Learning Content Model: from Concept Structuring to Adaptive Learning

The aim of the study. In modern conditions of changing the global “educational landscape”, the leading trend in building a new educational process management system is the personalization of the educational process in the electronic environment. New pedagogical technologies and innovative forms of organizing personalized learning in the electronic environment are developing, one of which is adaptive learning. The development of the structure and content of adaptive e-learning courses, the design and implementation of an educational strategy, teaching methods, and approaches to assessing results is determined by the model of its subject domain - the model of learning content. The aim of the study is to develop an approach to constructing the learning content model of an adaptive e-learning course that provides a formalized presentation of the educational material of the discipline and the construction of a logically based strategy for its study.
Materials and methods. Methodological basis of research methods make up the logical-epistemological analysis and graph theory, and comparative analysis of psychological and pedagogical, scientific and methodical works, analysis of regulatory documents on research issues, professional and federal educational standards of higher education.
Results. A feature of the author's approach is structuring of the subject domain in the form of a sequence of terms (training objects) of the learning content, studied in a certain order and presented in several versions of the presentation. The presented model for constructing the learning content of the academic discipline differs from the wellknown ones by the presence of logical ordering of concepts based on the integration of logic methods of concept analysis, using logical and epistemological methods for correlating the volume and content of concepts with the methods of graph theory and hypergraphs. The definition of educational objects of a tree (hypergraphic tree) of terms is obtained on the basis of a concept tree of discipline with a further determination of the sequence of their study, as well as the inclusion of a phenomenological and structural model in the content of the educational object, which allows to identify and disclose the essence of each studied concept within the framework of the subject domain of discipline.
Conclusion. The proposed approach has been tested in the educational process of the program 09.03.02 – “Information systems and technologies” at the Siberian Federal University. Analysis of observations and evaluating the effectiveness of adaptive e-learning course in the educational process was carried out using the Kruskal-Wallis test by ranks. As a result of the experiment, it was revealed that at the end of the experiment, the control and experimental groups were statistically significantly different, which allowed us to conclude that the adaptive e-learning course developed in the educational process was effective. Adaptive e-learning courses, which are based on the approach proposed by the authors, made it possible to present educational content in the form of logically integral micro portions, which allow the adaptation of the educational environment to the individual characteristics of students. In the future, the proposed approach can contribute to development of personalized adaptive learning university ecosystems under digitalization formation.
