Abstract

The aim of the work – to study the influence of weight coefficients on the prognostic validity of the competition score; by means of mathematical substantiation the optimal values of these coefficients are determined, which will ensure the maximum validity of competitive selection.

Materials and Methods. The study of the success of higher education students of the first year of full-time education by specialty 226 «Pharmacy» was conducted.

The estimation of the linear interconnection power between the competition score (and its components) and the indicators of the current success of higher education was obtained by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient. Statistical processing is done using Microsoft Excel.

Results and Discussion. The article examines the possibility and feasibility of using the results of external testing to identify entrants who can successfully continue their studies at a higher school. The mathematically based recommendations for improving the quality of competitive selection for identifying entrants who will be able to successfully study at higher educational institutions are offered. The recommendations are based on a statistical analysis of the data on the success of higher education students of the first year of specialization 226 «Pharmacy» in the field of knowledge «Health», entered the National Pharmaceutical University (NUPh) in 2015 in comparison with the competition point. It has been proved that by purposefully changing the weighting factors used in the calculation of the competition, the university can positively influence the qualitative composition of higher education graduates. The value of weight coefficients, at which the maximum validity of competitive selection is achieved, is obtained.

Conclusions. According to the results of the study, the correlation between the competition score of the student and the current achievement of the applicant of higher education during the first and second semester of the study was established.
