Abstract

Objective of the study is to methodologically substantiate a model of the AI-oriented MENLIN examination, making it possible to link the content of an academic discipline with the professional role of the student, the typical tasks of the physical culture and sport sector and a measurable professional result. Methods and structure of the study. The authors designed a pedagogical model of the MENLIN examination on the basis of a generative language neural network of the GPT class. Within the framework of the study, the procedure of preparing a dataset for the neural network and the technology of conducting the AI examination are presented. Results and conclusions. It is shown that generative artificial intelligence (AI) should be used not as a source of ready answers, but as an examination instrument capable of forming individualised professional scenarios, clarifying the role of the student, linking the content of the discipline with the typical tasks of the sector and organising a dialogue-based verification of reasoning. On the material of the preparation of specialists in physical culture and sport, the concepts of role and cluster of a professional solution are revealed, the logic of the formation of questions and an example of a scenario task in the physiology of sport are provided. It is concluded that MENLIN makes it possible to supplement independent test control, preserving the verification of the basic minimum of knowledge, but to transfer the main expert assessment to the ability of the learner to ensure a professional result.
