The article considers the prospects of using the open-book exam in the educational environment using the example of the Academy of Physical Education and Mass Sports of Astana. The study is aimed at studying the opinions of teachers and students regarding the effectiveness of this form of knowledge assessment. The survey involved 12 teachers of the Department of Physical Education and Coaching, as well as 73 students of the training program "Physical Education Teacher and Sports Coach". The majority of the surveyed teachers (87%) are ready to consider the possibility of using open-book exams, highlighting among the advantages stress reduction (75%), development of critical thinking (50%) and compliance with academic integrity (37%). Students also positively assess the potential of the format: 55% expect a decrease in stress, 66% consider it useful for their future profession. At the same time, 77% of students noted the possibility of maintaining academic integrity when using this format. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of preferred variations of the open-book exam: the majority of teachers (62%) prefer to use their own notes, 37% - educational and scientific literature. The complete refusal to use Internet resources demonstrates a cautious attitude towards digital technologies in the process of knowledge assessment. The data obtained indicate a high potential for the introduction of open-book exams into the educational process of universities of physical education and sports, provided that the methodology and content of examination tasks are carefully developed.
