Quantified educational texts as a means of improving the quality of procedural aspect of the educational process

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the matters related to the quality of education. Having analyzed the theoretical and methodological views of scientists in this sphere, the authors have come to the conclusion that the quality of education should be considered as a unity of the quality of process, conditions
and result. At the same time, the quality of the educational process accompanied by the adequate quality of pedagogical conditions for the course of this process can provide a qualitative result. In the authors’ opinion, improvement of the quality of procedural aspect of the educational process appears to be connected with using of quantified educational texts.
Analysis of the conceptual questions of Professor V.S. Avanessov’s theory of pedagogical measurements has allowed the authors of the article to clarify such methodologically important terms, as: “text”, “educational text”, “quantum”, “quantifying”, which make up the structure of the concept “quantified educational text”, namely - divided into small indivisible parts training text, from which all the minor information is removed, and complex language formulations are replaced with more understandable ones for the target audience. Moreover,
each of the semantic fragments has a concise heading that reflects the information contained in this fragment (quantum). The article also outlines the basic characteristics of quantified educational texts, as well as provides
step-by-step instruction for quantifying of educational information.
Need for using of quantified educational texts to improve the quality of procedural aspect of the educational process is substantiated by the memorability and better comprehensibility of the educational information
represented in a quantified form, what is also confirmed by the research of communicative linguistics.
