Abstract:
Special computerized test-control of knowledge gained by participants during the post-graduate educational and training course on radiation protection and safety of radiation sources was processed for several years (since 2001). The destination of the test-control comprise two parts: 1) testing the state of core knowledge in each part of training programme (10 modules of IAEA Standard Syllabus) and 2) stimulation of education process. The pool of questions and short problems is accumulated. To distribute questions randomly between participants from the pool and to process their answers automatically the special computer Web-friendly programme named ‘Environmental UniversTest’ was processed. Testing participants at the beginning of the course usually show considerably low basic level of their knowledge in key fields. It gives an opportunity to focus efforts of trainers on the specific questions and to introduce corrections into academic process. Testing also establish the atmosphere of competition between participants. Methodological peculiarities of question pools on some topics are discussed in the report. The ‘Environmental UniversTest’ will be available from the site http://www.iseu.by for future participants with special pool of questions for pre-training testing. |
