Open-Form Tests for Control in Teaching Technical Disciplines of Communication Theory

The optimal form of test tasks from the point of view of computerization of the testing process are test tasks with an open form of test answer. In tasks of this kind there is no "rigid list" of alternative answer options - the correct answer must be given by the test taker himself, and this answer must indicate the quality of his knowledge. Thus, the main disadvantage of test items with multiple answer options is eliminated. Open test tasks have their own specific requirements both for the formulation of the question and for the logical certainty of the content of the task itself. The article describes examples of such test tasks for teaching technical disciplines and, in particular, communication theory disciplines, as well as testing requirements.
