ORGANIZATION OF ASSESSMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS: INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE

The proper organization of assessment in higher education institutions plays a key role in improving the learning and teaching process, the academic performance of students, and the overall indicators of the higher education institution. The organization of the assessment consists of several stages. One of them is the exploration of assessment methods and principles on an international scale. Studying the assessment practices of different countries is one of the fundamental objectives in the education policy of any country. Familiarizing with international assessment examples, problems that may arise during the development of educational programs (curriculum) are avoided, and both financial resources and time are correctly used for choosing the most efficient method. In the article, various methodologies, problems, and innovations shaping assessment in Dutch, Danish, Canadian, and Scottish higher education institutions are comparatively examined.
