The paper is devoted to the study of types of managing the student’s educational activity. The educational discipline “Practicum of problem solving in informatics” for students of third year study, future teachers of informatics have been chosen for realising pedagogical conditions of computer-oriented management of students’ educational activity. Progressive turn from direct management through comanagement, subsidiary management to self-management was the main idea of designing the courseware. The information and communication educational environment has been based on the platform of learning management system Moodle. The Workshop elements of Moodle played the central role in management of students’ educational activity. The results of our pedagogical observation and assessment showed the efficiency of suggested approach. Additionally, there were shown the lack of students’ competency in time planning and introspection on the base of the experimental data.

The paper is devoted to the study of systematicity of students’ learning activity as a parameter of student’s model, and influence of systematicity at learning results in the course “Operating Systems”. The necessity to equip the student himself as the subject of the educational process with the skills and appropriate pedagogical forecasting tools for independent choice of the appropriate variant of educational activity is shown as theoretical framework. Parameters of models in such pedagogical diagnostics system are suggested and discussed. Empirical work has been realised on the base of learning management system Moodle and give possibility to analyse correlation between timeliness of completing the learning tasks by students and their educational achievements as well as to analyse the structure of students’ time planning at homework. Recommendations to improve the educational process have been suggested

The essence of pedagogical diagnostics and its functions in the learning process is considered. The use of pedagogical diagnostics in distance learning to help the student in choosing the expedient for him variant of independent work that contributes to personal orientation of the educational process is analysed. Structure of the pedagogical diagnostics system is proposed, requirements to the system, the stages and procedure of its design are discussed.

The technology of the automated pedagogical diagnostics is analysed. The testing strategy, oriented for pedagogical diagnostics purpose, and grading algorithm, which corresponds to Ukrainian school grading standards, are suggested. "Expert 3.05”software for automated pedagogical testing is designed. The methods of administration of the database of the test items are proposed. Some tests on the mathematical topics are prepared with "Expert 3.05". The approbation of these tests in the educational process of Kharkov National Pedagogical University named after G.S.Skovoroda is analysed.

Efficiency of designing of pedagogical diagnostics system is considered in two aspects: as the efficiency of design process and efficiency of result of designing, i.e. the system which is created. Design regularities of an automated pedagogical diagnostics system are determined and substantiated.

Efficiency of Chi-square criterion and Fisher's angular transformation for statistical hypothesis testing are investigated at small samples with computer-based model. The results show that both criteria give satisfactory accuracy even at small samples. Accuracy zones of determination of the false positive rate (type I error) are analysed on the base of stochastic computational experiments. Comparison of sensitivities of investigated tests is shown as a function of samples size for some cases.

Didactical demands for pedagogical diagnostics and its realisation specific characters in information and communication learning environment of university are analysed. The questions of ethics and information security of pedagogical diagnostics are considered. Ethic aspects, connected with using of the automated pedagogical diagnostic systems, are underlined. Results of survey of students about their view points on issues of security of pedagogical diagnostics data are discussed.
