen CASE technology and used in their unified modeling language (UML). In the notation of this language, a general idea of the projected information system is built based on a complex of developed diagrams that are visually understandable to the entire development team, regardless of their professional affiliation.

The main stages of designing an automated testing system are described: domain analysis, building the model, creating the system, its physical implementation. Visualization of each design stage was provided by building UML diagrams. The development of eight types of templates (conditions that determine the choice of a specific test task from the general bank of tasks) for all kinds of physics lessons is presented. Methods of statistical and semantic analysis were to assess the validity of test items.

The basic requirements for the functional characteristics of the designed system are formulated, its executors and main precedents are determined. The software and hardware supporting the stage of the physical implementation of the system are discussed. The possibility of implementing multidimensional current and prolonged statistics for each student makes it possible to organize rating strategies of semester training cycles is noted.
