GENERAL ISSUES
Evolving digital technologies are infiltrating schools wave after wave. The changes taking place are viewed as the schools’ digital renewal process (SDRP). The SDRP is complex (multidimensional). It includes changes in the educational environment (physical and virtual), the educational process, and the way the school operates. The SDRP goes uneven, with individual schools at different stages. One-time observation of the SDRP allows you to fix its current state (statics). The longitudinal observations allows you to see changes in the schools’ digital renewal (kinematics). The connection of the observed changes with the impact on the general education system makes it possible to discuss the development of digital renewal under the influence of individual control actions (dynamics). The stages of penetration of digital technologies into the work of the school: computerization, early and mature informatization, digital transformation (transition to the “Smart School”) can be considered as the stages of maturity of the SDRP. The article discusses a framework for describing the processes of digital renewal of schools in an evolving digital environment and an assessment of the SDRP’s maturity.
PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIENCE
The competitiveness of a modern university graduate is determined by his professional knowledge and skills, personal qualities, as well as the ability to make decisions, plan and organize work, and fulfill his role in team activities. Formation of the student’s ability to fulfill his role in a team is a general requirement for the training of a specialist in any field. The process of preparing university students for competitive events has great potential for the development of teamwork competencies. The aim of the study was to consider the specifics of preparing students for competitive events in the aspect of the approach of uniting students into teams. The peculiarities of preparing students for competitive programming in case of role-based and interpersonal methods of team formation were considered. The study used methods of observation, interviewing and questioning. The results of the study showed that the rolebased approach is more conducive to the development of student independence, the ability to make decisions, be responsible for the consequences of decisions, while the interpersonal approach allows to create conditions for the formation of team members’ ability to respond flexibly to changing circumstances. Thus, we can conclude about the various didactic possibilities of using role-based and interpersonal approaches to team building, about the need to use different methods for determining the composition of team members to solve educational problems in the learning process.
PEDAGOGICAL STAFF
The article describes the problems (organizational, technical, methodological) faced by university teachers when switching to a distance learning format. On the example of the Mordovian State Pedagogical University named after M. E. Evsevjev, the solution of some problems associated with the organization of distance learning and the peculiarities of building the educational process in new conditions is demonstrated. The platforms that served as the technological basis for launching distance learning at MSPU, in particular LMS Moodle, are described. The examples of preparation of future bachelors of pedagogical education, studying informatics, for professional activity in conditions when training becomes mixed, that is, part of the classes can be conducted in person, and part — in a distance format are given. The methodology for conducting an elective course “Development technology and methodology for conducting elective courses in informatics” using distance technologies are described. The structure of the course is given, highlighting the modules and the content that should be learned during the course. Recommendations for conducting classes in this discipline are given. The conclusion is made about the positive and negative results of distance learning and its further prospects.
The article describes the processes of organizing and implementing distance learning at the Institute of Pedagogy, Psychology and Sociology of the Siberian Federal University in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The process of mastering the technology of electronic portfolio by bachelor students of the training direction “Pedagogical education”, the profile “Tutor” in the implementation of the discipline “E-portfolio in personal and professional development” is considered. The possibilities of using the means of distance educational technologies in the process of studying by students of the electronic training course “E-portfolio in personal and professional development” are presented. The methods of organizing classroom (practical) and independent work of students by the teacher in the implementation of this course using distance learning technologies are described. Examples of classes with a specific description of the stages, the distance technologies used, the actions of participants in the educational process — students and teachers; the results of students’ activities to perform part of the classroom and independent tasks of the electronic training course under consideration are presented. The results of students’ reflection on the course which was organized using the forum are presented in the article.
INFORMATIZATION OF EDUCATION
The article concludes the description of the standard regional infocommunication system “Student and Labor” (ST), begun by the authors in previous publications in the “Informatics and Education” journal. This system is an integral part of the regional system for identifying, developing and involving creatively gifted youth in labor activity, starting from high school age. The S&T system is aimed at identifying and developing university students who are creatively gifted in the field of science and technology in the process of their gradual involvement in real labor activities in cooperation with leading enterprises in the region. The S&T system is aimed at identifying and developing university students who are creatively gifted in the field of science, technology and technology in the process of their gradual involvement in real labor activity in interaction with the leading enterprises of the region. Organizational and informational issues of its creation and functioning were discussed in previous articles, this article presents tools that allows a student to most effectively plan the developmental content of his activities, taking into account individual goals and interests, available resources, as well as a wide range of opportunities provided by the surrounding socio-economic environment. The central part of the toolkit is an individually adjustable optimization mathematical model. The article provides a formalized description of this model and considers an example of its use.
