Abstract

The authors consider the shortcomings of the five-point evaluation system used in Russian universities. The desire for more effective incentives has led to the introduction of parallel evaluating systems at an educational institution. The paper evaluates the use of the point-rating system (PRS) to enhance the motivation of master students to engage in active training activities throughout the entire period of study in the discipline “Professional Foreign Language”. In order to test the point-rating system, the authors worked out technological maps of rating points for evaluating the independent work of master students. The activities to be evaluated included preparing a report-presentation on the research topic and writing a scientific paper. Based on the performance results demonstrated by master students, a comparative analysis of learning outcomes was conducted. Following the survey results, the attitude of master students towards the point-rating evaluation system was determined. The use of the point-rating system for evaluating independent work develops the important intellectual qualities of master students, ensuring their desire to master the knowledge and put it into practice. Using the point-rating system to evaluate various types of independent work in the learning process makes it possible to obtain higher learning outcomes.
