DESIGNING THE TOOLKIT TO ASSESS THE RESEARCH ACTIVITY PRODUCTS OF PEDAGOGICAL MASTER'S DEGREE STUDENTS
The research activity is a systemic vector of professional education of a pedagogical master's degree student that aims to train a teacher capable of scientifically substantiated solution complex and diverse professional tasks. The significance of the research activity in future teacher training determines, in many respects, the necessity for its organizational and methodological support, an integral part of which is the assessment of the process and the research activity results. The subject of this study is the performance aspect of the research activity products assessment considered in the context of the research project life cycle. The main task of the research is the development of assessment tools relevant to the research activity nature at different stages of the project life cycle. The solution of the assigned task is necessary to ensure constructive and productive feedback within the educational process, which provides the possibility of timely adjustment of the student's research activity and, on the whole, flexible transitions between the stages of the research project life cycle. To solve this task, the authors describe the actual state and the prospects of studying the research activity as a support object; sum up the principles of the author's concept of organizational and methodological support of the research activity; consider the stages of the research project life cycle; propose the pedagogical assessment interpretation; prove the requirements for pedagogical assessment; describe the procedure to design pedagogical assessment tools. The assessment cards for the products of analytical, design, formative, and presentational research activity are the study results. The proposed cards can form the base for more detailed development of assessment tools for evaluating products of the future teachers' research activity.
