Sažetak
Diversity of teaching curriculum in vocational subjects requires the application of different didactic-methodical approaches to teaching, and thus different methods for students’ knowledge evaluation. Objective assessment of knowledge is the imperative of the quality vocational education of healthcare professionals ; in the evaluation of students’ progress and final assessment of students’ knowledge, the formative and summative methods are commonly used during or after the course of a particular subject. Modern higher education insists on objectivity and scientific foundation of the evaluation process, which is the main reason why the didactic docimology has finally received a deserved place in the pedagogical practice in the last decades. The aim of this paper is to emphasize the importance of the unconditional appliance of scientific principles in students’ knowledge evaluation, critically analyze elements of the existing objective methods of assessment in vocational education of healthcare professionals, and to emphasize the social and professional significance of the student’s final grade, which should be an unambiguous indicator of acquired professional skills of a graduate student of healthcare sciences.
