Abstract

Цель исследования. Рассматривается проблема обучения информатике курсантов военных высших учебных заведений в условиях перехода на использование отечественного программного обеспечения – операционную систему Astra Linux, комплектуемую офисным пакетом LibreOffice. Решение данной проблемы предполагает внесение изменений в содержание учебного курса. Поэтому целями исследования являлись: выработка рекомендаций по адаптации рабочих программ и тематических планов дисциплины «Информатика» под программное обеспечение Astra Linux, разработка учебно-методических материалов для проведения занятий по освоению программ офисного пакета LibreOffice, экспериментальное подтверждение эффективности применения в учебном процессе подготовленных методических разработок.
Материалы и методы исследования. Осуществлено практическое исследование на основе формирования контрольной и экспериментальной групп обучающихся первого курса. Учащиеся контрольной группы выполняли задания в офисных приложениях LibreOffice для Astra Linux с использованием справочной системы приложений. Курсанты экспериментальной группы использовали для решения задач учебно-методические материалы, разработанные авторами статьи. В методические материалы были включены задания с подробными рекомендациями по их выполнению и задания для самостоятельной работы, в которых обучаемые без помощи преподавателя вырабатывали порядок действий по решению задачи. Определяющим фактором при разработке заданий была профессиональная направленность последних и ориентация на формирование у курсантов компетенций в области использования отечественного программного обеспечения при решении повседневных и специальных задач. Анализ результатов исследования осуществлялся с применением методов математической статистики.
Результаты. Показано, что предложенный подход к обучению курсантов навыкам использования отечественного программного обеспечения для решения задач профессиональной деятельности является эффективным. Обоснованной является разработка учебно-методических материалов для проведения занятий, в состав которых вошли типовые задачи профессиональной деятельности военнослужащего репродуктивного и творческого характера решаемые с использованием программ офисного пакета LibreOffice. Включение в процесс обучения курсантов репродуктивных и творческих заданий является целесообразным, так как первые в основном направлены на освоение учащимися инструментальных средств программ офисного пакета LibreOffice, а вторые на закрепление и самостоятельное применение полученных знаний, а также на приобретение новых навыков.
Заключение. Экспериментально подтверждена эффективность предложенного подхода к обучению курсантов приемам работы с прикладными программами LibreOffice для Astra Linux. В ходе исследования обучаемые экспериментальной группы показали более высокое качество усвоения материала, что обусловлено применением при проведении занятий учебно-методических разработок, созданных преподавателями. Положительные результаты экспериментального исследования свидетельствует о возможности внедрения в учебный процесс военного вуза рекомендованных изменений содержания дисциплины «Информатика» и использовании для обучения курсантов учебно-методических материалов, разработанных авторами статьи. Описанный подход к подготовке и проведению занятий в военном вузе, при соответствующей адаптации заданий, может быть применен в высших технических учебных заведениях гражданской направленности при переходе на использование отечественного программного обеспечения.

Abstract

Purpose of the study. The purpose of the scientific article is to form a toolkit that makes it possible to assess the feasibility of introducing Smart City technologies into the management mechanism of a municipal formation based on the current state of the territory development. The achievement of this goal is regulated by the processes of considering the features of the Smart City concept in terms of the municipal formation development, generation of author's indicators for assessing the feasibility of introducing Smart City technologies into the management mechanism of the municipal formation, the development of a simulation model for assessing the feasibility of introducing Smart City technologies into the management mechanism of the municipal formation. The purpose of the study will allow confirming or rejecting the hypothesis about the advisability of introducing Smart City technologies into the management mechanism of the municipal formation.
Materials and methods. The research instrumental apparatus is based on the use of the following methods: the method for identifying essential characteristics, theoretical representation, data grouping, assessment, simulation modeling, Bass diffusion method, and graphical representations. The application of theoretical methods is aimed at studying indicators for assessing the feasibility of introducing Smart City technologies into the management mechanism of a municipal formation. The simulation modeling methods and Bass diffusion method will focus attention on the possibility of predicting the management mechanism of a municipal formation with the Smart City concept.
Results. Today, the postulates of the Smart City concept are not used within the framework of the municipal formation management mechanism. The study led to the conclusion that the Smart City concept is used for the development of some directions of the municipal formation (for example, the urban infrastructure). The lack of a regulatory and legal framework at the local level in the field of Smart-management and Smart-design shows the impossibility of assessing the feasibility of introducing Smart City technologies into the management mechanism of a municipal formation. At the municipal level, there is no effective toolkit for assessing the feasibility of introducing Smart City technologies into the management mechanism of a municipal formation. On the one hand, simulation modeling acts as a tool for accumulating and simplifying the parameters for assessing the feasibility of introducing Smart City technologies into the management mechanism of a municipal formation. On the other hand, simulation modeling focuses the attention on the process of forecasting the development of directions of the municipal formation management mechanism after Smart City technologies introduction. Within the framework of the study, the following conclusions were formed: Smart City concept is not adapted to the modern conditions of the development of the management mechanism of a municipal formation; the absence of a methodology for assessing the feasibility of introducing Smart City technologies into the management mechanism of a municipal formation doesn’t allow implementing effective measures for the development of small territories; simulation modeling is a rather interesting tool for medium-term forecasting of the feasibility of introducing Smart City technologies into the management mechanism of a municipal formation.
Conclusion. To introduce Smart City technologies into the management mechanism of a municipal formation, it is necessary to use modern assessment and simulation modeling tools to form an idea of the result of actions taken in the current period and in the medium term.

EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Purpose of the study. Educational methodological activity plays an important role in the life of the university, on the one hand, it determines the content of the educational process and sets the direction of development, on the other hand, it requires a significant amount of time from teachers, staff and managers. Continuing changes in the system of Russian higher education are reflected in educational methodological activities. When introducing and refining higher education standards and other normative documents, the means of describing the educational process in educational and methodological documentation change. The composition of educational methodological documents and the requirements for them are changing. Such concepts as “competence”, “type of activity”, “tasks of professional activity”, “labor functions”, etc. appear and then transform. The present work aims to track the dynamics of these changes and assess the increase in the complexity of educational methodological support.
Materials and Methods. To assess the dynamics of development of educational and methodological support, we will carry out a retrospective substantive analysis of educational and methodological support for each stage of its development, starting with the first generation of state educational standards. The analysis results will be visualized with the Entity-Relationship" diagrams, which allow reflecting the main entities of the scope, their attributes and relationships. Examples of entities are: competence, professional standard, educational result (different forms of skills), topic, module, etc. Such diagrams can be interpreted as metamodels of educational and methodological support. Next, we will carry out a comparative analysis of the obtained sequence of metamodels, which will allow us to understand the dynamics of their development.
Results. A set of metamodels of educational and methodological activities was built. The dynamics of the growth of the number of entities and relationships by year was found. We also studied changes in entities and details. A set of metamodels of educational and methodological activities was built, including metamodels for the following stages: state educational standards of the first generation, second generation, federal state educational standards or the third generation, generation 3+, generation 3 ++. If the first two models are characterized by relative simplicity, then the standards of the third generation required the development of a significant number of new entities associated with competencies, and another increase in complexity is observed for generation 3 ++, which is associated with the introduction of professional standards. The dynamics of growth in the number of entities, attributes and especially relationships has been established. Over the past two decades, the number of entities that are used in the creation of educational and methodological support has increased from 9 to 32, and the number of connections between them from 12 to 45. Changes in individual entities and details were also studied as the metamodels of educational and methodological support developed.
Conclusion. Based on the results of the analysis, describing tools for the educational and methodological support tend to become considerably more sophisticated. This is reflected in the labor costs of the formation of documents, as well as the time that must be spent by teachers and staff on studying the language of description of educational and methodological documents. Thus, there are risks of the educational and methodological support quality reducing and the risk of a gap between educational and methodological documentation and the real educational process of the university.

Abstract

Introduction. The main task of secondary schools is to prepare a new generation for activity, develop the creative potential of an individual, educate a creatively thinking younger generation, possessing the entire set of intellectual and cultural qualities. In this regard, the correct organization of extracurricular activities is of great importance. The aim of this article is to analyze the experience of conducting extracurricular activities in Azerbaijan schools and near and farabroad countries.
Research methodology and methods. In 2019 a pedagogical experiment was conducted among 219 pupils of urban, regional and rural schools in Azerbaijan. Initially, a preliminary survey was conducted among pupils of IV, VI, VIII, X, XI grades and a few months later a second survey was conducted among 453 pupils with the question "In what direction do you prefer to work in extracurricular activities?". A survey was used as a research method.
Results and discussion. The international experience of carrying out extracurricular activities is described. Proposals were put forward for the effective organization of extracurricular activities in accordance with the requirements of the XXI century. Azerbaijan experience in organizing extracurricular activities is described. In the process of the pedagogical experiment, in extracurricular activities, the pupils tried to improve their skills in various areas, using educational computer games, role-playing games and developing simple educational games. During the experiment, we found that pupils from different grades voluntarily joined the extracurricular activities. A second survey was conducted among pupils and the results show that they were more interested in educational games and computer setting operations.
Conclusion. Research results show that the correct organization of extracurricular activities has a significant impact on the intellectual development of pupils, contributes to the achievement of good learning outcomes in the educational process at school. In connection with the relevance of this topic, theoretical and practical research related to various forms of extracurricular activities and solving problems of their organization and implementation will be continued.
