Abstract :
This paper describes basic categories of evaluation tasks, which can be used in area of computer science education process. The goals and weaknesses of automatic testing process by using computer based on automatic evaluation rules are discussed here. Article describes basic areas for testing in education, divides tasks into groups with same semantic and structure. Important part is oriented to describe different evaluation methods, their goals, and weaknesses that are demonstrated on elementary examples. Target of this document is to propose current problematic for current and future authors of study materials and tests. Test results and their future usage in IT practice are also mentioned. Article can help to select desirable evaluation methods for elementary questions. This article is not oriented to particular LMS. There is published evaluation theory that can be implemented in any LMS or interactive study materials. Especially this paper is oriented to question of creation of answers and theirs evaluation.
