The problems faced by students and teachers are indicated. Approaches and tools for regulating the evaluation process are proposed, a brief description and examples of their use are given.

Digital technologies are entering the everyday life of every person. The process of education is changing either. This entails the need to change the methodological training of future primary school teachers in accordance with the requirements of the time. The modern stage of computerization in Russia has led to the emergence of a new generation of children. Teachers begin to work with children of the alpha generation. These are the children of a new generation, making new demands on society. Relevant for novice teachers is the correlation of the school digital educational space, their own experience in the use of information and communication technologies, the already existing computer experience of a modern child and the main goal of learning - acquisition of knowledge and skills. The future primary school teacher has to take into account the characteristic features of alpha generation children in the educational process, linking their psychological characteristics, widespread computerization and traditional school. The purpose of this article is to analyze the possibilities of integration of the following positions into learning process: use of gadgets in the learning process; distribution of cognitive resources of the child in the process of completing tasks; evaluation of the child’s activities; implementation of non-standard learning; development of communication skills among primary school students; negative consequences of uncontrolled inclusion of digital materials in the educational process. The leading method for studying the problem is a pedagogical experiment. The essence of the experimental work was to use the worked out approaches to the alpha generation in the process of methodological training of future primary school teachers. The theoretical significance of the work was in the analysis of the literature on the designated problem and the identification of characteristics of children of a new generation. The practical worth of the article lies in the proposed variants of correlating the characteristic features of children of the alpha generation with the organization of the educational process.

An urgent issue in modern higher education, particularly when teaching English in a technical university, is the contradiction between the need for systematic monitoring of language skills development and the ineffectiveness of traditional assessment methods. These methods take up a significant amount of academic time and prevent the adaptation of the educational process to the individual needs of students. The aim of this study is to explore a dynamic approach to resolving contradictions: to evaluate the development of English language proficiency levels of technical university students based on their entrance and final tests in order to enhance the effectiveness of monitoring language acquisition. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were set: 1) To analyze the theoretical aspects of testing as an assessment tool. 2) To describe the stages and specifics of the entrance and final testing at the Russian University of Transport (MIIT). 3) To analyze the results of the entrance and final testing of 1st-year students of the Foreign Language Department of RUT (MIIT). 4) To evaluate the effectiveness of the applied testing format and to identify promising areas for its improvement. The testing results demonstrate the effectiveness of the applied format and its compliance with its purpose. The use of systematic entrance and final tests allows us to effectively monitor the dynamics of the development of English language proficiency among technical university students. This helps us to tailor educational materials to individual student needs, and as a result, increase the effectiveness of their learning. Based on a detailed analysis of the testing results, areas for further development were identified, in particular, the need to adjust the teaching methods for level B1. The theoretical significance of this research is the analysis of contemporary methods used to assess students in technical universities when learning English, as well as identifying the most effective methods for monitoring the progress of learning materials. The practical significance of this work lies in the analysis of the results from two years of testing, which shows a positive trend towards students' progress from A1 and A2 levels to higher levels, as well as a noticeable increase in their language proficiency. Additionally, the study demonstrates the transition of some students from the entry-level A0 to higher proficiency levels.
