SCIENTIFIC AND PEDAGOGICAL ESSENCE OF INNOVATIVE ASSESSMENT TECHNOLOGIES

 This article is devoted to the study of the theoretical and practical foundations of innovative assessment technologies in the educational process. The paper systematically analyzes the essence, classification features, pedagogical, psychological, and didactic foundations of innovative assessment technologies, as well as the practical mechanisms for their implementation in educational practice. The primary objective of the study is to identify the scientific and methodological foundations of innovative assessment technologies, reveal their impact on the quality and effectiveness of education, and substantiate ways of improving assessment practices in accordance with contemporary pedagogical requirements. The research employed methods such as scientific literature analysis, comparative approach, systematization, generalization, and pedagogical interpretation. The findings demonstrate that innovative assessment technologies transform assessment from a conventional monitoring tool into a developmental, analytical, and management-oriented pedagogical system. Furthermore, the study highlights the practical significance of digital and interactive assessment tools in enhancing student engagement, strengthening feedback mechanisms, ensuring an individualized approach to learning, and providing a more accurate evaluation of educational outcomes.
