| Abstract:
Russia's joining common European educational area provoked the introduction of the new generation of State Educational Standards. There are requirements to educational outcomes instead of requirements to educational content in the new Standards, which are described in terms of the competence based approach towards educational quality assessment. The purpose of our research was the analysis of changes in university's graduates assessment which were brought in context of the competence based approach. The information for research was received on the basis of questionnaires which were suggested to the teachers of 400 high schools engaged in preparation of graduates in the field of management.
The analysis shows that the changes were about the methodological approaches in evaluation, dimensionality of measurement, types of instruments, item format, factors influencing educational quality and scaling methods. In our paper we present the changes which have taken place in assessment caused by the new context of Standards.
