All-Ukrainian Mathematical Olympiad for Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute entrants: analysis of results and future prospects

Abstract

Analysis of All-Ukrainian Mathematical Olympiads for entrants of the National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" that was held in 2017 and 2018 is studied in the paper. Organizational aspects and application of computer technologies for conducting Mathematical Olympiads for University entrants, geography of the Olympiad participants has been analyzed. The subjects of the tasks, the form of their presentation at different rounds of the Olympiad, the methodology for conducting the first and second rounds, time framework foreach stage, specifics of the Olympiad work assessment using capabilities of the Moodle educational platform were studied. Peculiarities of online distance round of the Olympiad on the basis of Moodle platform are studied in detail. Quality of the taken extramural test was analyzed using classical test theory. On the grounds of this analysis a table and a histogram of interval frequency distribution of individual scores were built. Strong and weak sides of the use of computer technologies are revealedon example of the organized Olympiads. Outlook and possible directions of further development of Mathematical Olympiads for University entrants in nowadays conditions are outlined.
