Abstract

The article deals with the detailed information about Methods and tools for assessing student competencies. The accurate assessment of student competencies is crucial in modern education, as it allows educators to measure not only knowledge retention but also skills, attitudes, and critical thinking abilities. This paper explores various methods and tools used for assessing student competencies, including traditional assessments, performance-based assessments, and technology-enhanced assessments. Traditional methods, such as multiple-choice tests and written exams, remain popular but are often limited in their ability to evaluate higher-order thinking skills. In contrast, performance-based assessments—such as projects, presentations, and portfolios—offer a more comprehensive evaluation by focusing on the application of knowledge in real-world contexts. Technology-enhanced tools, such as digital simulations, e-portfolios, and automated feedback systems, provide innovative ways to measure competencies while increasing engagement and personalization. The paper also discusses the importance of aligning assessment tools with learning objectives and provides insights into the challenges associated with each method, including issues of reliability, validity, and scalability. By combining multiple assessment methods, educators can obtain a holistic view of student competencies, enabling targeted support and improved learning outcomes.
