Resumen

The outdated educational technologies are being replaced by e-learning technologies, which expand the possibilities of traditional education both in terms of facilities and new pedagogical methods. The use of such an innovative learning tool as the learning management system Moodle allows for objective and automated control of students’ knowledge. With the help of LMS Moodle teachers can conduct electronic tests, save information about test results, analyze it and form individual tests on this basis. The quality of an electronic test is determined mainly by its reliability, which consists in the accuracy of measurements and the stability of test results to the action of extraneous random factors. Teachers should take into account a number of factors that influence the reliability of a test. Special attention should be paid to the content, differentiation and difficulty level of test tasks. To date, several methods have been developed to evaluate test reliability, including the split-half method, which involves a single test. On the basis of this method, using the Spearman-Brown correlation coefficient, in this paper we evaluated the reliability of the test created in LMS Moodle. #COMESYSO1120. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
