Key words: assessment, control, educational, study group, rubric, teacher, pupil, education, teaching, assessment mechanism
The article examines the necessity of implementing modern mechanisms for assessing pupil progress in extracurricular study groups within general education institutions, with particular emphasis on multidimensional, rubric-based assessment. It notes that in group learning environments, assessment often remains formal, one-sided, and subjective, which can hinder the comprehensive development of pupils’ skills.
The study analyzes teachers’ perceptions, methodological preparedness, and practical limitations, identifying key challenges and needs. It presents rubric-based assessment systems, tools, and mechanisms that incorporate communicative, analytical, collaborative, and value-oriented components, allowing evaluation not only of final outcomes but of the entire learning process.
The article emphasizes the importance of teacher training and the development of practice-oriented tools to enhance educational quality. The proposed mechanisms are viewed as the foundation for a new culture of assessment, in which evaluation becomes a developmental and constructive process rather than solely a supervisory one, fostering pupil progress, engagement, and holistic skill development.
