Measurement tools of competencies in higher humanitarian education: Understanding school approach
The paper proposes an approach to the problem of measuring students' competence based on the principles of the School of understanding (School of communicative didactics). Measurability is regarded as the starting point in the design of the results of the educational program and the very structure of learning activities of students. The authors substantiate the principle that allows to group usually pretty fractional competence measured unity. They are oﬀered to name metacompetencies. On the basis of metacompetencies the ﬁlling-in of structural blocks of the program with contents take place (that is also true of used teaching methods as well). It is precisely the metacompetencies diagnostics in the course of mastering the educational program by students that constitute as a precondition forbeing a real performance guarantee in the training.
