5. Can you tell me the advantages of new form of assessment? ( 9слайд)

So, dear colleagues! The problems of evaluation and its objectivity is acute both for teachers in the practice of teaching, and for students to assess the success for their education. It is important for the teacher how, with the help of the assessment, the interest in the subject cannot be extinguished, but, on the contrary, it can stimulate the student to advance in relation to himself. Evaluation should become an instrument in the hands of the teacher, who will direct, discover new opportunities for the student on the path of cognition.
