Diagnostics of students’ functional and subject skills (on the example of analysis of the results of student subject Olympiad in literature)

The article describes the precedent experience of holding a student subject Olympiad in literature at the Faculty of History and Philology of Tomsk State Pedagogical University as an approbation of a diagnostic model for assessing the level of development of students' functional and subject skills.In light of the ongoing transformations in the general education system aimed at increasing the level of students' functional literacy, the task of studying the quality of university students' functional training is timely and currently poorly covered in scientific and scientific-methodical literature. The relevance of the study lies in formulating approaches to assessing and diagnosing functional literacy in students majoring in philology.The article describes the empirical experience of holding an intellectual creative event of a competitive nature at a university; provides an analytical review of the results of the student subject Olympiad in literature; presents conclusions about the effectiveness of the proposed model, which served as the basis for determining approaches to diagnosing the development of students' functional subject and integrative literacy. The practical significance of this study is related to the possibility of using the developed diagnostic materials and assessment tools in the pedagogical practice of higher educational institutions, including it as a tool for current, interim certification.
