PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIENCE
Problem relevance. Due to the multi-departmental concepts and the different content of educational programs of schools and universities, a serious problem arises of the succession and continuity of the education system along the “vertical” in general and subject teaching in particular. Another didactic problem is the need to ensure interdisciplinary connections of basic courses in the traditional disciplinary model of the educational process for more effective and expedient formation of certain student’s competencies sets. In this regard, it is of interest to create new organizational and meaningful approaches to training specialists without a significant restructuring of the traditional educational process.
The purpose of the article is to substantiate a collaborative model of subject training of students in a school-university cluster of disciplines, which ensures the succession and continuity of education at school and university.
Methodological basis. On the example of three disciplines “Programming”, “Computanional Methods”, “Information Technologies in Education”, a cluster model of teaching schoolchildren and students in the direction of training “Mathematics and Computer Science” has been designed and implemented. A feature of the considered school-university cluster of disciplines is a unified methodological base of target, meaningful and didactic elements that form and develop the calculative-algorithmic component of the computational thinking of students. The basis of the means and methods of teaching in the cluster is made up of cognitive techniques and a platform of “computational and algorithmic primitives” — solving elementary task template. A recursive approach is used in the methods of cluster subject teaching of schoolchildren and students.
Results and Conclusions. The model of the created disciplinary cluster “Programming — Computanional Methods — Information Technologies in Education” contributes to the formation and development of the calculative-algorithmic component of the computational thinking of schoolchildren and students, and also forms their assigned groups of competencies. The school-university cluster of disciplines ensures real succession and continuity of school and university education, without unnecessary, sometimes artificial, labor-intensive additional organizational and methodological means and techniques. The approach under consideration can be used to create clusters of disciplines in various educational areas, allowing their meaningful collaboration and forming given competencies sets and schoolchildren’s and student’s cognitive abilities.
The development of self-driving cars in the modern world is accelerating every year, and it is obvious that the safe movement of such cars is impossible without special fault-tolerant software tools. With the improvement of technology, such software tools increasingly include elements of artificial intelligence. Currently, on the basis of flexible mechanisms of the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform, an application solution is being developed that allows to analyze the behavior of an self-driving car on a public road. Such software can be used in the educational activities of students in areas related to mathematical statistics, as well as to study mathematical methods that optimize the operation of the on-board computer of a driving self-driving car. Considering the growth of educational programs, which include the study of applied solutions and the development of such solutions on the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform, the use of the software in question in the educational process is available to students, useful and interesting for them. The presence of a large number of reports using the data layout system will allow to analyze the movement of self-driving cars in precisely those sections that are necessary for a student or researcher to conduct research activities.
Automation of decision support is proposed by including special criteria with the overall configuration of an automated decision support system for creative universities. A prototype of an automated decision support system for creative universities has been developed, which will allow assessing the achievements particularly talented students and identifying the needs in the learning process in order to help organize the educational process in accordance with identified capabilities. Use of a decision support system based on the Bayesian classifier is suggested to assess and evaluate factors contributing to the progress in teaching students particular techniques, and in perspective to assess the possible resources that will be required to make changes to the learning plan. The existing approaches to the assessment of students academic performance are analyzed. The list of specific performance indicators, which are important to be taken into account when assessing the achievements of students of creative specialties, is given. The system should contribute to the formation of the learning plan, taking into account the capabilities of both a group art workshop as a whole, and special needs of an individual to develop, if necessary an individual approach.
INFO CONTEST
The distance form of the implementation of educational programs in university should not affect the quality of the competencies formed in the future graduate. One of the competencies of a graduate, the need for which is dictated by modern educational standards and labor market requirements, is the ability to fulfill his role in a team. When organizing teamwork of students in a distance learning environment, the problems of managing the activities of team members, tracking work results, assessing the contribution of each participant to the overall result arise. The article describes such an approach implemented on the basis of the LMS Moodle to form students into teams and to coordinate the actions of team members in a distance learning environment, which ensures the achievement of educational goals and the formation of teamwork skills. The possibilities of communication tools of the LMS Moodle for organizing teamwork of students are discussed. The conclusion is made about the advantages of the Wiki element, which allows each group of students to work on their project, and the teacher — to track the contribution of each participant to the achievement of the overall result. The conclusions presented in the article can be used in organizing teamwork in the context of distance learning, implemented using the Moodle platform.
The article discusses the issue of the dynamics of changes in IT tools that have been and are used to make management decisions in the work of the university admission committee. The main directions of the work of the admission committee are highlighted: organizational and methodological, technological, the actual admission campaign and generalization, as the final stage at which the results of the admission campaign are summed up. The features of each of the directions are highlighted and the IT tools that were used for them are indicated. It is shown that over the past two decades, IT tools have undergone drastic changes, which are associated with an increase in the functionality of the admission committee. Arguments are given in support of the thesis that the solution for automating the management activities of the university, in particular for the admission campaign, over the past years has been a domestic software on the 1C:Enterprise platform — the 1C:University system. The article presents the stage-by-stage coordination of the admission campaign — from planning and forming the required list of documents (application of the applicant, receipt, examination sheets) to processing information about entrance examinations and USE results, forming enrollment orders. It is shown that the 1C:University system occupies an important place in the automation of many processes taking place in the admission office of the university. Online services that are important for the organization of the admission campaign are described.
Modern society is developing under the influence of various factors, among which new information technologies occupy an important place, which make any person’s access to a huge flow of information simply instantaneous. Today, reliable information is one of the important products of society, and a thinking person is the main strategic resource of this society. Therefore, in the information society, the intellectual development of each of its members becomes a priority. In this regard, it is necessary to look for ways to optimize the process of training teachers who are able to organize the educational process in such a way that students develop the knowledge, skills and abilities that will be in demand in their future life and professional activity in the digital economy. Almost all improvements in the educational process are already unthinkable without the use of information and communication technologies, which have colossal didactic capabilities. They can be used in the educational process in two ways: as a powerful teaching tool and as an object of study, which allows you to solve educational problems and achieve set goals in the process of teaching, upbringing and development of students. One of the most effective and productive tasks that arouses great interest and is associated with the use of information technologies in both ways is the task of designing and creating digital educational resources, as well as their application in the educational process. The article provides an example of the implementation of a task related to the development of a digital educational resource for preparation for the Basis State Examination in informatics of ninth-grade secondary school students, which allows future subject teachers to form the professional competencies they need in the field of creating educational resources with their further inclusion in the educational process.
The method of visual presentation of educational information for solving problems of mathematics and informatics is effective for the development of algorithmic, logical and computational thinking of schoolchildren. Technical progress, informatization of education, the emergence of modern software for visualization of information change the activities of teachers who need to master new technologies of information visualization for use in the classroom and in work with gifted children. Visual models for presenting educational information and methods of their processing with the use of computer programs are also relevant in extracurricular activities, allowing to develop the intellectual abilities of schoolchildren. Teachers are required to teach children to create projects in which visibility is a necessary component and must be represented by an electronic product created using modern information visualization tools. The article proposes a variant of the advanced training course for teachers of mathematics and informatics on teaching methods for visualization of solving problems using graphs and the free software “Graphoanalyzator”. The relevance of the course is due to the need to form the competency to carry out targeted work with gifted children in the use of software for creating and processing graphs based on the graph visualization program “Graphoanalyzator”. The authors believe that the training of teachers on this course will contribute to the formation of their skills to solve problems of mathematical modeling in informatics and mathematics, to apply information technologies to solve pedagogical problems in the context of informatization of education.
