The developed software for measuring latent variables is structured as follows: programs for measuring of latent variables, categorization of continuous indicators for measurement of latent variables, modeling experimental situations, investigation the precision of measurement of latent variables, analysis the quality of tests and questionnaires as measuring tools.

The relevance of the presented article is due to the need for a detailed analysis of the characteristic aspects of the evaluation of universal competences during the transition to the 3++ FSES of higher education. In modern professional education, more and more attention is paid to the formation of universal competences among students, since universal competences combined allow graduates to make successful professional career in at least one area. The article examines the essence and content of universal competences of the updated federal educational standards of higher education 3++, taking into account changes and additions, as well as problems related to measuring and evaluating the formation of universal competences of students in the development of bachelor's degree programs. The analysis of the main approaches, techniques and procedures for evaluating the universal competences of students is made. In the process of studying the problem, logical and statistical methods were used, the scientific works on this issue were analyzed, the characteristics of the FSES of higher education 3++ were considered, and universal competences were evaluated. As for the results of the study, the "universal competences" concept is undergoing changes in the modern Russian university due to the introduction of new FSES 3++. This problem can be defined as the identification of universal competences. The classification of universal competences, ideas about the quality of a person in the educational standard, humanistic potential, the quality of goal-setting in educational policy and in quality management of education depend on its solution. This is followed by the conclusion that universal competences are an important means of training future specialists for an innovative economy.

The article considers the features of the formalization of a latent variable. The key attributes of the latent variable, – validity and reliability, – are considered. An example of measuring the latent variable "emotional well-being of younger schoolchildren" on a linear scale is shown. The effectiveness of the primary school education program has been quantified.

The article discusses the features of the formation of the concept of "value" and its measurement in children of primary school age. The stages of formation of a quantity and its measurements are revealed. Experimental and experimental work on the formation of the concept of "value" and its measurement in younger schoolchildren are described.

The article discusses the features of the study of quantities in the initial course of mathematics. The stages of studying quantities are revealed. The results of an experimental study are presented, and the developed set of tasks aimed at improving the level of mastery of the concept of magnitude by younger schoolchildren is described. A comparative analysis of the results is given.
