Abstract
Approaches to task generation for various disciplines are discussed, mentioned that a parameter method cannot be applied to programming. The authors developed an application of the idea of a constructive-selective method for creating programming tasks. A task created for constructive-selective methodical contains a set of components, from which a student makes up his answer (a program). Application of this method allows diversifying of tasks in programming and creates a new way of assessment based on the content of the answer. It’s also allows to grade both fully and partially correct answers. The main concepts of the model for representing programming tasks are illustrated by examples. The domain-specific markup language and its translator that allows generating tasks from a teacher’s program source text are proposed. An example of a translator usage is given.
